In the previous article "Composition for Photographing Flowers (1) Properly Arrange the Foreground and Background of the Picture", we talked about how to arrange the foreground and background of the picture. Today we will talk about the most common and practical composition. Rule

in the previous article "

Using this composition method, you can divide the picture into three equal parts, or place the subject on any straight line in the picture, or at the intersection of straight lines. Such a picture will make People feel harmonious and have a sense of beauty. This kind of composition is mainly because people's eyes always naturally fall on 1/3 of a picture. Placing the subject or center of interest in these positions is more in line with people's aesthetic habits than placing it in the center of the picture, making the picture more beautiful. Harmonious and more comfortable.

There are related settings in the current mobile phone camera settings. and on Huawei mobile phones are called reference lines. After turning on this setting, white tic-tac-toe lines will appear on the photo page. I only need to turn on the reference lines and it can be used conveniently. Help us use the rule of thirds for photographic composition. The rule of thirds applies to both horizontal and vertical frames. Arranging the subject and companion according to the rule of thirds will make the photo appear compact and powerful.

1. Horizontal position arrangement

If we take a banner scenery photo with a sky horizon and a horizontal line, we must not divide the sky and the ground into two, which will make the picture dull. If the sky has beautiful clouds and sunset, we can The sky takes up two-thirds of the picture. If the sea of ​​flowers on the ground is very beautiful, the ground part can occupy two-thirds of the picture. In other words, wherever the scenery is wonderful, that place occupies a larger area of ​​the screen.

The sky is colorful clouds, which can occupy two-thirds of the screen.

The ground is a sea of ​​flowers, which can occupy two-thirds of the screen.

Do not divide the sky and the ground into two, which will appear dull

2. The position of the vertical subject is arranged

When shooting vertical scenes such as buildings and portraits, you can place the subject 1/3 of the way to one side of the screen according to your shooting intention. If the character is facing the left, you should place the character 1/3 of the way to the right. This will make the picture feel relaxed and not so depressing. If you arrange it to the left, it will feel like the character has no room to stretch. Place it in the middle. It will look dull and not pretty enough. If it is an object with no sense of direction, it can be arranged on the left and right sides.

The character is facing to the left, so place the character 1/3 on the right

3. Positioning of the center of interest

The center of interest of the picture is also called the focus point. This focus point is when the viewer sees a picture. When taking photos, we often focus on the most interesting place in the picture, which is usually not the main subject of the picture. The center of interest is usually just an element, occupying a small proportion of the picture, while the main subject of the picture occupies the majority of the picture. Space. Generally speaking, unless a rigid and symmetrical composition is pursued, the center of interest will not be placed in the center of the frame. The correct method is to place the center of interest near the rule of thirds or at the intersection of the nine-square grid.

The figure in front and the trees behind are two centers of interest. They are arranged at the intersection of the two corners to keep the picture balanced.
