Pay attention to three levels when shooting plum blossoms.

The first level of beauty is to seek the elegant charm of plum blossoms.

The plum blossom created by nature is beautiful and charming, and its fragrance is intoxicating. This requires us to find flowers that can be photographed in various ways, so that the photographed flowers are more beautiful than in reality. Plum blossom colors are pure white, light green, reddish and sprinkled with gold. When shooting, we should show the dignified beauty through the color, pattern, petals, calyx and opening and closing of flowers. The branches of plum blossom play a special role in shooting, and are an inseparable part of showing plum blossom temperament, which is more important than other flowers in shooting composition.

The second level of beauty is to discover the humanistic charm of plum blossom.

There is a close relationship between people and flowers, and flowers have become the carrier of people's spiritual world to some extent. When shooting flowers, especially plum blossoms, we should pay attention to finding and choosing the shapes and colors that can best express the meaning of flowers, so as to arouse people's yearning for flowers. To show the elegance and nobility of plum blossom, one often chooses to take a picture, strives for novelty in material selection and angle, and pays attention to absorbing the nutrition of plum blossom poems in past dynasties as its conception. In order to show the prosperous atmosphere of plum blossom, we can choose the middle scene and the distant view from a wide range, and show a beautiful impact with flowers and trees. Frost and snow play a special role in showing that plum blossoms are not afraid of cold. The natural combination of frost, ice, snow and butterfly-like beautiful flowers shows the strong and unyielding spirit of plum blossoms in early spring when they wither. Therefore, people who shoot plum blossoms are always looking forward to Xue Mei's opportunity to compete for spring, and shoot the heroic "Red plum does not yield, and the storm is built".

The third level of beauty is the beauty of light.

When shooting flowers, we should pay attention to its natural beauty and humanistic beauty endowed by people. But this is not enough. The beauty of nature and humanity can only fully show the brilliance and beauty of plum blossom under proper light. If painting plum blossoms depends on the pen and pigment in the painter's hand, then photography mainly depends on the use of light, and light and shadow are the pen and color in the photographer's hand. To capture the natural beauty of plum blossom, we must choose good light, observe the direction of light and find the best shooting angle. Plum blossoms are suitable for shooting with many types of light, and the effect of each light is different. Side light is beneficial to show the delicate texture and dense three-dimensional sense of plum blossom; Backlight can simply outline the shape and outline of plum blossom, resulting in a transparent effect; The side backlight makes plum blossom have an artistic sense of strong and weak contrast; However, smooth light is suitable for clearly expressing the shape and color of plum blossoms. In the use of fairing, we should pay attention to the selection of branches with distinctive colors and levels to avoid the boredom that fairing may bring. When backlight and side backlight are used, the front and side of plum blossom are often underexposed, so it is necessary to use reflector or flash to make up the light properly.

We should combine these three levels to make natural beauty, humanistic beauty and light beauty blend naturally. When shooting, you need to control the background. Backlight and side backlight can deepen the background of the photo, make the beautiful outline more vivid, and even make the branches looming before and after the dark background, and flowers emerge on the dark background. The background should be adapted to local conditions, make full use of the environment, make use of the shadows of trees, green vegetation or an illusory plum blossom. As for the foreground, you can use the fuzzy natural color blocks of nearby plum blossoms, and the vigorous branches as the foreground also have a different artistic conception.
