How to shoot butterflies to look good, and what shooting skills are there?

Butterflies are beautiful insects. There are thousands of butterflies in the world, so the photographer's topic selection field is almost infinite. Butterfly wings usually have an unusually bright color or a combination of many colors. In order to shoot butterflies, you need the right equipment and great patience.

First, zoom to show details. Butterflies are very small, so in order to show their beauty to the maximum without losing a detail, you need a macro lens or macro mode zoom. A lens with a focal length of 100 mm is suitable for outdoor shooting. Mount the camera on a tripod and use a large aperture (F.

/2.8-f/5.6) The background is blurred.

Second, take creative photos. For example, a butterfly falls on your friend. Please don't miss this moment. To catch a butterfly in someone's hand, you can use a macro lens or even a standard lens. Use f/

5.6 Aperture can keep the background blurred and make the details of the lens clear.

Mm) to achieve maximum similarity. Use manual settings, because autofocus is usually not enough to shoot butterflies quickly, and use a tripod to fix the camera. Don't miss the moment when the butterfly falls on the flower.

Take a close-up of the butterfly.

The background color is harmonious and natural with the color of butterfly wings, which also sets off the texture and aesthetic feeling of butterfly wings.

Take pictures of butterfly movements. The premise is to find the flower that the butterfly likes and aim the camera at this area. Use a large aperture (f/2.8-f/

5.6) and a short shutter speed (for example,11600 seconds). If possible, use continuous shooting, because the movement of butterflies is often unpredictable. Take as many photos as possible, so that you can delete the dissatisfied photos.

If you want to take a picture of butterflies in the room, please use a box with air holes. Carefully bring the butterfly into the room. When shooting, you can use studio lighting or natural light. A butterfly on a white background. Use a macro lens and F.
