How to shoot plum blossoms?

Let's talk about the shooting skills of plum blossoms:

First, the shooting equipment

Equipment here, the focus is on lens selection. Generally speaking, macro lenses, 50mm, 24-70 mm, 70-200 mm and so on can be shot. Macro lens can shoot the details of plum blossom very well, with higher definition, and 70-200mm is much more handy.

Second, the parameter setting

There are two key parameters in parameter setting, one is aperture size and the other is exposure compensation.

① Aperture setting

The most direct and effective way to shoot flowers is to shoot with a large aperture. First, it can blur the background and avoid the interference of the background to the subject, thus effectively highlighting the subject. Second, you can get a very dreamy effect, and the whole picture looks very beautiful.

But when using a large aperture, we should pay attention to two points. First, the relationship between prospect and background. Don't mix the foreground with the background. Second, the flowers, because the focus of the depth of the scene is easy to be inaccurate, so we must focus well.

② exposure compensation setting

If you shoot flowers in a snow scene, you should pay attention to exposure compensation. Because the brightness of the snow scene is very high, the photo taken without adjusting the exposure compensation is gray. Only by increasing exposure compensation will the photo shine.

Third, composition

In fact, flower composition is not difficult, and there is not much to talk about. If you are not a master photographer and don't have enough control over the picture, then I suggest you "simplify the complex". That is to say, try to be simple, shoot a flower, shoot a flower and so on. And don't shoot it all at once.

Fourth, shooting skills

Let's talk briefly about shooting skills, because this thing really has no shooting routine. There are only a few common routines, so it is good to know.

Plum blossoms bloom in the snow, which has the integrity of not competing with flowers, so it is very important to capture the artistic conception of plum blossoms. There are three ways to capture the artistic conception of plum blossom. One is based on ancient buildings, such as temples, ancient towns, stone lions and other elements. If there are ancient buildings with plum blossoms, make good use of them.
