How to shoot flowers to look better?

Every novice photographer usually takes flowers for the first time. Why? This is because the flowers are bright in color and clear in texture, and it is easy to take "good-looking photos". Although flower photography is relatively simple, the same flower photography will not be too boring, so how to take a unique flower photo?

1. What lens is used to shoot flowers? Using a wide-angle lens can add more background to a photo. Many details will not be taken, but it can make the photos interesting and look real. This kind of lens is suitable for shooting flower beds or fields, and the photos taken will have a sense of rhythm and vitality.

Choosing a 50 mm lens or telephoto lens requires preparation. This kind of focusing is suitable for portrait shooting. The flowers look bigger and the details are more obvious. Pay attention to composition, because close-ups may not be that interesting.

Second, the role of lighting in photography When you only have a telephoto lens, you can try to put your shooting position behind the flower so that the bud will light up. Some blooming petals will form a very beautiful pattern outline.

Another good way to shoot is to look up from the bottom of the flower. The blue sky is in sharp contrast with the flowers. If there are clouds in the sky, it will increase the drama of the picture.

If you shoot without the sun, you may only get an outline, so shoot a flower from the front with a flash or reflector.

Third, choose the right shooting angle. If you look up and shoot flowers, the effect of flowers will usually be good. Many novice photographers often forget that it is very important to change the position and choose the right position when shooting.

When shooting flowers from below, you can see and easily capture unusual shapes and unconventional angles. When taking pictures, crawling on the ground and changing the position of the camera means-from another angle, a flower that people will not observe in their daily lives.

Photos clearly show that the texture or color of petals is conveyed from an unusual angle. Take a partial photo of a flower. Let the petals serve as the background of the core. The closer you shoot, the more abstract the image becomes. Finally, you can even show only lines or colors.

If you shoot some objects, you will get a completely different image from the mirror image you saw at first, which means that you can not only show the creative method, but also show the unique perspective of the whole flower photo.

Fourth, with a suitable photographic background If your zoom lens can only open the aperture at f/4.0 or f/5.6, please set this value to 50 mm or 70 mm, and in order to take beautiful photos, please try to keep the flowers in the background. You should be close to the theme, and the flowers in the background are about 90- 150 cm.

With f/ 1.4 aperture, f/2.0, f/2.8, you can get a scattered view, which makes the image look a little surreal and makes the flowers fuller.

Using a large aperture when shooting flowers will produce a good soft (blurred) background effect.

Fifth, show the petal texture and take pictures when the sun is below the horizon. Can provide more texture effects for petals. The best shooting time is called "prime time". You can even use the timer tool to calculate the best shooting time in your area.

6. The color of the illuminated flower depends on the illuminated light. If soft diffuse light is used, the color and texture of petals will be more subtle, more eye-catching and the photos will be more artistic.

Any photographer with a certain level will avoid shooting in the noon light. When the direct light of the sun shines directly on the object, it will eliminate the texture and shadow on the petals and all the details.

Take pictures in the morning when the sun rises to the horizon or sets. You will see beautiful warm colors on the flowers. Soft light emphasizes the depth of the image, clearly tracks the details and makes the image more perfect.
