How to shoot magnolia

The shooting methods and techniques of Magnolia are as follows:

1 equipment

Wide-angle: Take a wide-angle shot of the whole environment, focusing on the arrangement of color blocks, making good use of large areas of powder, white and purple blocks and matching them with dark blocks such as buildings and trees to show the beauty of the big environment.

Wide angle, suitable for shooting large scenes with environment.

It can also be used as a macro lens to show the details of flowers, suitable for shooting magnolia flowers that are not too high or fall to the ground.

Macro photography shows the details of flowers.

Telephoto: Magnolia is generally higher. Whether shooting a single flower or a lush flower group, you need a telephoto lens with a large focal length, which is convenient for choosing framing and composition from all angles. At this time, the aperture size of the lens is not the most important, because the telephoto lens and shooting distance are enough for you to shoot a beautiful blurred background.

Use telephoto to effectively blur the background and subtract the messy background.

But be careful to bring a tripod if necessary to avoid shaking the picture.

Step 2 use light flexibly

As we all know, photography is painting with light. For such a brightly colored theme as Magnolia, the use of light is the key factor in creating personalized works. Try to shoot when the sun just comes out or the sun is about to set. At this time, the light is soft and can form a good light and shadow effect. When taking pictures of flowers in metropolis, they choose side light, back light or scattered light on cloudy days in the morning and evening, and taking pictures of magnolia is no exception.

Side light: Side light is one of the lights often used in photography, which is very helpful for shaping the layering of the picture and the three-dimensional sense of the object, and is very suitable for shooting Magnolia.
