Mistake 1. This mistake is easy for many novices to make.
Many novice friends, when taking pictures of leaves, easily make the mistake in Figure 2, because novices have also read some photography tutorials and know that shooting with backlight, can make the leaves look more textured. The texture is better, and he also learned to use diagonal composition to position the branches close to the diagonal to make the picture look more tense. But his mistake was that he was greedy for too much. In the photo in Figure 2, there are too many leaves in the picture, which makes the overall look too messy.
Figure 1:

In the photo of Figure 1, although there are many maple leaves, the background has been blurred. The several maple leaves in the upper right corner of the foreground have also been blurred, and the few in the middle have also been blurred. A big maple leaf, is relatively clear, and it is at the visual center of the picture, so the primary and secondary aspects of this photo are more prominent. If the picture has a primary and secondary contrast , it will not appear empty or chaotic. Look at Figure 3 again.
Figure 2:

Figure 3 is not greedy, and the leaves are well separated from the background. However, the leaves in the foreground are all presented in the shape of lines instead of being displayed as a flat surface. The flat maple leaves of are blocked by the line maple leaves. In addition, the overall picture looks darker.
Figure 3:

Mistake 2. Many friends have made this mistake without knowing it.
Figure 4:

Look at the photo in Figure 4, is it correct? In the picture, there is a contrast between reality and reality. The bright photo in the middle has a more prominent texture. However, do you always feel that this photo is different from ? Do you know where he went wrong?
Figure 5:

First of all, there are quite a lot of leaves in the picture. Although there is only one main body with clear leaves, the other leaves are closer to it, have similar colors, and are similar in shape and size, so they all play a role in causing trouble and do not add points to this photo. Look at Figure 5 again. The maple leaves in this photo are very clear . The overall color of the background clearly stands out from the foreground, so it will make the photo look more layered and have a sense of space. Although the background There are light spots, and the light spots look softer, not overexposed, and there is white space in the upper right corner of the leaf. In this way, the photo in Figure 5 will not look as crowded as Figure 4. The space, layering, and three-dimensionality of the photo will be better, and the artistic sense will be stronger. Do you agree?
error three, shoot casually.
Figure 6:

Many novice friends will have this question, why do the fallen leaves that others take casually look good, but the fallen leaves that you take casually are just average? You have to know here that shoots casually, it does not mean just taking it and taking it, but before taking the photo, you also have to think about the view, the composition, and the use of light. uses light and color. Sometimes, you even need to place the fallen leaves to be photographed in a place with light, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 7:

Or like Figure 7, place the fallen leaves to be photographed on the stagnant water, and use the stagnant water to take the reflection. What you see is just a random shot, but you don’t see He has actually squatted down and put the camera close to the water to capture the reflection of the water. Only then can the leaf be photographed with a good symmetry effect, making the photo look more three-dimensional.
If you want to take beautiful photos casually, don’t forget to think carefully before taking them. Only with enough practice will it be easier for you to take beautiful photos casually. Before you can win without a license, you have to practice countless moves.
Mistake 4. There are levels, but no focus.
Figure 8:

In this photo, the background is blue, and the leaves in the foreground are gray-orange. The foreground color has a good contrast with the background color, and the leaves in the foreground are very clear, but the overall look of this photo is still too messy. It is better to only take one or two branches, or one or two leaves, like Figure 9, the picture will be more simple.
Do you agree with this last point of view? Do you like Figure 8, Figure 9, or neither? Leave your answer in the comment area.
