How to shoot cherry blossoms well?

When shooting flowers, we remember three key words in equipment: large aperture and telephoto.

Because the configuration of "large aperture+telephoto" is really practical in shooting flowers and plants. The hazy feeling created by telephoto+large aperture is very beautiful. In addition, telephoto can make flowers look more layered and textured.

Second, control the actual situation.

A lot of fuzzy backgrounds and close-ups of flowers are not bad, but this relationship between reality and reality does not show the characteristics of cherry blossoms. Because the cherry blossoms are big, big, and a bunch of flowers are next to each other, this close-up is not good-looking.

In order to make the flowers look better, you can leave white space appropriately to make the picture look more empty and prevent the flowers from occupying the whole picture.

If you feel that simply shooting cherry blossoms is too monotonous, you can try to add some elements to the picture, such as buildings, cars, pedestrians and so on. Let these elements match with cherry blossoms and make the notes of cherry blossoms richer and fuller.

Third, properly brighten the picture.

It is suggested that you increase the exposure compensation appropriately to brighten the picture, even if some places are slightly overexposed. The texture of the petals looks much better after the picture is brightened.

Fourth, inquire in advance.

When you want to shoot, you must check the route, flowering period, peak flow of people and so on. In advance so as not to miss it. Cherry blossoms bloom early here in Yunnan, and shooting cherry blossoms in other places may have to wait until late March or early April. If you find it in advance, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
