Autumn is halfway through, but the people of Guangdong have only officially entered the "autumn group chat" in the past few days.
Children in the north are basking in the circle of friends, and children in the south can only dry this year's popular autumn clothes in the circle of friends....
The South can be without autumn, but Southerners cannot be without the ritual of autumn!
Today, I will share with you the advanced method of "shooting autumn" common in the north and south.
As we all know, the main color of autumn is "yellow", which is a symbol of harvest and warmth, and "autumn yellow" injects a special color force into photography at this time.
"Autumn yellow" does not only "grow" on trees, it can exist in many forms.

Autumn water
The water in autumn is clear and cool, and the water in autumn also has a little more lonely and lonely background. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the colors and affection of the autumn water can not be missed!
Whether it's the water gushing onto the beach or the rippling waves in a stream, you should record it with a 5x telephoto.
Shooting the surging sea water is composed diagonally to better express the dynamics of the water.

Photographing the water waves in the stream should be shot backlit, which can highlight the order of the water waves.

After entering the autumn, the small fishing village in the south has neither the warmth of the north nor the depression of the northwest, and a quiet and peaceful scene is the most true portrayal of the small fishing village in the south.
After autumn, the sun goes down relatively early, and it is very interesting to go to the river around 6 p.m. to take a few pictures of the fishing village.
Shooting skills: Reducing the exposure compensation can reduce the brightness of the picture to weaken the role of details, and the concise picture can better express the mood of autumn.

Autumn winds rise, crabs come.
Students who live by the sea, you can also go to the beach to see, this season people often catch crabs at the beach.
Autumn is getting stronger, and the beaches in early autumn are less touristy but more warm. Therefore, the children of the south do not have to envy the maple leaves in the north, and the autumn in the south can also be very distinctive.
Shooting tip: If the sunset is not yellow enough, you can use the pro mode to set the white balance to 10000k for shooting.

Children in the south can use water to "dry autumn", and children in the north can of course use water to shoot different fallen leaves.
For example, like the following classmate, the reflection of the trees is combined with the fallen leaves in the waterhole, and the virtual and real picture can not only express the theme but also add a kind of ingenuity to the picture.

Autumn clouds
Look at the flowers in the spring, see the rain in the summer, see the clouds in the autumn, and see the snow in the winter. If you look closely, the autumn clouds are the most variable.
It may disappear without a trace, spreading between the mountains and the mountains.

In the world where cold and warm blend, every shutter of the photographer is to create a beautiful picture.
Shooting technique: Borrow grid lines to compose the picture, the landscape is placed in the lower third, and the sky is placed in the upper two-thirds.

The sunset is picturesque, and the breeze is drunk in the sunset. Gentle and elegant, ink color is fragrant.
Autumn clouds are colorful, often forming a huge cotton shape, and the clear outlines appear very thick.
Size comparison: To reflect the "sense of heaviness" in photography techniques, it is necessary to find a small companion to set off, such as the cable rack of the landscape.

The autumn clouds are gentle and poetic, it has no summer frenzy, no spring vagaries, and no winter gloom and ruthlessness.
Autumn clouds are more like a maiden with spring in mind, weaving her beautiful dreams in the sky.

Autumn people
Autumn is both a busy and lonely mood, and this conflict can bring a lot of inspiration to photography.
Whether it is busy or lonely, the expression of emotions can be expressed through the state of the character.
For example, the dynamic scene of farmers driving a modern tractor with billowing smoke can express a warm atmosphere.
The phone turns on the HDR function, so that the color details of farmland, people, and sky can be better expressed.

The busy figure of the autumn harvest is also our subject.
Turn your phone upside down to take a reflection in the water, and record the characters with the crops, and the atmosphere will be more intense.

If you want to express an atmosphere of emptiness and loneliness, you can use the form of blank space.
Of course, since it is based on the theme of autumn, it is necessary to add some autumn elements.
For example, the withered trunk, a person and a tree and a sea, the photo expresses a lonely mood.

The photo below of the withered grass illustrates the seasonality of the work. The author also uses a large area of blank space, the purpose of which is to highlight the empty autumn landscape.

Autumn vegetation
Autumn breezes and fallen leaves. In the matter of photographing vegetation, how to shoot more advanced? Presumably, it is a problem that many students want to understand. Let's share with you the creative ideas for different subjects.
(1) Dry vegetation
Shadow shooting: The sunlight reflects the dry weeds outside the window on the wall, and the dry atmosphere of early autumn is ready to come out.

High Contrast: High contrast is a common post-production method used by many photographers when dealing with autumn photography.
This post-production method can make the autumn mood of the photo more intense, especially the withered trunk.

(2) Grassland
You should rarely see anyone go to the prairie to shoot macro, right? The grassland mainly conveys a magnificent visual effect, and the method of expressing a wide range has also talked about the "size contrast method" before.
Unlike other seasons, the autumn grasslands often give people an ethereal meditation, such as a single small house in the grassland, which not only sets off the grandeur of the grassland, but also makes the viewer think: Who lives here?

Contrast: Of course, the autumn grassland can also see the collision of colors. For example, white horses stand out in this grassland.
Autumn trip to the grassland should not only shoot the grassland and the sky, but also add some points of interest to the picture, so that your photos can have more imagination space.

(3) Streams
Of the many photographs you've seen about autumn, there must be a lot of pictures of streams. Why do photographers like to photograph water in the fall?
That's because photographing water also needs the background of the environment, autumn layers of forest, thousands of purples and thousands of reds intertwined, using a slow door to shoot, the photo will look very poetic.

During the day, the flowing water can be used to use the "silk flowing water" function, and switching to the ultra-wide angle can show the variety of the water flow.

Seeing this, I believe that everyone will have a new understanding and new creative inspiration for "shooting autumn".
The advanced shooting method of autumn is to borrow scenery to write freehand, combine different scenes, and use different shooting methods to show the artistic conception of autumn.
