What are the shooting techniques of lavender?

When shooting lavender, the display of color is one of our common compositions. Here are some shooting techniques of lavender that I have compiled for your reference.

Shooting skills of lavender

1, telephoto lens shooting

Lavender has few "flower buds" and many branches, so it is not suitable for shooting a close-up of a flower. If the photographer is not sure about the composition, he can use a telephoto lens to make the composition relatively simple through blurring. Although lavender is mostly presented in the form of a sea of flowers, it can make the main body stand out and the texture is obvious in this way. However, it should be noted that lavender should not be the main body. It is best to have some lavender in the foreground and background to avoid visual monotony. Try to avoid Ping She, otherwise the background will be too messy by the sky, flowers and land. Of course, the camera's built-in "soft light" filter can achieve a hazy soft focus effect. It can soften the focus. At this time, it is best to choose a larger subject, the effect will be more natural, and it can also prevent others from thinking that this is "out of focus."

2, the choice of color

When shooting lavender flowers, the overall tone of the picture is mostly purple. If the picture is all purple, it will not achieve the best effect, and it will not be as amazing as we thought. We should actively look for colors around lavender fields, such as blue sky, sunflower sea in Huang Cancan, green shrubs and other solid colors with high saturation, and highlight purple with contrast. It is best to adjust the color style of the camera to a "bright" or "vivid" style, which can make the color more vivid.

3. Use lines to guide the focus of the picture.

Because lavender planting is mostly ridge, which is very regular. We can make full use of these lines to guide the viewer's attention to the points of interest we want to highlight. The photographer's face is facing the lavender grass, so that the lines of the grass converge on the horizon in the distance. Such as sunset, trees, wooden houses, pavilions, etc. It is also a prop that we should make full use of. With the main body, the picture is more complete and finds a "foothold" for the line of sight.

4. Avoid too many color elements

In addition, lavender plants belong to long inflorescences, so it is best to use a large aperture to distinguish the subject from the background. You can avoid the same image and different feelings.

5. Restore the true "purple" later.

A large area of purple lavender will affect the camera's judgment of white balance. If you use automatic white balance, the whole photo will be blue. So we need to use "color balance" in Photoshop to simply adjust the color * * * Press Ctrl+B to bring up the color balance tool. Select Shadow and pull the slider to yellow. Reduce the influence of inaccurate white balance. Select "Midtone" and pull the slider to magenta to make purple more prominent and stereoscopic.

Shooting skills of lavender wedding photos

First, adjust the exposure.

This is the first one and the key to taking lavender wedding photos. You need to take a correctly exposed photo and calculate the position of a flower you need to highlight; Then, we set the camera to manual focus and blur the surrounding environment to shoot! After the second exposure, the main body of the picture will stand out and feel artistic. This time, we chose to shoot in the early morning when there was mist. The fog formed a line in the distance and crossed the whole horizon. In order to make the light of the close-range and the long-range in this scene with relatively large light more uniform, we adopt the central key metering.

Second, color.

The light proportion of lavender wedding photos affects the contrast, detail level and color effect of portrait photography. When the light is small, there is little difference in brightness between the bright side and the shadow side of the subject, and the contrast of hue is small, which makes it easier to show the rich levels and colors of the bright side and the shadow of the subject. For example, the light ratio is too small, the color tone is too dull, and the three-dimensional effect is weak. When the light is large, the contrast between the bright side and the dark side of the subject is large, and the color tone is hard, so it is difficult to take into account the colors of the bright side and the dark side of the subject, and the level of detail will be lost.

Third, reduce the angle.

Aimansha wedding photography tells you the actions and skills of taking lavender wedding photos! Being close to some lavender plants and lowering your shooting angle will be one of the simple ways to make a movie; Usually we can turn on the "macro shooting" mode of the camera; When shooting, bring in some sunshine to make the picture present a fresh atmosphere; Finally, choose the color you want.

Fourth, use the focus position

The shape of the grassland is very good, so we can shoot at the same height as the field to better show its line direction. Of course, when using macro mode, be sure to determine your focus position, and the points with clear front, middle and distant views will have different feelings!

Matters needing attention in lavender wedding photos

A lavender manor is generally in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is far away. Friends with stomach problems need to pay attention.

Take wedding photos in summer, the weather is very hot, so pay attention to sun protection and thirst prevention.

Third, reduce drinking water the night before taking pictures to avoid eye edema.

The bride should avoid sunbathing and eat less fried food before taking photos.

On the day of the photo shoot, the bride should wear a skin color and bring a pair of high heels and comfortable flat shoes for the photo shoot.
