What are the skills of flower photography (2)

4. Polarizer makes the color of flowers more pure.

Polarizers are often used in landscape photography, which can reduce and eliminate the strong reflection of non-metallic surfaces, thus reducing the contrast of the picture and making the picture effect more ideal. In flower photography, the use of polarizer can not only reduce the influence of the surrounding environment on the picture, but also reduce the contrast of the picture, making the color of flowers more natural and pure.

Cloudy days highlight the rich colors of flowers.

The light on cloudy days is darker than that on sunny days. In flower photography, we should not only master the light accurately, but also adopt the best composition method according to the needs of shooting. Soft light on cloudy days helps to express the color of flowers, but it is not suitable for capturing large scenes, otherwise it will make the sky look gloomy.

The use of scattered light on cloudy days can make flowers more layered, in sharp contrast with green leaves, enhance the contrast of the picture and make flowers more colorful.

5. Smooth light makes flowers full of color.

Shun-light shooting means that the irradiation direction of light is consistent with the shooting direction of the camera. The photos taken under the light are flat and soft, which can highlight the color of the picture, but the photos taken under the light have a weak three-dimensional sense.

6. Side backlight enhances the three-dimensional sense of flowers.

The subject illuminated by the side backlight has a strong stereoscopic effect, which not only enriches the tone of the picture, but also vividly presents the form of the subject in the picture. Using side backlight in flower photography can not only show the stereoscopic effect of flowers, but also show the translucent effect of petals.

7. Adjust the exposure compensation to restore the true color.

When shooting flowers, if the proportion of flowers in the picture is not large, is it possible to have a built-in metering system? Not bright enough? The light and shade of the background will have a great influence on the exposure, that is, the metering point can not be completely concentrated on the flowers, but is interfered by the light and shade of the background.

Dark background can easily lead to overexposure of flowers, while light background can easily lead to underexposure of flowers. Therefore, in the actual shooting process, the exposure of dark background needs to be reduced appropriately, and the exposure of bright background needs to be increased appropriately.
