Find the theme

Before shooting flowers, you must find a perfect material. Different flowers have different charms, even flowers of the same species have different ways. This requires us to adjust measures to local conditions, carefully observe and choose the most beautiful flowers to shoot. As the saying goes: "One look, two products, three lenses."

composition

The attractive theme is very important for a good flower photography, and the control of composition, light consumption, color tone and depth of field is also the key factor to success or failure of shooting.

The basic requirement of composition is to highlight and beautify the theme. The purpose of flower photography composition is to show a vivid, perfect and charming image and artistic conception by using various photographic modeling methods. In short, make the picture more beautiful. When shooting flower composition, we often face a mess, so we should try our best to get rid of useless or disturbing scenes and highlight the theme with simple pictures. This way, the picture will not appear monotonous. For example, a peach or pear tree in full bloom beside the village road, with some village shadows or children playing, will make the picture more artistic and more spring-like. For example, small dewdrops on petals, bees and butterflies dancing on stamens can all be painted with flowers to make the picture more vivid and energetic.

exhaust

The use of light is an important method of photographic art modeling, and it is a decisive factor to highlight the texture, posture, color and level of flowers. Shoot the same flower, different lights, and the result is completely different. Under the condition of natural light, backlight is easy to get good results and can outline the outline. Light passes through petals and leaves to make them transparent, creating a three-dimensional effect and hiding the messy background. Shooting along the light, the flowers are evenly distributed and brightly colored, but the texture is dull; Side light shooting, the flowers are lifelike and rich in texture.

colour

When shooting flowers, the picture should have a main color, which is either warm or cold. The color processing should not be chaotic, and the colors should be harmonious. Each flower has its own color characteristics, so it is necessary to manage the color of the picture according to different themes and different lighting conditions, so as to make the picture with harmonious colors more pleasing to the eye.

Control depth of field

Pay attention to the control of the aperture on the depth of field when shooting flowers. Use the larger aperture of the lens to blur the messy background and make the picture clean and concise. Proper primary and secondary pictures are more aesthetic and can reflect the beauty and vitality of flowers. To control the depth of field, in addition to adjusting the lens aperture, you can also use the telephoto lens of photographic equipment to be close to the subject, so as to realize shallow depth of field, blur the foreground and background and highlight the subject.
