How to shoot peach blossoms?

Seven ways to shoot a peach blossom:

1. Shoot a panoramic view of a peach garden

If you are shooting in a peach garden and the surrounding natural environment is beautiful, we might as well take a photo of Zhang Quanjing, choose a good angle, reasonably combine the peach garden, the surrounding countryside and the distant hills, use a wide-angle lens to shoot, and narrow the aperture when shooting, for example, F11 and F16.

2. Just shoot a peach blossom

Shooting flowers is a close-up technique that we often use. When we are at a loss in the face of a dazzling peach garden, we might as well look for a peach blossom with beautiful shape and full flower shape to shoot, and shoot it with a large aperture spot metering, so that we can easily avoid the messy environment and shoot a special portrait of the peach blossom with accurate exposure and blurred background.

3. Shooting flowers and bones

We often shoot flowers that are in full bloom, but if we shoot more flowers like this, the audience will feel aesthetic fatigue. We might as well shoot flowers and bones that are not in full bloom, which will definitely give people a refreshing visual experience. We can choose a branch that has both a big bud that is ready to come out and a small bud that has just sprouted, and then spray water drops on it to open the aperture.

4. macro shooting

if you have a macro lens in hand, you might as well shoot the macro peach blossom, which is so familiar and common in our usual perspective, but if we use the macro lens to shoot the peach blossom, it will give the audience a completely different understanding, and the macro theme can give the audience endless novelty.

5. Portrait shooting of peach blossoms

It is also very beautiful to shoot portraits with peach blossoms as the foil. When shooting composition, we can take peach blossoms as the foreground, the model as the middle scene, and a large peach garden as the background. Then, we will open the aperture, and the lens will be close to the peach blossoms in the foreground, and the focus will fall on the model's face, so that the petals in the foreground will be blurred into dreamy pink, and the background will be blurred to a certain extent, so that it will not look messy.

6. Shoot the petals

When the peach blossoms are in the withering period, we can play a different game. When shooting portraits or landscapes, we might as well collect the petals that have fallen to the ground and throw them upward when shooting, thus forming a peach blossom rain, which is very beautiful.

7. Take a black background

When we take a close-up of the peach blossom, we can also take a black background, so that the peach blossom looks advanced. We can find a dark background first, and then choose a suitable peach blossom to shoot. When shooting, we can open the aperture, use spot metering to measure the peach blossom, and then press the shutter. If the background is not dark enough, we can reduce the exposure compensation by 1-2 files, and the background can be completely darkened.

Of course, we can also use a black background cloth or use a flash to darken the black background.
