How to shoot plum blossoms

Since ancient times, there have been many poems by Yongmei, and Bian Xiao thinks that Yongmei, a poet of the Song Dynasty, has the most unique artistic conception: "The shadow is shallow, and the fragrance floats on the moon and dusk". In modern times, plum blossom has won the favor of many photographers with its unique style. So how to shoot plum blossoms well? In fact, to shoot plum blossom well, it is nothing more than these composition elements: sparseness, shadow, horizontal, oblique, shadow, color, clarity and lightness. Let's talk about it in detail.

1, plum blossom shooting is not only a simple plum blossom shooting, but also an expression of artistic conception. The trunk of plum blossom is exquisite and vigorous, and its texture is very rich. In stark contrast to the elegant and fresh plum blossoms. The charm of plum blossom lies in its ability to resist the wind and snow. Therefore, we should put the situation first when shooting plum blossoms. The shape of plum blossom branches is more important than plum blossom itself. Selecting branches for painting is the premise of whether a painting attracts attention or not.

2. It is called "Mei Yun Si Gui" to reward the rarity and delicacy of Mei, its antiquity and gentleness, and its fat and fat. Therefore, in the composition of plum blossom photography, it is a better composition method to learn from the "blank space" in Chinese painting. In the picture, plum blossom, as the main body, only occupies a part of the picture, deliberately leaving a blank part of the picture space, thus making the picture look clean and orderly. You can also use the natural extension of the euphemistic curve of its trunk to make a composition.

3. Good light is a necessary condition to capture the natural beauty of plum blossom, which is suitable for various types of light; When using sunlight, we should pay attention to the choice of branches and flowers with characteristics in color and level to avoid the dull picture caused by sunlight; When using backlight and side backlight, although the texture is well realized, it is easy to overexpose or underexpose. Special attention should be paid to this point. It is best to use spot metering to obtain shooting data. It is also necessary to control the background, shoot in reverse light, deepen the background color, and make the outline of the main flower more distinct. The flowers in the distance are looming and layered. Sometimes you can also use the natural color blocks formed by the blurring of nearby plum blossoms as the foreground to give the picture a sense of depth.
