Should we use double exposure, or slow door and shaking to shoot the fairy scent of lotus flowers?

It should be said that double exposure and slow door shaking are effective ways to add a sense of fantasy to the picture. In addition, adding sloshing to the slow door is also a good way to add motion to the picture.

1, let's review the multiple exposures first. "Multiple exposure is a technical method in photography, using two or more independent exposures and then overlapping them to form a photo." In layman's terms, it is to take two or more photos and then superimpose them into 1, such as the flowers and fog in the picture below.

Divided into the following common ways of playing: doppelganger, ghost, overlapping.

Thanks to various black technologies in SLR and mobile phones, it is not difficult to take a photo with multiple exposures. Although multiple exposures can get dazzling effects, it does not mean that you can expose them indiscriminately. If you want to master multiple exposures, you must first have solid basic skills, and then try from shallow to deep. Please refer to the above spring flower shooting and try multiple exposures. It is fun and creative.

2. Let's talk about slow door and pan first, that is, shooting with a low-speed shutter and shaking the camera to make the picture dynamic.

▲ Slow door+translation increases the dynamic beauty of the picture.

Shooting method: The shutter speed is usually not too fast, 1/4s and 1/8s are good choices, and the aperture is generally set to F32-F22. First, aim at a flower cluster, measure light evenly, and reduce the exposure 1 (to make the background brightness darker). Hold down the camera and shake it quickly, while pressing the shutter. When shooting, you can shake left and right, up and down or in the same direction according to your composition needs.

▲ Simulate the "zoom" effect

Of course, Lotus also has many special shooting techniques, such as macro, folding lens+multiple exposure, rotating focus, local color, tonal creativity, adding seals, characters and other elements in the later stage to achieve Chinese style.

However, it should be noted that if the skills are used properly, it will achieve the purpose of catching people's eyes and expressing the theme perfectly; But if we simply "skill for skill's sake", we will usurp the role of the master and lose the proper value of the skill itself.
