How to shoot flowers

Remember these 9 omnipotent flower-shooting skills and shoot wild flowers on the roadside casually! Bad scenes can also make big movies.

They all take pictures of flowers. Why can't we take pictures of beautiful flowers in the same scene?

This tutorial introduces 9 common flower shooting techniques to help you shoot large flowers anytime, anywhere, even in bad scenes. The following is a detailed introduction to you with specific related diagrams:

General skill one, invasive composition:

Let's talk about composition and flower composition. We have learned a lot, such as center composition, triangle composition, diagonal composition, 1/3 composition, golden node composition and so on. But the best composition for taking flowers is to extend the composition.

Highlight the composition: let flowers or branches insert into the photo, but there are still some points:

Don't reach out to the camera from above, because it is more "eye-catching" and gives people an uncomfortable feeling. It's best to reach into the middle of the photo from four corners, so it looks more harmonious and beautiful.

Universal skill 2, the combination of reality and reality:

When we shoot flowers, we should combine reality with reality. Only when there is truth and falsehood can there be a master and a second time, and the photos will be focused and not empty.

There are several points in shooting true and false:

(1) When using equipment, you can use a large aperture lens or a telephoto end of a long focal length lens.

(2) Mobile phone shooting should be in portrait mode. Click on the screen, and you should keep the flowers clear. Outside this flower, they will become blurred.

(3) At the same time, note that if you want to blur the background, the background should be far enough away from the main flowers in the foreground.

Through blurring, the bad scenery is diluted and the main flower is strengthened.

Universal skill three, let the subject have characteristics:

The subject has its own characteristics, including the following:

(1) The color of the main body is different from that of the environment: for example, the main body is blue flowers with dark green background, and the main body is purple flowers with dark green branches and leaves.

(2) The overall color of the photo is less than or equal to three: because more than three photos will appear messy. If there is a flower in the background with the same color as the main flower, we should find an angle to keep the flower in the background away from the main flower and dilute its color.

Universal skills four, dynamic and static combination:

We often combine some small animals or insects, such as bees, dragonflies, butterflies, birds and so on. When setting the parameters of shooting dynamic animals, we should pay attention to adjusting the shutter speed to11000 seconds or more, so as to ensure that dynamic animals and insects will be clearer and will not be burnt. This photo of flowers and bees uses the technology of thematic features, combining motion and static.

Investment in study will pay off one day, which is less than the price of a meal. It is worthwhile to learn a skill that makes life better!

Universal skill five, shoot the details:

This technique is especially suitable for shooting when the scene is not good. When the environment of flowers is chaotic, then we don't take the environment away when shooting, just shoot flowers.
