What are the shooting skills of lotus?

In addition to the common fuzzy background, making smoke, spraying dew and other methods.

What else can we do to make lotus work?

Is it noticeable?

Tip 1: Change the shooting angle.

It often makes us feel that photos are not bright enough, just because the shooting angle is too consistent with conventional vision. In fact, just changing the shooting angle will make the picture feel reasonable and unexpected.

Using a low-angle overhead shot can not only show the graceful posture of the lotus, but also make the whole picture concise and clear, which highlights the visual beauty of the main body of the lotus.

In addition to backhand, we might as well try backhand again to express the picture through vertical composition.

Using the angle of vertical overhead shooting from a high place, the lotus completely falls on the horizontal plane, making the picture look unfamiliar but reasonable, and the work is naturally more intriguing.

Tip 2: Grasp the use of light.

What is more difficult to control than color in photography is the use of light. When we shoot the lotus theme, if the light is used properly, we can also shoot very amazing works.

Using gentle and soft light can make the picture present a calm and peaceful beauty. It can also show the characteristics of lotus, which is "out of mud but not stained, clear but not demon".

Tip 3: Pay attention to the freehand brushwork of the picture.

Lotus is also a very popular theme in Chinese painting. Chinese painting pays attention to freehand brushwork, and the highest state is likeness rather than likeness, too kitsch rather than deceit.

The so-called freehand brushwork lies more in the choice of picture composition, a composition method with small as the big and simplification as the core.

When shooting lotus flowers, the simpler the picture, the more prominent the subject. It is better to shoot a big flower than a flower, and it is better to shoot a part of a flower.

Tip 4: Pay attention to contrast and contrast.

Contrast and contrast can make the picture more story-like. For example, size contrast, dynamic contrast and virtual reality contrast all convey the photographer's emotional expression through pictures.

When shooting lotus flowers, we often see dynamic elements such as dragonflies, birds and fish in the water, which can form a dynamic contrast with the lotus itself and make the picture more story-telling and interesting.
