How to shoot tulips?

Tulips are one of the most frequently photographed flowers because of their bright colors and beautiful shapes. Tulips are mostly planted in pieces, so whether shooting a single small scene or shooting a big scene, there will be many shooting effects. It is best to shoot tulips with a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens.

Shoot a tulip or a bunch of tulips

Blur the foreground and background with a small depth of field: Tulips are usually planted in pieces, so it is necessary to separate them from a large cluster of flowers to shoot a single tulip. Shooting with a large aperture or a long focal length will produce a small depth of field effect and blur the foreground and background. You can highlight a tulip to make the subject stand out.

Shooting with a telephoto lens can create a small depth of field and blur the foreground and background, which can make one or several flowers stand out.

Find a single flower: Generally, at the edge of a flower cluster, there are several tulips alone in one place. Shooting such a single flower can highlight a subject instead of shooting a tulip, which can make the picture more concise.

Shooting up creates a special perspective: it is not easy to get good results when shooting tulips from a conventional perspective. Lowering the shooting angle and taking the sky as the background can not only obtain a novel shooting angle, but also make the picture more concise and colorful. Wide-angle lens for backhand.

Shooting from the upside-down angle, with the sky as the background, the perspective is more novel, the color is richer and the picture is more concise.

Shoot big tulips.

Match tulips of different colors: There are different varieties of tulips, and tulips of different colors are generally planted at intervals. In photographic composition, tulips with different colors form stripes or color blocks to form a composition, which can show the aesthetic feeling of color contrast.

Even shot: Even shot composition is to put the elements in the picture evenly and dispersedly. These elements are preferably the same or similar, so that the composition can give people a uniform pattern-like feeling. Shoot tulip flowers of the same color in a scattered composition.

Looking for light and shadow among the flowers: it is best to shoot tulips on sunny days, and the light is better after 3 pm. Find tulips with special light-shaped effects to shoot. For example, a part of a large flower cluster is illuminated by backlight or side backlight, and such light is an excellent shooting object.

Combine tulips of different colors to form a composition, and use color contrast to represent flowers.

The scattered composition presents flowers of the same color, and the picture is balanced and stable.

Looking for flowers with partial illumination, backlight shooting can have excellent light and shadow effects.
