Digital photography skills of flowers and plants

Just as love and life are important eternal themes in literary creation, flowers are also eternal themes in photography, because flowers are an important part of this beautiful world. Friends who like photography will have different degrees of interest in flowers. In particular, friends with digital cameras should study flower photography seriously, because the imaging principle of digital cameras is different from that of film cameras, and better results can be achieved only when shooting medium scenes and close-ups. So flowers should be the main theme of digital camera shooting.

On Digital Flower Photography —— About Four Elements

So, what conditions and factors must a good flower painting have? I think at least there should be attractive themes, perfect lighting, simple composition and harmonious colors. These four elements not only exist independently, but also blend with each other to support a work together. When you shoot flowers, whether you can master and handle these four elements well is the key to success.

Talking about Digital Flower Photography —— About the Theme

Photography is often associated with famous mountains and rivers and tourism. It seems that you can't produce good works without famous mountains and rivers unless you are in a foreign country. In fact, as Rodin said, "Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery." This is especially true for friends who like flower photography. As long as you carefully observe the flowers and plants around you, you will find endless themes around you. Last year, the first snow here began at midnight. How can we show that this is the first snow? The next morning, I walked with Nikon 990 and thought about it. I carefully observed the houses, branches, bridges and streams. Suddenly I found some bright flowers with white snow hanging on them, which looked more charming and gorgeous, just like a girl wearing a wedding dress for the first time. Without thinking about anything else, I took out the battery at one breath.

When you shoot flowers, you should highlight the most attractive places through lighting, composition, tone contrast and depth of field control. The minimum requirement is to shoot the best part clearly. The most touching part of this little flower is the stamen. In order to highlight the performance, I used a manual close-up, the focal length was set to 2CM, and the aperture was minimized to ensure the maximum depth of field. It's difficult to photograph such flowers clearly. First, the manual focusing distance is difficult to grasp. If you see the focus clearly on the LCD, it may not be clear. Second, this kind of small flower is generally low, so it is not convenient to use a tripod. Third, the moment you press the shutter, you can't have any trouble. There is no better way, only repeated shooting. I have taken this photo for at least 30 times. My legs are sore and my back hurts, and I am sweating all over. If it is a film camera, it is too expensive to shoot like this.
