How to shoot with blur

Lead: In order to deal with the complex parts of the picture and highlight the main body, blurring is often mentioned. However, in order to get higher quality works, we should go further, that is, pay attention to what kind of blurring should be done.

How to blur the reflected light of leaves and the sunlight passing through trees into a circle by blur shooting?

Soften the bright background

When I find beautiful flowers without scars, I will immediately consider what kind of background to use, because the photo contains both the subject and the background. Therefore, only by combining the beautiful subject with the beautiful background can the level of photographic works be greatly improved.

There are several types of fuzziness. The most important thing is circular blur, which can be obtained by blurring lights and other point light sources. But what we want to introduce here is not artificial point light source, but the blur of natural light source, the gap between leaves, the gap between trees and the sparkling water surface. If you reduce the aperture, the circular blur will have edges and corners, so open the aperture. In addition, the brightness and tone of the background are also important. In the scene where the subject and background are different in light and dark, if you choose to expose the subject as the center, the bright background will be overexposed and become a high-tone photo. For example, if the flower is blurred, the whole picture will be covered by the color of the flower, and the color will be gorgeous. In addition, it can be blurred before and after focusing, and the blur between the subject and the lens is called foreground blur. In scene 4, foreground blur is added to the trunk, which blurs and hides clear straight lines. Skillfully use this skill.

Use the brightness difference between the subject and the background to increase the brightness of the whole picture.

Obtaining Soft Works by Blurring Foreground

I was very excited when I started to take a close-up of flowers, but the camera blurred as soon as it got close to the background, so I always took the whole picture full. Later, with the increase of shooting times, I got tired of this ordinary and slow, and began to pull back the camera and blend the background into the picture. Of course, if the attention range increases, the difficulty will also increase, but if fuzzy can be used properly, the surrounding environment of flowers will be presented. Pay special attention to close-up photography? Subject charm+expressive force of fuzzy background? .
