Example of lighting schematic diagram

Use two desk lamps as light sources, one in the front light and the other in the back light, to shoot the flowers we want to shoot. Put a piece of white paper in front of each desk lamp to make soft paper, or you can choose sulfuric acid paper, the effect will be better. Pay attention to the brightness of two desk lamps. If it can be adjusted, adjust the light of the main backlight to be stronger than that of the backlight desk lamp. If the brightness of the desk lamp cannot be adjusted, the distance of the desk lamp can be adjusted to achieve the desired effect. The desk lamp that hits the front of the flower should let the light shine directly on the petals and stamens, which will show the texture of the flower.

Large aperture, shallow depth of field, hazy color.

Using the works shot by F2.8, we can see that the pink petals in the background have been completely blurred into a fuzzy pink photography course.

When shooting flowers locally, in order to make the color feel more rich and hazy, you can choose to use large aperture and shallow depth of field to blur the background. It is best to use tripod and cable release, because the depth of field of this macro work is relatively shallow, and even a little displacement will lead to the shift of focus. If you don't have a tripod, you can use a stable bean bag or other items that can stabilize the camera; If there is no cable release, you can shoot with a selfie timer.

Selection of blank space

Clever blank space makes the picture very constructive.

The composition is too full and I feel very crowded.

When shooting such works as flowers, leave the works blank, and the picture will feel better. We can put the flowers on one side of the picture, so that one corner of the picture is just cut at the stamen of the flower, so that the flowers will appear in the picture in a fan shape, and the blank space on the other side will make the picture feel more.
