Expanding reading: peach blossom photography skills

1, pay attention to the weather and choose the flowering period.

The flowering time of peach blossoms is related to the weather. The flowering period is normal in warm weather and delayed in cold weather. The flowering period is usually three weeks. When shooting, only the buds are not suitable, and there are no blooming flowers. It is best to choose a state where both buds are in bud and partially in full bloom. It is generally best to shoot at 9 ~ 10 on a sunny morning.

2. Seek the "posture" of peach blossom.

Taking pictures of peach blossoms is also flower photography. Photographers should not rush for success, but pay attention to observation and look for favorite peach blossoms from a large area. Look at its branches and modeling characteristics, shoot selectively through ideas, and achieve perfection in composition and lighting. Peach blossom, like people, has its "expression" and "posture". Just like shooting people, we must pay attention to the different "expressions" and "postures" of peach blossoms in order to make the works lifelike.

Peach blossoms are generally white and pink, and grow on both sides of streets and parks. The trunk is not too high and easy to shoot. The stamens of peach blossom are very long, which is the most attractive place of peach blossom and also the "expression" of peach blossom. Be sure to pay attention to performance when shooting. Peach blossoms are often single-flowered, heavy-flowered, multi-flowered and clustered on the branches. These different "postures" can be seen in the mirror. When the peach blossom is in full bloom, the direction of the flower core is multi-angle, so it doesn't matter which direction the flower core faces when shooting a single peach blossom. When shooting two peach blossoms back to back, you should choose the opposite one and the opposite one before and after. When shooting multiple, clustered peach blossoms, you must find the one you think is the best and use other flowers as a foil.

3. Utilization prospect

Foreground and background can explain the time and season in photographic art creation, and make the picture feel spatial, especially the rural scenery. Through the photographer's idea, the beauty of spring can be photographed and enjoyed beautifully.

4. Spring outing can take pictures of people.

Peach blossom season is also a good time for people to have a spring outing, and it is also a good choice to take pictures of people with peach blossoms. Now the branches of peach trees are relatively short, so when composing music, we should pay attention to the characters' heads away from the trunk, otherwise the characters will be covered with trunks and peach blossoms, which will make people uncomfortable. Also consider the contrast of colors. Characters should not wear red clothes to avoid highlighting the main body.

5. Draw lessons from Chinese painting in composition.

Chinese painting, flower-and-bird photography and flower photography are similar in composition. Both of them pay attention to simplifying complexity, alternating density, contrasting reality with reality, and distinguishing primary and secondary, but their expressions are different and can be used for reference. In traditional Chinese painting, the old branches of peach trees are often represented by rough and withered pens, and the flowers at far and near levels are depicted in shades; Photography can be used to compare reality with reality. The old trunk can be real, the peach blossom can be empty, and its background can be treated with a single color to create a gorgeous atmosphere.

6. Side backlight should be used for lighting.

It is best to shoot peach blossoms with side backlight. Because the color of peach blossoms photographed by forward light and scattered light is unchanged and dull, while the side backlight can show the hierarchical texture of peach blossoms, peach blossoms will become more gorgeous, but choose a darker monochrome background.

7. Composition and focus

The composition of a single peach blossom should avoid monotony, and there should be buds, leaf buds or branches next to the flowers as a foil. Shoot two peach blossoms with their backs open. Focus on the composition and pay attention to the foil. When shooting multiple peach blossoms in groups, avoid being steady and full in composition, and leave a certain space. This is the same as painting Chinese painting, which should be virtual and real, sparse and dense. Whether you shoot a single peach blossom or a bunch of open peach blossoms, you should focus on the stamens of the peach blossom you want to show.

8. Exposure compensation

When shooting white peach blossoms, do 0.5EV plus exposure compensation; When shooting pink peach blossoms, do not make exposure compensation or do 0.5EV minus exposure compensation. Because the color of peach blossom is very light, if the background color is also very light, it is difficult to highlight the peach blossom you want to express. Therefore, when shooting, lining a blackboard behind the peach blossom will make the flowers more eye-catching and the stamens clearer. In addition, because the background of the picture is black, post-processing will become easier. If it is not convenient to draw a line on the blackboard after the flower, you can use image processing software for post-processing.
