Don't underestimate rape blossoms. Taking good photos is very technical. Not only photography skills, but also composition and framing skills.

Grasp the best opportunity to shoot rape flowers.

Rape flower, belonging to Cruciferae, is planted in a large area in the south, and now it is cultivated in many places for sightseeing. Just look at the flower shape, it's not very nice, but what about the scale? A large area, forming a yellow ocean, the spring breeze gathers and the waves roll, which is spectacular. If rape flowers grow in distinctive places, such as Wuyuan village in Jiangxi province, with classical Huizhou architecture as the background, rape flowers will be more humanistic.

The flowering period of rape is very long, usually about one or two months. When it first blooms, light yellow and light green are intertwined, which is very fresh; When it is in full bloom, it is golden yellow and very brilliant; Usually, you can consult local flowers and grasp the shooting opportunity. Morning and afternoon are the better shooting time of the day, when the light is softer and the colors are brighter.

Grasp the big scene from a wide angle

The most exciting thing is to see a large ocean of rape flowers. At this time, you can take a big scene into the picture with a wide-angle lens. At this time, you need a telephoto lens or a large aperture lens to shoot with a large aperture. General? Between f3.5 and f5.6, in the face of a large golden yellow, the photos taken by the photos tend to lack a sense of hierarchy. At this time, the composition of wide-angle photography is particularly important. In addition to the traditional' three-point composition', you can try different composition techniques. Attention should be paid to the change of morphology in composition, so that rape flowers are dense and neat and avoid monotony.

The background can be a large rape flower, or some characteristic buildings and people are blurred as the background, but be careful not to overlap the colors to distinguish the foreground subject from the background. You can also find some foil as the background, such as distinctive buildings and flowing bridges, which will make the photos more humanistic.

Composition, try to make the picture form rich and diverse, combined with various characteristic backgrounds, showing a harmonious, wonderful and layered effect. According to the conventional shooting method, the rape flowers are shot clearly and the background is blurred. On the other hand, the background is clear and the rape flowers are blurred, which makes the picture embellished with gold and has different feelings.

Aperture shutter combination skills: large scene with small aperture, F8 ~ F 16, wide angle between 24-35mm; Close-up with large aperture, between f 3.5 and f 5.6, telephoto is preferred. If the light is insufficient, try to use a tripod. Clear focus is a very important basic skill.

Shooting skills: use small aperture and slow door. If the light is not enough and there is a little wind, some flowers will be blurred and some flowers will be clear. If there is still some fog in the distance, it will be even colder.

Macro lens close-up

The flower shape of rape is not beautiful, which is not suitable for close-up. However, it is also very effective if there are bees and the like as a foil. If you want to take a macro lens, use a macro lens and tripod if necessary. If the lens is close to the subject, the aperture should be above F8 to avoid too shallow depth of field.

When shooting, you can choose sunny weather to get faster shutter speed and improve the success rate of shooting. It should be mentioned that it is best to use manual focusing to shoot bees, which is convenient to capture the moment when bees fly, and it should be dexterous. Photometric skills: rape flowers are brightly colored, so it is more appropriate to use spot measurement or center focusing. It is best to follow the principle of adding white and subtracting black, and add two exposures to take accurate photos. Attention should be paid to avoid large light contrast.

Introduction to photography:

1. When to use wide angle?

In general, if you want to shoot a big scene and accommodate more details, you should use a wide-angle lens and set a small aperture above F8 to ensure the details are clear. A wide-angle lens generally refers to a camera below 135? A lens with a focal length of 50mm and a lens with a focal length less than 24mm are called super wide angle, which is suitable for shooting large scenes and has a wide range of pictures. At the same time, wide angle also belongs to zoom lens, which refers to a lens with variable focal length. Such as 24~70 lens, indicating that the focal length of the lens can be changed from 24mm to 70 mm.

2. How to use macros?

Use a macro lens as close to the subject as possible. In order to maintain stability, it is best to use a tripod to keep the photographed object stable. Macro lens is a kind of lens that can focus very close to the subject, and the size of the image formed by macro lens on film is almost equal to the real size of the subject itself.

3. Under what circumstances do you use telephoto?

When you want to zoom in on the distant picture to take a close-up of the subject and blur the background, you can achieve the goal by using telephoto and large aperture. A telephoto lens refers to a telephoto lens with a focal length of more than 80 mm. This kind of lens is suitable for shooting distant pictures at close range, and is often used to shoot portraits or close-ups.
