There are many beautiful scenery in nature, and the lake is one of them! What is the lake like? How to retain the different beauty of the lake? Different lakes have different characteristics and can capture different scenery.


1. Find the right opportunity.


The water in different places will show different colors due to geological, climate and other reasons, so that the water surface presents a very beautiful color.


Shoot at sunrise and sunset for best results. At this time, the color of the sky is changeable, and the sunset and clouds can add a lot of color to the photo.


2. When shooting waterscapes, try to choose soft light so that the water surface presents very saturated colors.


3. The rule of thirds composition.


The rule is to place the horizontal line at the top or bottom 1/3 of the picture when shooting the water surface, which is more in line with visual aesthetics.


When composing a picture, integrating the sky and water into the picture can not only form a beautiful symmetrical composition, but also the colors of the sky and clouds will be reflected in the water, and the color of the picture will be richer and more charming.


4. Add characters.


When shooting, you can use the backlight to process companions such as birds and yachts into silhouettes or semi-silhouettes.


The foreground can also be appropriately increased to break the emptiness and monotony of the lake surface, thereby increasing the spatial depth and three-dimensionality of the picture. For example, lake branches, wildflowers, rocks, etc. are all good references.


5. Use reflections.


The reflection formed by the lake is combined with the ground scene to form a perfectly symmetrical composition. Because the water scatters some light, the brightness of the shot is usually lower than the brightness of the real scene.
