How to shoot azaleas

Rhododendron is bigger than plum blossom and smaller than chrysanthemum, peony and lotus. The means to control the depth of field is probably mainly to control the aperture when the light selected by the lens is normal. The aperture is too large, so it is difficult to take a clear picture of the whole. With an aperture like F8, it is difficult to highlight the theme. In three-dimensional space, you need to carefully control the depth of field and focus manually. If you rely on autofocus at this time, it will basically only help, and it is difficult to make a suitable film.

2. light

The colors of azaleas are very bright. If the incident angle of light is not well selected, a large spot will appear, with no details and no changes. Too positive light will cause reflection and color deviation, which is difficult to correct later. Backlight can make flowers more transparent and can be used reasonably. As a set of movies, the key point is to use light from different directions to create changeable color changes and enrich the content diversity of the whole movie. In the choice of equipment, I personally think that 135 stf is a good lens, which is not only feminine in Jiao Wai, but also very resilient to color details. The focal length of 135 is also beneficial to capture the individuals in the flowers, because there are too many azaleas, so it is difficult to get close with a 35mm lens.

Step 3 equip

The 50mm and 100mm macro lenses are very sharp and are ideal flower lenses. The reason for choosing a lens with excellent resolution is that it can not only take pictures in a general way, but also form a pseudo-macro effect after safe cutting in the later stage. It will be more difficult to show the details and texture of flowers if you change to a temperament-only lens with less qualifications.

Step 4 write a composition

In fact, the most troublesome thing to shoot cuckoo is composition, because the flowers are too dense and messy, it is difficult to find the angle, and sometimes it is not suitable to find a good angle and light. Personally, I feel that Rhododendron is not suitable for shooting alone. In fact, compared with duckweed, chrysanthemum and other flowers with beautiful overall shape, azalea still pays more attention to color and texture, which is not suitable for expressing the shape of flowers alone. I found a maverick flower blooming in an instant. There is no cuckoo temperament in the picture. She is just a cluster of flowers, which turns sour when manipulated into daffodils.
