Tips for shooting cherry blossom composition+framing

Everyone knows that cherry blossoms are beautiful, and they fill the garden as soon as they open. Everyone wants to take pictures and keep that magnificent scene forever, which is inevitable. The tourist photos of people and flowers are still only the scenery photos of cherry blossoms, which is so beautiful. However, ordinary shooting methods are inevitably dull and cannot stand out from many beautiful photos of cherry blossoms. Bian Xiao will teach you how to shoot cherry blossoms today.

Shooting skills Shooting skills include lens selection, lighting, composition and precautions.

1, lens selection

First, you can photograph the details of a single cherry blossom. Choosing a macro lens can show the details of cherry blossoms, such as texture and stamens. If there are water drops on the petals, the effect will be better.

Secondly, the telephoto lens can appropriately enlarge and reduce the cherry blossoms, effectively cutting out the messy background. In addition, the blur effect of telephoto lens will make cherry blossoms more prominent.

Finally, there is a large aperture lens, which brings a soft background blur effect and makes the cherry blossoms more beautiful. At the same time, the large aperture brings more light, which also makes it more possible for us to shoot cherry blossoms.

2. Lighting selection

There are forward light and backward light for shooting cherry blossoms.

(1) Guang Shun

Sunlight is the main light for shooting, and the characteristics of cherry blossoms are recorded in detail. When we shoot cherry blossoms with a black background, cherry blossoms with a blue sky as the background, details of cherry blossoms, portraits of cherry blossoms, etc. We mainly shoot with smooth light.

(2) Backlight

Backlighting can better show the details and texture features of flowers, and the light and shadow effect is better, but it is not suitable for backlighting cherry blossoms because of fear of death and big scenes.

Regarding the composition 1, avoid writing "full"

The blooming cherry blossoms will inevitably make the picture lose focus, and it will tend to be dull without the owner. In a large scene full of cherry blossoms, there must be a finishing touch or a proper blank space. The combination of primary and secondary composition is more likely to highlight the lush cherry blossoms because of the contrast effect.

1, to avoid a large number of tourists pouring into the site.

Unless you are a photojournalist shooting a live report of the Cherry Blossom Festival, the most important thing when shooting cherry blossom scenes is not to let a large number of tourists become the characters in your photos. Try to choose a place with a clean and concise background. If people can't escape, backhand is a good way to compensate.

2. Avoid looking far away.

As the saying goes, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain", so we Shang Huashi people should be in the sea of flowers, but we should try to stay away from the sea of flowers when shooting big scenes.

3. Don't take flowers blindly.

In addition to taking pictures of cherry blossoms, we sometimes need to find some background that can reflect the environment at that time, explain the background of the venue or add charm to the photos. For example, the corner of the antique cornice behind the cherry blossoms, or the hazy beauty figure behind the cherry blossoms, can be the finishing touch of a photo.
