Sometimes there is only a proper lead between a bad film and a good picture.

Guide lines can not only highlight the sense of existence of the main body in the picture, but also play a role in balancing the composition and highlighting the connotation of photos. Today, let's take a look at how photographers use guide lines in international photography competitions:

1. The most obvious feature of the line-of-sight guide is to guide the line of sight through a variety of "lines" to focus people's attention on a certain place, so as to highlight the subject, or point out the gist of the photo.

"through my work, I try to describe how cities and countries evolve over time, and how architecture has become an essential part of this gradual process," said Martin Schubert, author of this photo, one of the award-winning works in the architecture category of the 2014 Hassel Masters.

In fact, we can see that the overall performance of the photo is relatively average, no matter the light, shadow, color, or even the shooting weather is not excellent, but the guide structure constructed by the road and tracks is worth learning, and the curved tracks give people a sense of extension. at the same time, the line of sight is directed to the halo in the distance, highlighting the main body of the photo.

Obvious elements such as tracks, roads and building structures are suitable to be used as guides for the picture, and the guides can also exist in an unobvious way.

two。 An obscure guide line

At first glance, this photo does not have any obvious guidance. If we carefully look at the structure and composition direction of the photo, we can see that the direction of movement of the aircraft, the sense of perspective, the structure of some components on the aircraft, and the shape of the aircraft in the upper right corner, and even the direction of the pilot's eyes, are all diagonal guiding structures from the upper left to the lower right, which strengthens the unity of the photo. It also enhances the visual impact of the picture, but also makes people have an immersive sense of forward impact, and a variety of non-obvious guide structures can also play a strong guiding role.

The same is true of this photo, burying the leads in the structure of characters, cars and deserts, giving the picture a sense of continuity.

3. Dynamic leads can also create motion, such as the following photo:

The use of slow doors to beat the flow of water out of the feeling of wire drawing, but also let the water form a lot of guide lines, continuous, curved, repetitive guide lines can show a dynamic feeling, combined with the flow, strengthen this feature.

The tracks in the first photo also have this feature, especially the feeling of bending, which can greatly enhance the sense of motion.

4. Depth, three-dimensional sense from the far and near guide lines can enhance the depth and three-dimensional sense of the picture, making the photo more visual impact.

This award-winning photo of the 2021 Hasu Masters shows this very well. The elongated shadow of the characters, the faint lines on the ground, and the structure with a strong sense of perspective on the top of the head all give people a strong three-dimensional sense. The most wonderful thing is that there is steam generated by the train in the photo, which gives some hazy feeling in the scene and further strengthens the contrast between light and shadow. Make this depth and three-dimensional sense more obvious in the contrast.

The station is a very easy place to film, the layout of the station, structural perspective is very strong, if the light is right, it is very easy to create a wonderful scene, at the same time, the station is also easy to find stories, friends who like documentary photography can pay attention to this site.
