How to shoot flowers to look better?

It is hard for a photographer who sees beautiful flowers in the park to resist the temptation to take pictures. This kind of beauty is not eternal, so it is worth enduring in photos. The most important thing is to make it correct and beautiful. But what should we do? How to shoot flowers in nature, so that you can not only take beautiful photos, but also take beautiful masterpieces? Today we will reveal all the secrets of flower photography.

Where to start?

First of all, the photographer must choose good photographic equipment, which he will use when taking flowers. Of course, you can choose a simple digital camera with macro shooting mode, but if you shoot professionally, you'd better choose a SLR camera with a good zoom lens. It is not ideal and convenient to use a high aperture lens with a fixed focal length in flower photography. It will be difficult for a photographer with this lens to take close-ups of flowers.

To take pictures of the garden, you can use a wide-angle lens. It gives a very beautiful picture, but it distorts the normal perspective. In some cases, it can be regarded as an interesting effect, and these technologies are skillfully used instead of defects.

Selection of background Many photographers immediately switch their cameras to macro mode after seeing beautiful flowers, and start shooting objects of interest endlessly from different angles. This is the wrong behavior of most novice photographers. First, you need to evaluate the light and the overall situation and look at the flowers from the other side. If you shoot from the lowest angle, it may be good to look at the general flower background or blue sky.

There is no need to shoot your favorite flowers in automatic mode. It is best to switch the camera to semi-automatic "aperture priority" mode, so that you can control the depth of field of the image regardless of the shutter speed setting, because

Considering the general light of the subject, the camera will choose by itself. If the photographer wants to take close-up photos of flowers to blur the background, he needs to maximize the aperture, that is, set its minimum value (from f 1.2 to f5.6).

If you don't want to shoot from the photographer's height in the same way, the flowers growing in the glade will look completely different. On the contrary, from the height of the flowers.

In this case, you can focus on the foreground and background when shooting. Only in this case is it necessary to remember the horizon. It should not be stacked on the side or in the center of the frame.

Shooting flowers in bright sunlight during the day may lead to overexposure and lens glare. Therefore, at this time of the day, photographers only need to have a hood or ultraviolet filter to prevent the negative influence of the sun's rays. If the photographer doesn't have one accessory or another when shooting, he needs to wait for the sun to hide behind the clouds before starting shooting. In cloudless weather in Wan Li, the photographer had no choice but to switch the camera to manual mode and close the aperture to f 14.

-f 18 and make the shutter speed faster, about1100-1160 seconds.

Photography In the process of flower photography, please use a tripod or hand-held camera so that it will not shake and blur the image.

The built-in flash should be turned off, because its strong light will destroy the whole photo. But you can use an external flash, especially on cloudy days, but you can only put a reflector on it.

When shooting flowers, the photographer should ensure that his shadow does not fall on the subject and pay attention to the white balance, because he is responsible for the rationality of color. It is not difficult to adjust the white balance. Depending on the situation, it is sufficient to switch it from the automatic mode to one of the modes provided by the camera. For example, in sunny weather, you should choose the mode of "direct sunlight" and choose the mode of "cloudy day" or "shadow" on cloudy day.
