How to shoot rape flowers to look good?

Different from ordinary flowers, rape flowers basically grow in pieces, generally clustered, and there are not a few rape fields of more than ten acres and hundreds of acres. Poor shooting makes the photos messy, the subject is not prominent, and it is easy to shoot passers-by, which is also one of the difficulties in shooting.

The composition is irregular, the background is messy and the theme is not prominent.

Usually, we can take photos with our mobile phones at any time, but in fact, if we want to take a good view, we still need to master some shooting skills to make your photos more amazing. Therefore, we played a vital role in the composition selection of the previous shooting.

Let's turn the common photography thinking into photography thinking to talk about how to shoot rape fields:

Three shooting concepts

I want to shoot a whole sea of rape flowers = take a panoramic view.

Q: How to take a big picture?

A: When shooting a big scene, you can use the horizontal composition and the wide-angle end of the mobile phone to shoot, and at the same time, you can use different angles and positions to arrange and combine.

For example, there are conditions to stand on a high place and shoot from top to bottom; If you don't have the conditions, shoot flat in the line of sight, and pay attention to removing the messy background.

There are too many people around, so I want to shoot rape flowers and the sky = shoot the middle scene.

Q: How to shoot the middle scene well?

A: In the sea of rape blossoms, in order to avoid taking pictures of people's heads, we chose to shoot the local rape fields, whether horizontally or vertically. We use the zoom function of mobile phone or camera to simplify the complex and select the scenery with good picture sense for up/down/flat shooting.

Triangulation-Shoot Up

Triangular composition-plane shooting

Extension Line Composition-Plane Shooting

Common mid-range shooting can use the above composition (three-dimensional composition, extended line composition, triangle composition, etc.). ) to make a blockbuster that surprises friends! The rape field in spring is so beautiful, of course, we should take photos to record it.

I just want to take a flower or an artistic photo alone = close-up.

Q: How to take a close-up?

A: When shooting close-ups, you need to use the large aperture mode/portrait mode/macro lens that comes with your mobile phone, and also use different shooting angles and camera arrangements to shoot, which will bring unexpected surprises.

Large aperture mode-overhead shooting

Matters needing attention

1. Try to choose sunny weather, and the color will be better;

2. It is best to shoot before 10: 30 am or after 3: 30 pm, and the light is just soft;

3. Avoid shooting rape blossoms in the backlight, the picture is easy to be opaque and the picture is dirty and dark;

4. The shooting of large scenes is mostly represented by horizontal composition, and the shooting of middle scenes or close-ups can be done by vertical composition.

How to shoot a portrait of rape?

Preparation before shooting

As the saying goes: "Sharpen the knife and cut the wood by mistake", a group of successful portrait shooting can not be separated from the early preparation, the control of shooting time and place and the color matching of the environment.

The following are some experiences of taking portraits in rape fields:

Shooting time: the same as shooting flowers. Morning and evening are the best, sunny day is the best, cloudy day is the best.

Clothing selection: try to choose solid colors and light colors, such as small white skirts and white shirts, and avoid choosing red and green clothes. Similar colors and contrast colors are good.

Props: straw hats, mirrors, canvas bags and veils are all common.

Makeup: simple makeup, fresh and exquisite peach blossom makeup, pure oxygen makeup. If there are petals on the makeup, it will be more brilliant.

Four simple and easy-to-use synthesis methods

I think the importance of composition is self-evident. Here are some common and practical writing skills. If you have hands, you can shoot and learn.

Triangular synthesis

Ordinary trisection is one of the most practical composition methods. When shooting at close range, people's eyes are on the three-point line. When shooting big scenes, put people at the three-point line.

Diagonal composition

Let the model's body movements or the subject's expression or line of sight be located on the diagonal, which has the function of highlighting the subject's expression of emotions and artistic conception.

Triangular composition

When shooting, try to form multiple triangles in the picture to make the picture stable and highlight the main characters.

Frame composition

The foreground rape field is the foreground, and the characters are placed in the center of the flower surface, which increases the richness and layering of the picture. It is best to choose the blue sky as the background to highlight the emotional expression of the main characters.

03

poses for photographing

Photographers can't sway, and photographers can't dominate. Then you can consider giving appropriate guidance to the model from the following parts.

Stand in front/to the side/behind.

At first, the model will inevitably get stuck. We can take some relatively quiet and artistic photos, stand quietly, look into the distance or close our eyes to feel the nature.

Bend down properly and interact with flowers/lenses.

In the process of taking pictures, guide the model to interact with flowers, pick a small flower to wear on the ear, and shoot the blue sky at a low angle to make the background picture cleaner. The model can also interact with the camera, and the shutter can make the model laugh instantly. Bend down and remember to nod appropriately. It is easier to take a thin shot of the model.

To walk/run/jump

After shooting for a period of time, wait for the model to become more and more familiar with your feelings, and then shoot some interactive and lively pictures. For example, looking back from time to time when running in the field, striding on the country road, being funny and so on. , are the key factors that can increase the story and durability of the picture.

Squat in a flower field/by the side of the road

Running and standing models have been photographed for a long time, and I am almost tired of playing. Let her squat down and have a rest, manage her expression a little, and then some photos come out.

Sit on the ground/on the ridge

In addition to standing and running, ordinary oil fields will also have special water diversion and canal repair, and models can be arranged to sit on the stone ridge and do some nifty and lovely actions to take pictures. The model will also slowly relax and better enter the shooting state.

04

Clever use of props

Using local materials-rape flowers

Shooting portraits related to flowers, ready-made props are none other than these small flowers! It can be used as a foreground blur to create a sense of depth in the picture, and can also be used as a decoration for the overall shape, such as wearing a hood, sticking a cheek, holding a bouquet, interacting with the camera, interacting with the model, and smelling flowers.

For sunshade straw hats.

The straw hat that matches the original clothing shape of the model can be used to take some close-ups to express the coming of spring, and can also be used to give the model a concave shape. For example, wear it on your head, block your mouth and don't laugh, and carry it behind your back.

Small mirrors make creativity.

The indispensable small items in girls' bags can also be used as props to shoot different creative spring rape flowers. The brain hole can be bigger to get different beautiful photos! Mirroring can also increase the layering of the image.

Post-retouching typesetting

Although a lot of efforts have been made in the early stage of shooting, we can't ignore it in the later stage. A little modification can make the photos more attractive. According to your favorite style and early shooting ideas, use some post-retouching software to achieve an ideal film.

The following Japanese small fresh style patch color matching ideas can be used for reference:

Retouching software: Snapseed

After determining the color scheme, you can save the template and copy it to the same group of pictures with similar light parameter settings before processing.

In addition to pre-shooting and post-retouching, the last step of typesetting is also indispensable. You're one step away from a magazine rape movie.

Many retouching software comes with many spring magazine-style templates, which can be applied directly. Select the appropriate picture to insert and adjust the parameters and filters appropriately. The following are for reference only:

Typesetting Software: Wake Up Pictures-Open Template Bar

Typesetting renderings

Learn the above shooting skills and precautions, and then properly color and roughly typeset later, and the high-level photos of amazing friends circle will be done.

I hope this tutorial can help you shoot a satisfactory rape portrait, and I look forward to your contribution in the background.
