How was the dewdrop shoot? Recommendation of dew shooting skills

Everything in nature is beautiful. There are wild flowers passing by the roadside, little yellow and little green dotted the scenery along the road, and occasionally there are trees and animals playing around, with a touch of color. The beauty of a trip is not a known must-see scenery, but an unknown surprise. When we see these beautiful scenery, we can't wait to keep them in our hearts, but what should we do? Today, Bian Xiao will introduce some dewdrops that we often meet on this trip. How should we shoot them?

1. How to shoot it clearly?

Macro shooting requires high focusing, and because water droplets are very small, it is necessary to set manual focusing and spot metering, and turn on continuous shooting mode, so that it is not easy to lose focus and it is easier to capture wonderful moments.

Generally speaking, when the light is good, the shutter speed is above 1/500 seconds, the sensitivity is around F2.8~F7 and 100, and the background is blurred enough to shoot clear water droplets.

Therefore, the requirements for equipment are not high, and the mobile phone can shoot. It is best to use a macro lens, and you can use a flash to fill the light.

2. Pay attention to the shape of water droplets.

If you want to shoot beautiful water droplets, circles are very important. If you adjust the size of the water drops on the petals, you should control the breathing frequency and start slowly and gently.

Not ideal. The shape of the water drop is perfect. It is recommended not to condescend to shoot. Keep level with the water drop or look up, and the petals will have an immersive visual sense.

The shape of the water drop on the top view is not beautiful, but the shape of the water drop on the top view will reflect the flowers in the dew, and the shape will be more beautiful. Just put a flower on the back of the dew and adjust the distance to shoot.

3. Reflect the texture with light and shadow

Backlight and side backlight can highlight crystal clear water droplets, so half an hour after the sun comes out in the morning is the best time to shoot dew.

When shooting, if there are many point light sources in the background, such as many crystal dewdrops, you can blur them into beautiful spots with backlight.

Soft scattered light can make water droplets appear natural light, so avoid using strong light, dew will lose its three-dimensional sense and brightness.

4. Tone and form.

Dark background is easy to produce effect, making dewdrops more textured.

Brightening is a bit difficult, and the contrast between light and shadow is needed to produce the effect.

5. Fantasy background is very important.

In order to make dewdrops beautiful, background considerations are very important. Besides flowers, if you have an idea, you can use the background to make the picture more interesting and rich.

The texture of dew is reflected by the color and the light spot effect of backlight, and the background of this light spot is more attractive than the water drop itself.

Master the appropriate focal length and aperture size, so that the background blur has a rich hierarchical effect.

Mastering these skills, I believe you can also grasp the fleeting beauty of these trips. Go and have a try!
