How to take photos of Sophora japonica

Generally speaking, you should pay attention to the following three points when taking flowers:

1) Choose a photography angle with good light.

2) Adjust the focal length accurately.

3) In order to prevent underexposure, exposure correction function can be used to increase exposure.

Sophora japonica itself is white, and it is not easy to show texture and three-dimensional sense. In order to express the layering and three-dimensional sense of petals, it is better to shoot with backlight or semi-backlight than with positive light. Because the petals or green leaves with thin texture can be photographed with semi-backlight to emphasize the brightness of their colors. But at this time, the built-in exposure meter of the camera may be affected by the backlight, resulting in underexposure. In order to show the color and brightness of flowers, it is best to use a little exposure than normal exposure, but absolutely avoid underexposure. Since a little overexposure doesn't matter, it's better to adjust the exposure correction to +2/3EV when shooting. Especially flowers with high reflectivity, such as white flowers and yellow flowers, are easy to be underexposed, so we should pay more attention to them.

In order to show the color of Sophora japonica, it is necessary to shoot against the light to determine the position of the camera. In order to shoot the sky as the background, the lens should be shot upwards. In order to prevent underexposure, exposure+1/2EV correction is selected.
