How to shoot vegetables with a novice SLR?

1, using the depth of field of the lens and choosing a specific focus, you can present the three-dimensional sense of food.

Many times, the dining scene is messy and the background is not concise enough. Using shallow depth of field can highlight the theme and blur the messy background. Please select the focus manually when shooting the mobile phone, and wait for the lens to focus for about two seconds. In view of the limitation of mobile phone lens, the closer to the lens, the better. Of course, Instagram, Snapseed and other apps also have tools to simulate tilting and shifting effects, which are artificially blurred in the later period.

2, using macro lens or macro mode, mobile phone shooting must be held with both hands, it is best to rely on a stable fulcrum.

In hotels, the light is often dim, and the shutter speed will slow down, which is easy to blur the picture. The mobile phone can use HDR mode. If the edge of the food plate is low, I tend to keep my mobile phone steady against the desktop, especially when you need to shoot the first shallow depth of field effect above.

3. brightly colored food will perform better in photos.

4. Pay attention to the composition of food, such as placing geometric figures or lines.

In composition skills, the most important thing to shoot food is to highlight the theme and avoid clutter.

If the food on the plate is not full enough, you can put it in a triangle to make the picture more balanced.

6. If the color of food is complicated, the background should be simple, and white background is the safest choice.
