1. Camera setting: multi-purpose aperture priority mode; Spot metering; Large aperture shooting or medium aperture shooting; Coke segment, mainly long coke, supplemented by other coke segments; Low sensitivity.

2. Shooting time: usually from 6 am to 10, when the light is soft and the lotus is in full bloom.

3. Shooting angle: shoot up, shoot down as new, and shoot flat as true. Normal photographers usually shoot from a head-up angle. At this time, the lotus flower is similar to that observed by human eyes, and the original effect is better, but it is very mediocre. At this time, you can try to shoot up and down, which may make your eyes shine.

4. Light: Most of them are taken against the light. Lotus or lotus leaf is illuminated by light, and the pulse is clear and bright, which is very beautiful. As a novice, you must try to shoot against the light. Spot metering can be used to measure the main body of lotus, and exposure compensation can be carried out under special circumstances.

5. Common manipulation (1): combination of deficiency and excess. One virtual reality is one of the commonly used techniques in photography, which can shoot lotus flowers with virtual background and clear subject. Usually, large aperture and telephoto lens are used.

6. Common tip (2): The background darkens. Highlighting the subject with sharp contrast is also suitable for lotus shooting, especially in scenes with large contrast, highlighting the subject by lowering the background, which is often called black background at home. When shooting, find a scene with a big contrast. For example, the lotus is in the sun (bright place) and the background is in the shadow (dark place). At this time, shoot with the lotus as the exposure benchmark. If the background is not dark enough, you can further deepen the background by increasing the contrast later.

7. Common skills (3): Waiting for the rabbit. Photography is the art of subtraction and addition. When you feel that the distance between the lotus flowers you shot is too rigid, you can wait for the intrusion of foreign objects when constructing the picture. Such as bees, dragonflies, waterfowl, etc. , will add a lot of color to your work.

8. Common techniques (4): Close-up. When you felt that your photographic composition was not artistic yesterday, you can take close-ups and let the stamens directly fill the flower surface, especially when shooting with a macro lens. This effect will be more obvious. Just try it. Especially when shooting at close range, the depth of field is small. Generally speaking, you need to shoot with a small aperture above F8 and use a tripod. If there is no tripod, you can increase the shutter speed by increasing ISO, so as to ensure that the close-up picture is clear.

9. Common techniques (5): occlusion method. Shooting the lotus through the gap of the lotus leaf will be blurred because the lotus leaf is close to the hand, which will purify the foreground and make the main body more prominent while shielding other sundries. In real shooting, if there is no lotus leaf in front of the camera, you can pull the nearby lotus leaf to cover it in front of the camera to complete the shooting.

10. Advanced technique (1): multiple exposures to shoot lotus flowers. The technique of multiple exposure is also particularly effective in shooting lotus flowers. Here, Bian Xiao introduces you to a new "multiple exposure" technology. We know that in the conventional multiple exposure, if you take the first photo successfully, but the second photo fails, the whole shooting process will fail, but the method of camera post-synthesis is different, that is, taking two (multiple) photos and post-synthesis (which can be realized directly with the camera), so you can take two more photos and choose two of them for synthesis.
