How to take pictures of flowers and plants

1. The photo should have a theme. Only by choosing the right theme and highlighting the theme can we express the theme of the photo. We know that a good article should have a clear theme, and an article without a good theme is an infectious and meaningless narrative. The theme of the article depends on the theme described in the article, that is, specific things or people to express clearly, which requires the theme in the article to be prominent. Taking pictures is like writing an article. The photos taken should have a theme, highlight the main body in the photos and express the theme. That's the way to shoot flowers. For example, in order to express the beautiful and vivid theme of flowers, we should choose flowers with beautiful shapes, different postures and different verve as the main body, supplemented by corresponding branches and leaves as a foil to form a beautiful picture. If necessary, if possible, you can do some gardening pruning and cut off the dead branches and leaves that hinder the main body, so as to make the image more beautiful and the main body more prominent. Only by highlighting the theme can the theme be better expressed.

2. Be good at using composition to highlight the main body of flowers.

It can be said that the composition of the photo is the packaging of the main body. Good composition is good packaging, which can make the subject stand out, attractive, attractive, artistic and even touching people's hearts. When shooting, before composition, you should first choose the subject and partner, and then compose the subject and partner. The subject is the main scene that shows the theme of the photo. The foil is a "supporting role" set that sets off the main body. For example, when shooting flowers, flowers are the main body, and other scenes, such as branches and leaves around flowers, are foil.

In order to highlight the main body, there are many composition methods, among which the most basic composition is the nine-square grid method, which is the main method of the golden section method, as shown in figure 1. Draw the left and right vertical lines ab and cd and the upper and lower horizontal lines ef and gh according to 1/3. The intersection of four straight lines in the figure is 1, 2, 3 and 4 grid points. Because these four straight lines divide the picture into nine equal squares, it is called Jiugongge. When shooting, only when the subject scene is placed in the vertical or horizontal position of the best grid point 1, 2, 3, 4 or straight lines ab, cd, ef, gh, can the subject in the photo stand out and have the best expressive force. Jiugongge method is the basis of photo composition. No matter what other composition methods are used, except symmetrical composition, other composition methods must be combined with nine-grid method to achieve the best composition.
