How to shoot macro flowers

A flower is shot on the screen in a certain proportion, usually in a large proportion, which leads to the first question: whether to focus on the flower heart or petals depends on what you want to express and how the scene feels. Some people blur the outer petals of a flower to show macro, causing visual interference.

2. Background

A, try to find a background that can set off your shooting target, such as light-colored flowers, and try to find a dark green foliage as the background, because if the background colors are very similar, even if you shoot it, the theme will not pop out;

B, try to find some targets with a certain distance from the background, otherwise the background will not be blurred no matter how big the aperture is;

C, pay attention to the distance between flowers (that is, the density of flowers), if the flowers are very close, the flowers outside the focus will almost become color blocks, which will also have an impact on the perception.

D, if you can't make the distance bigger, you'd better choose a higher flower as the target, so that you can blur the background with a large aperture.

Avoid shaking

When shooting at macro, even a little shaking of the camera will greatly affect the effect, especially with close-ups or rangefinders. In order to ensure the quality, it is best to use a tripod; When using a tripod, please pay attention to the strength of pressing the shutter button, and don't be too rude-this needs more practice. If it is still too strong, there is another trick: take a selfie or use a cable. If the target is shaking because of the wind, there is a simple method: tie a 30 mm phoenix tail clip to each end of a 4-pound transparent fishing line and make two pairs. When in use, you can clamp the target with a phoenix tail clip, and the other end can clamp anything fixed (or press it with stones), which can solve the problem of general small wind. Strong wind? Then change the theme and take a picture of "seeing cattle and sheep at the grass" (see yourself), which is more appropriate.

Looking for a shooting angle

Why do some people shoot the same flower very well, while others shoot it just so so? In addition to a series of parameters, there is also an angle problem. How to express the beauty of flowers is a summary in many aspects, including aesthetics, experience, opinions and so on.
