We can't let God rain for you, but we can imitate God to rain Mao Mao on the lotus, so watering can is the most practical accessory! The hardware is briefly mentioned above, and the shooting skills are emphasized below. I. Selection and Highlighting of Theme Who can tell me how many lotuses there are in a lotus pond? Countless. Facing the lotus and lotus leaves in the pool, we can't shoot aimlessly, so choosing flowers is an extremely important step before shooting lotus. We should choose lotus from the aspects of distance, height, pattern and color. Photography is subtraction. It is particularly important to keep this important principle in mind at all times and highlight the theme. Pay attention to details such as petals and lotus leaves, and unexpected good pictures will often appear. Distance: according to the focal length of the lens used in shooting, first roughly judge the approximate distance of the lotus you need, and find the position of the lotus suitable for composition from the viewfinder. Height: the slender lotus is beautiful, but we should pay attention to the relationship between the plane position and the height of the lotus, and also pay attention to the environment. If the lotus background is a large sky after composition, it is easy to lose the sense of space. Pattern: The flower is blooming, partially open, completely open and withered. Lotus flowers in different periods have different aesthetic feelings, so we should grasp them flexibly and cooperate with the theme. Color: Lotus is rich in colors, such as red, pink, white and purple. , or with colored text and borders. For colors that deviate from the middle tone, such as Bai Lianhua, attention should be paid to the selection of metering methods and the application of exposure compensation. Second, choose a suitable time to shoot the lotus. Because the flowering period of lotus is long, there is enough time to shoot for you. Good weather will help you make a good film. In terms of time, according to my personal shooting experience, it is a good time to shoot lotus from 7: 00 to 10 every morning. At this time, the light is soft, and the lotus is in a very good state. In wet weather, dewdrops will still be hung on the lotus leaves, making the photos more vivid. Near noon, the lotus will gradually gather in the scorching sun, and it will be difficult to find the blooming lotus in the afternoon. It's ten o'clock in the evening, and the lotus reflecting the sunset is also a beautiful theme. For colors that deviate from the middle tone, such as Bai Lianhua, attention should be paid to the selection of metering methods and the application of exposure compensation. It is usually appropriate to add 1 exposure after measuring the white petals by spot photometry. Third, the skills of shooting lotus flowers. I suggest you bring a watering can, which can be used here. Use a fog watering can to form small water droplets on lotus and lotus leaves, which increases the vitality of photos. In general, it is easy to achieve satisfactory results on flower bones and lotus leaves. It should be noted that the petals of lotus flowers are light after flowering, and excessive water spraying may lead to changes in flower patterns and affect the final effect. Dragonflies, bees and other insects can often be seen flying around the lotus pond. Rest on the bud when you are tired. You can give more consideration to these small roles in your composition. Using the combination of insects and lotus flowers to compose a composition will be a vivid work. Fourth, the conclusion can be viewed from a distance and cannot be ridiculed. Lotus has been known as a "gentleman in flowers" since ancient times. For photographers, lotus is an eternal theme. Shooting lotus flowers is in the midsummer season, and the shooting location is often near the humid and sultry pond. Photography lovers should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and bring more drinking water. Be sure to tighten the hood and other accessories before shooting to avoid falling into the water. There are many thunderstorms in summer, so we should pay special attention to lightning protection while preventing rain.
