Matters needing attention in shooting lotus flowers in summer

1, I think simplicity should be the most noteworthy place. Beginners often make the mistake of thinking that the picture is full of objects instead of just taking a few pictures. They don't understand that the camera can record "everything" in the field of view of the lens, while the human eye is selective. Usually, the eyes are only interested in some special aspects of the scene, and their attention will focus on which part of the scene the eyes attach importance to, thus ignoring some small things. Once a photo is taken, these unnoticed small parts are presented together with other important parts, so as to dilute or even destroy the overall artistic effect of the photo.

Therefore, when we face a theme, we must first ask ourselves: how can we separate it from the surrounding environment and distractions? How can I extract the visual beauty that attracts me to take pictures? First of all, we should "clean up the scene" (this word is a metaphor and a fact), and then start taking pictures and finish them as well as possible according to the conditions. The telescopic fishing rod, one of the auxiliary equipment for lotus patting, has such a function. It can clear the picture by cleaning up the sundries in the lotus pond, but remember not to damage the lotus or lotus leaf. When we can't get close to the subject or don't want to get close to the subject, we can use the narrow angle of the telephoto lens to clean up the useless things in the picture.

2. When shooting lotus flowers, you should master the scale of exposure and concealment. It can not only fully show the whole picture of the lotus flower, but also show its graceful charm, and can properly block it from the lotus leaf, showing another implicit artistic conception of shame.

3. Be patient when shooting lotus flowers. "ChuYang dry Su Yu leaves. The water is clear and round, and the wind and the load are lifted one by one. When the breeze passes, the lotus leaves turn over, and the lotus fragrance is refreshing. Between the lotus leaves in the field, lotus flowers seem to have spirituality, just like the dancing fairy Ling Bo, chic and elegant. It is often windy in the lotus pond, which is not a good thing for shooting, so be patient, first find the scene to be shot roughly, then quickly compose the composition when the wind is small, accurately focus on metering, and then shoot. When shooting lotus flowers, dragonflies often stand on budding buds or rolled lotus leaves, which can be used as the main body of shooting to explore. Don't worry if the dragonfly flies away after approaching. Generally, dragonflies have the habit of staying repeatedly. Use this time to focus well and adjust the aperture shutter value, and the dragonfly will fly back soon.

4. Make full use of the function of the camera to create a unique effect. The following work is an example of using multiple exposure function, and shooting is divided into two steps. Set the camera to the double exposure position, accurately focus and take the underexposed photos of 1/2EV first, and then take the underexposed photos of 1/2EV, and this dreamlike hazy effect can be produced without manually focusing properly to blur the focus. In addition, the push-pull zoom in the process of long exposure can produce explosive effect, and the infrared photography function of some digital cameras can also be tried by film friends.
