Lotus shooting skills

Lotus is definitely an indispensable subject for travel shooting. If the lotus itself is photographed well, it can show its noble and elegant appearance. But if you don't shoot well, I think you know the lotus flowers of the older generation! The most important thing in lotus photography is an artistic conception! Today, I will explain to you the shooting skills of lotus flowers ~

1. Basic composition principle

First of all, according to the characteristics of lotus, the stem of lotus is very high. Therefore, it is suggested that vertical composition is more reasonable when shooting individual lotus flowers!

In order to capture the charm, you can also choose to use a long composition method similar to that in Chinese painting when shooting lotus flowers. The photos taken in this way are also very charming. I suggest that the picture should be as flat as possible!

The key to shooting lotus lies in "subtraction". Because the texture of the lotus itself is relatively simple, there are neither branches nor tendrils. So when shooting, the most important thing is to keep the whole picture clean and concise!

Lotus itself belongs to flowers and is very beautiful. In fact, its leaves are very beautiful. So make full use of the leaves for composition when shooting!

Taking leaves as the leading role, the artistic creation of flower arrangement.

2. Advanced writing skills

news

Just like the painting principle of traditional Chinese painting, there is also a blank space for taking pictures of lotus flowers.

When shooting lotus flowers, I am most afraid that the whole flower surface is lotus flowers. Full of lotus flowers, the theme and aesthetic center of the whole picture are not prominent! Spacious lotus pond will be more helpful to your composition!

inverted image

In addition, the lotus pond with water is the easiest to compose, and the beauty of reflection can be symmetrical, virtual or real, or rippling and sparkling, so there is spirituality when there is water.

3. The combination of reality and reality.

Virtual large aperture/telephoto

If you blur the picture, it will also help you to compose the picture to some extent. Generally choose telephoto or large aperture. The telephoto lens can be shot far or blurred to make the picture clean and highlight the theme.

Imagination can also create an atmosphere. An intriguing photographic work, in addition to a clear theme and dense composition, is also very important to create an atmosphere.

If there are water drops on the lotus leaf or lotus flower, shooting with telephoto lens and large aperture lens can produce good facula effect.

Please keep in mind during the filming.

A vague prospect can create a dreamy artistic conception. The blur of the background can highlight the subject.
