How to take pictures of plants

Taking good-looking photos of plants is more about grasping the state and light of plants than relying on post-filters. After all, the first thing to ensure when taking photos of plants is to truly present the state and color of plants.

You should always observe your plant and know when it blooms, how long it lasts and when it is in its best state. Knowing this, you can take the right photos at the right time.

The first is the accuracy of white balance. For example:

The following two running sun gear were shot in the sun and in the shade respectively. Under different lighting conditions, it is necessary to adjust the white balance setting of the camera to truly restore the plant color. Mobile phones generally have automatic white balance, which is sometimes inaccurate. It's easy to take pictures of plants under light, so it's better to take pictures of plants under natural light during the day.

The second technical detail is the depth of field of the photo. For succulents with more details, we usually choose deeper depth of field, so we put forward higher requirements for light intensity. Corresponding to the depth of field is the choice of focusing. Generally speaking, it is recommended to take the stamens as the main ones when shooting flowers. When you shoot flowers, you can try different backgrounds and choose your favorite effect.
