Photography skills of Chunhua

First, pay attention to artistic conception.

Need flowers? Product? In particular, we should consider the uniqueness of each flower and choose the best shooting angle according to the ambient light at that time.

For example, the charm of peach blossoms comes from temperament. Sometimes a single flower may not look good, but together, it feels completely different. In addition, if red flowers are matched with green leaves, then peach blossoms must be matched with delicate and vigorous branches to bear fruit.

Second, vision and imagination.

There are two points in learning photography, one is eyesight, and the other is imagination.

Practice your eyesight. If you want to be one-eyed, poisonous and big-eyed, you must have a pursuit of beauty and a unique appreciation eye, and integrate into the world of flowers and flowers. To cultivate your eyesight, you need to find the beauty that does not exist in others' eyes when others are scrambling to catch up. When you look carefully, you will find that there are so many beautiful scenery around you, and such a spiritual life is smiling kindly at your concern. When you face a smiling life, you will think that I can still feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn and what to do and how to do it.

Practice imagination. Shooting flowers requires originality, contrast and imagination. We should pay attention to the accumulation of basic common sense, be good at skillfully combining and separating the whole from the part, master the basic skills such as hierarchical structure, far and near light and shade, positive and negative side-to-side, virtual and real density, exaggeration and restraint, highlight the theme and make full use of the imagination space. For example, when shooting flowers, the first film can be spread out as a whole, leaving an unforgettable overall concept, showing its perfect overall posture, then showing different vivid sides, and then shooting its most moving local features that are not clear to the naked eye. In this way, a beautiful flower can usually create a group of films through the gradual process from far and near, from whole to zero, from coarse to fine, from large to small. If this part is done well, it will reduce the process of post-production, modification and cutting, and try to maintain the natural style of the original photo. Don't pin your hopes on post-processing. If you can't do it well in the early stage, you will be out of breath and distorted in the later stage.

Third, the handling of the background.

Background processing is an important factor to determine the quality of flower photography. Background, in flower photography composition, plays the role of foil and foil theme, and it is particularly important to take color photos. Background is not the main object in the picture, but it occupies a large area in the picture. The simpler the composition of flowers, the larger the area of comrades in the background, which is a factor that can not be ignored in flower photography.

There are many ways to deal with the background, which are mainly divided into two categories.

The first is to use natural conditions to select the background and use local materials. Natural scenery, such as sky, ground, grassland, lake, forest, etc. , you can choose as the background. For example, take a close-up with lotus as the theme, the background can be varied, and the blue sky can be used as the background for back shooting. Upward shot can take the reflection of water as the background, and flat shot or oblique shot can set the lotus leaf as the background. If the lotus is pushed far to the middle scene, with lotus leaves and lakes and mountains as the background, the result will be different.

The second is artificial background arrangement, which can use colored paper or colored cloth to set off the background of flowers. But the purity and brightness of the background color should not be too high. Generally speaking, the color should not be too fresh or too light, and the relationship between the background color tone and the main flower color tone is better with contrast color and similar color. Generally, the background color is dark, and sometimes it can be treated with light color and high tone according to the needs of the effect, but it should contain more gray, otherwise the background color will be too dazzling, which will destroy the integration of the subject and the picture.

Four, flower close-up technology

Close-up is one of the important and necessary techniques in flower photography. Technically speaking, it is a close-range shooting method, which can make the subjects gather closer than the standard lens and make the image bigger.

Ordinary flowers are only a few centimeters big. It is not easy to get an ideal composition and picture with the standard lens of an ordinary camera, because the general standard lens can only focus at 0.6 meters recently, but the composition and flower size are moderate.

The close-up method is to attach devices to the standard lens or replace other lenses. Usually, people will add extra lenses to the standard lenses. Under the condition of not replacing the standard lens, the following methods can be used for close-up.

A close-up lens (bust lens) is installed in front of the standard lens, which shortens the distance between objects. There are usually 1 and 2 specifications for shooting close-ups, which can be selected as required or used at the same time.

Another method is to add a connector and a leather cavity or rangefinder between the camera body and the standard lens. After installation, the distance between the lens and the negative becomes longer, the distance between the subject and the lens becomes shorter, and the imaging magnification increases. Secondly, there are other close-up methods. That's the standard lens for changing cameras. The close-up lens has a medium focal length and a long focal length (preferably with macro). Using these different methods for close-range shooting can achieve the expected ideal effect.
