How to shoot cherry blossoms well? Cherry blossom photography skills

In the annual cherry blossom season, many people who like to take pictures took down their cameras and recorded this wonderful moment. However, some people are still very upset. Cherry blossoms are not as beautiful as others. Let's share with you the skills of shooting cherry blossoms, which will make you feel fruitful.

Shooting equipment

When shooting flowers, equipment should remember three key words: large aperture, telephoto and macro.

"Macro" is used to take close-ups of flowers, which can show the details of flowers well.

"telephoto" can not only blur the background, but also effectively cut the background, thus simplifying the picture.

"Large aperture" can blur the background well, thus simplifying the picture.

In addition, using large aperture to create shallow depth of field or macro shooting can create clear stamens and hazy dreamy background effects.

Parameter setting

There is nothing to talk about on the parameters. Basically, you use the "aperture priority" mode, and then manually control the aperture size to shoot. There are just two points that everyone needs to pay attention to.

white balance

There is no problem with the automatic white balance of cherry blossom shooting, and the effect is good. However, you can try to adjust the white balance manually to make cherry blossoms have different effects.

Exposure compensation

If the cherry blossom photos taken by everyone are dark, you can appropriately increase the exposure compensation. Especially when shooting cherry blossoms in backlight, cherry blossoms tend to darken. At this time, you can add a little exposure compensation, even if the background is slightly overexposed.

Shooting skill

compose

The composition of flowers must be as simple as possible, not too messy, otherwise the texture of flowers will not be shown.

Everyone should try to keep the picture simple and choose a relatively clean background. If not, turn up the aperture or get close to the blurred background.

Control the actual situation.

Although the background should be blurred, it is not enough to blur too much.
