georgeHo

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, many photographers experience a longing to capture those stunning vistas, towering mountains and waterfalls, decorated valleys, and quiet pools, alive with light and color. Unfortunately, after photographing landscapes, many photographers often experience a startling sense of defeat when the images turn out to be shapeless, emotionless and otherwise amateur in post-processing.
周围环绕着美丽的大自然，很多摄影师渴望捕捉到那些迷人的景色，巍峨的高山和瀑布，如画的山谷，和安静的水池，闪烁的灯光和色彩。不幸的是，很多摄影师得到的只是一些失败的图像。

In this video, award-winning landscape photographer Antony Spencer shares 10 tips for landscape photographers looking to hone their craft and produce high quality work—including some composition advice to help infuse photographs with shape and feeling:
在这段视频中，屡获殊荣的风景摄影师安东尼斯，宾塞分享其风景摄影的10个技巧和生产高品质的工作，包括一些组合建议，以帮助构图和美感注入照片：




1. Minimize camera shake. Using a tripod, a remote shutter release cable, and mirror lock mode will drastically improve the sharpness of long exposures. And if it’s windy during a shoot, remove that camera strap!
最大限度地减少相机抖动。使用三脚架，遥控快门线和反光镜锁定模式，这将大大提高长时间曝光的清晰度。如果是多风的拍摄过程中，拿掉相机的背带！

2. Create strong composition by finding natural S-shapes.  Also remember to use the rule of thirds and keep as much of the image in sharp focus as possible—especially the foreground.
寻找S形状。还记得使用三分法，保持尽可能多的图像前景，尤其是关注焦点的锐利。

“The foreground is the crucial element of any landscape photograph,” Spencer said. “If I can find a beautiful S-shape curve to lead through the foreground and out into the photograph, I know I’m on to something.”
“前景是任何风景照片的关键因素， ”斯宾塞说。 “如果我能找到一个美丽的S形曲线，从前景引入照片，我知道那就是我需要的东西。 ”

3. Always carry essential camera accessories. Spencer never leaves home without a tripod, a polarizing filter, a neutral density filter, a small compact ball head, and a cable release.
总是随身携带必备的相机配件：三脚架，偏振滤光片，中性密度滤光片，一只小型球头云台，快门线。（根据3#翻译修改）

4. Plan ahead. In as much detail as possible, scope out your location before you even arrive. Know where the sun will be at the time of your shoot and how long it will be there.
提前计划。知道尽可能多的细节，了解太阳在你的拍摄的时候将会有多久。

5. Don’t try to fit everything you see into one photograph. Don’t be afraid to zoom in and break the scene down into smaller sections.
不要试图拍摄一张照片，以适应你看到的一切。不要怕放大只摄取较小的场景。

“Quite often, just picking out small sections [and] working with a longer lens will, more often than not, present you with the best photographs,” said Spencer.
斯宾塞说：“经常，更多的时候是使用一个较长的镜头选取小的场景来获得最好的照片说：”


水平拍摄虽然会显示更多的海滩，但是竖拍较小的场景反而更能够体现完美的S曲线。

6. “Future-proof” your work. Buy the best gear you can afford.
“面向未来”的工作。买你能负担得起的最好的装备。

7. Use different camera systems based on the needs of each image. You have to know your different systems quite well to be able to make this call, so study up on your cameras and lenses and take many practice shots.
根据每个图像的需求使用不同的相机系统。你应该对这些不同的器材了如指掌，才能够用好他们，所以学习你的相机和镜头，并采取许多实际拍摄。

8. Blend images sparingly. Don’t depend on blending, Spencer says, but do blend if a particular shot calls for it. Blending is great for keeping both the foreground and the background sharp, or for achieving sharp detail in one area of the photograph and capturing movement in another area.
混合影像。不要依赖于混合，斯宾塞说，但如果一个特定的拍摄要求做混合。保持前景和背景都锐利，或在一个区域实现锐利的细节，在另一个领域捕捉运动。


这个镜头需要混合，以保证锐利的鲜花和乳白色的浪花。

9. Shoot in the highest quality possible. Shoot in manual mode at the optimum ISO for your camera system. This will most likely require you to take some practice shots.
尽可能的最高质量拍摄。在手动模式下最佳ISO。这将需要您采取一些练习。

“It’s not always necessarily the lowest ISO setting that’s going to produce the cleanest files and give you the best result,” Spencer said. “I think that’s definitely worth taking some time to investigate before you start using your camera really seriously in the field.”
“并不一定总是最低的ISO设置会产生干净的文件，给你最好的结果 ”斯宾塞说。 “我认为这是绝对值得花一些时间去调查，然后再在现场认认真真的开始使用你的相机。 ”

10. Seek out unique subjects and be willing to work hard to find them. Be willing to go anywhere and do anything within reason to take photographs that will set you apart in the field and get your work noticed.
寻求独特的科目，并愿意努力找到他们。愿意去任何地方，在合理范围内做任何事情，使得你的工作受到注意。

“Do whatever it takes to get wherever [you] need to be to make the images [you] want to make… pushing yourself to get away from the main locations and the really well-trodden locations photographically and getting into the backcountry to create images that people don’t see or people haven’t seen,” Spencer said. “Anything that’s new and unique will really help to elevate anybody that’s striving to stand out as a landscape photographer.”
“做任何事，无论你需要，使图像[你]想逼迫自己摆脱的主要位置和真正的地点照相并获得良好的践踏到穷乡僻壤来创建图像人们看不到人没见过， “斯宾塞说。 “任何新的和独特的将真正有助于提升人的努力脱颖而出作为一个风景摄影师。 ”
