Photographic plant description

Flowers are a common photographic subject in life. There are all kinds of flowers all year round, and flowers often make people feel comfortable. Taking more photos of flowers will add a little color to life. Today, let's share how to take a good photo of flowers with your mobile phone.

First, choose the best lens.

The flowers we see are often not one, but a cluster or even a piece. Learn to restrain yourself at this time. Too much greed is often bad, or the background is messy or dull. We should observe first to see which cluster or flower is the best, and then take this as the main body to shoot.

Second, don't shoot in strong light.

In the backlight and strong light environment, the light source metering picture will be dark, the flowers will be unclear, the flower metering picture will be bright and the picture will be overexposed. We can adjust the position of the mobile phone around the subject and choose to shoot under positive light or side light.

Third, the subject is prominent and the background is simple.

Any excellent photo must follow this principle, so that people can understand what the subject is at a glance. We can choose the ground, wall, water and sky as the background to achieve the purpose of concise background; If it is not possible, you can use large aperture mode to achieve shallow depth of field effect; If there is no large aperture mode, you can also choose portrait mode to turn off beauty; If there is no portrait mode, let flowers occupy most of the picture.

Fourth, use flowers as foreground or ornament.

This way of shooting is not simply to shoot flowers, but to integrate flowers into the picture as part of it, and the picture becomes more pleasing to the eye under the embellishment of flowers.

Fifth, the combination of static and dynamic.

Flowers are static, so we can add some moving elements to the picture to make it more vivid and interesting. Such as bees, small insects, portraits and so on. This needs a little snapshot technology, just try it a few times.

Sixth, solid color background.

If the background is really messy and you can't see it, you can use the text+mask function in snapseed to make a solid background, which is a common method in the late flower stage. (If you can't, you can search in Tencent's video tutorial "How to make any stereoscopic background photos with snapseed")

Pure black background

Seven, no color flowers.

Try to adjust the photo to a black-and-white effect, which can hide unwanted elements and have a different flavor.

Eight, late special effects.

There are too many games in the later period, and all kinds of special effects can be tried, such as ink painting, Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor painting, abstract painting effect, making dresses with flowers and so on. As long as the brain hole is big enough, there is nothing wrong with it.
