Learn How to Dominate the Element Composition Perspective
LEARN HOW TO DOMINATE THE ELEMENT COMPOSITION PERSPECTIVE
Compose an image is to organize the elements that make up so that the result is a harmonious, balanced and aesthetically pleasing whole. You know some tools to improve the composition of your photos. Today I'll tell you about a very powerful and easy to handle, perspective.
The real world is three-dimensional and our eyes see it because, to be located in different positions, each collected in their retinas a slightly different picture of reality before them. With these small differences the brain calculates the distance at which the elements are. The calculation of distances is what sets the visualized in three dimensional spaces, obtaining a sense of depth or volume objects. The photograph, unlike the real world, is an art of only two dimensions. Still, we perceive depth in pictures. Why does this happen? As it happens because of the perspective, or what is the same, the perceived visual illusion for the observer and that helps you determine the depth and location of objects at different distances. Using this technique, art and photography a three-dimensional world is projected onto a two-dimensional surface. How is it done? Controlling the varying size of the objects or subjects of the image, overlaying and putting down those who are closest and above which are further away.
If you learn to master this technique, you will have a powerful composition tool that will help you achieve truly attractive images. If you want to know how, read with basic concepts and examples, you will learn what it takes to look through the viewfinder of your camera with another "perspective
Type's perspective
The important thing is to know the types of existing distend perspective and you can apply to your photos which is what we really want.
Linear Perspective
This perspective is a form of geometry in which the parallel lines are represented as converging at a point known as the vanishing point, causing the illusion of depth and distance.
Linear Perspective
This type of perspective can be enhanced in two ways:
With a wide angle: these objectives increase depth and exaggerated perspectives. Look at this example.
Image taken with a wide angle
With the angle of shot: depending on the angle from which we shoot, the prospect will be boosted or the opposite, remove the sense of depth. With chopped angle shot angle and will increase the depth and the nadir, zenith, or the same subject, the sense of depth will be reduced resulting in a flatter image. If you do not know these angles, does not worry, in the pictures below I explain each with an example and so you will understand better.
Chopped. The photo is taken from top to bottom, from a higher position than the object photographed.
Chopped. The photo is taken from top to bottom, from a higher position than the object photographed.
The photo is taken from the bottom up.
The picture is taken at the same level as the subject or object.
Nadir angle. It's like the angle shot, but the image is taken from a completely perpendicular point.
Aerial. It is chopped at the extreme angle. The image is taken from a completely perpendicular to the object, from top to bottom.
As you can see, in the first two cases the sense of depth is greater, while in the latter image the cars seem to be in the same plane!
Aerial Perspective
Also known as atmospheric perspective and can be enhanced by environmental conditions such as rain, fog... especially in landscapes, the farthest planes seem less sharp, with a bluish or grayish that the eye interprets as more distant, because cold colors are interpreted as further away, while warm as closest.
Aerial Perspective
Notice how the Foreground Mountains appear much sharper than the background. This effect is enhanced more with the fog and rain. If you're confused, look at the following example:
Stockholm under the fog
Forced Perspective
As the name suggests, is one that you can achieve by manipulating the scene. This is to ensure that the objects or subjects appear to be in the same plane. I've already discussed how to enhance the perspective function of the angle, but you can also create a composition that deceives the eye of the beholder, here's an example.
Example of forced perspective
In this photograph, the boy seems to be holding the plane; the eye interprets a distance when the reality is very different. You can achieve this effect and "fool" the viewer in two ways:
For the size of objects: large objects are interpreted as near while small are understood as distant. If you play with this effect you can achieve results like this. At first glance seem the same size two figures shaking hands, but it is not. The doll is placed in the foreground, while the girl is much further away, thus it seems smaller, matching the size of the doll.
Carlos Hernndez
For the position of objects: if an object is another cover that is in front. If not plug it can give the impression of being in the same plane, rather than one in front and one behind.
Forced Perspective playing with size and position of objects.
In this picture playing with the position of objects, if the hand (or other body part) of the subject that is in front gourd to the rear, this funny picture would not be so, because they seem to be in the same plane, such and as it happens.
To achieve such images just consider these two aspects and throw some imagination. Here you have some examples to spark your curiosity and, incidentally, your creativity.
The image bank is different from what I was telling you to make objects appear to be in the same plane, but it's another way to fool the eye playing with perspective and achieve original and funny pictures.
How to get the most out of perspective?
1 Use different targets to play with depth of field. For example, photograph a landscape worth the sense of depth is as large as possible, for it uses a small opening, or what is the same a large f-number. To photograph people buildings or larger objects, especially if it is at the same level, better do not, the shallower depth of field blurs the background making it seem more distant.
2 To achieve better images using forced perspective, I recommend you use a small aperture (high f number) for all objects out equally focused. Plan well the scene and take the time necessary to achieve the most perfect image possible. Most likely you have to do several shots until you get the desired effect. And a trick, firing from a point of view as low as possible, get the foreground objects appears much larger.
The camera, being fired from a very low angle seems much larger.
3 Linear perspective is more evident the more straight lines appear in the composition. This will not make it in landscape photography where straight lines are scarce, but it gives very good results in architectural photography. Search converging lines, besides gaining depth guide the viewer's eye.
4 Shoot from as low as possible so the lines seem to start much further apart.
5 can enhance the size of objects compared with others that have reference, so the viewer can see how big it is. I mean, usually appear in a landscape elements that shed light on the size of what is around, a tree, an animal... However, sometimes there are no such elements to help us, but you can put them. If you want to show the immensity of a mountain adds a human figure, thus also will add a point of interest in the image. The same structures can be used in architecture or similar.
The size of the people on the rock helps us verify its immensity.
Search 6 different perspectives or points of view to the human eye to your photographs to achieve a greater impact. Take a little imagination and dale "around" until you find a striking image.
Unleash your creativity.
