Spring photography knowledge

composition

Diagonal composition: This composition method is suitable for photographing flowers on branches.

Jiugongge composition: This is the most common composition method, highlighting the key points and leaving blank.

Central composition: this method is often used when shooting macro flowers.

Foreground composition: Because the distance between flowers is close, some flowers can be used as the foreground to enrich the picture.

light

Scattered light: There are clouds in the sky, just before sunrise or sunset. At this time, the light is soft and it is easy to shoot beautiful flowers. You should avoid shooting in strong direct light.

Side light: it will be reflected as side light after sunrise and sunset, and half bright and half dark light and shadow are more likely to produce dramatic effects.

Backlight: Backlight refers to the camera shooting at the sun, which can easily and clearly show the texture of flowers and leaves.

Auxiliary shooting tool

In order to add vitality and vigor to the flowers, you can take a small watering can with you and spray some water on the flowers.

blur

When shooting flowers, many people like to blur the background with a large aperture, which can simplify the picture and highlight the subject. But there are many ways to blur, not just the background.

Blur the background, make the foreground more prominent, and pay attention to the echo of the background.

Blur the foreground and show the distant scenery.

Blur the foreground and background, and embody the subject in the middle.

Don't ignore the environment

The spring scenery in the garden attracts many tourists. Everyone kept pressing the shutter on the flowers with their mobile phones and cameras. Many people see beautiful flowers, so they put their cameras and mobile phones together, regardless of the environment and composition.

Only see the beauty of flowers, but ignore the consideration of environment and composition.

In the process of shooting, we should always consider the overall situation, not just pay attention to a certain part, indicating that the environment is sometimes very important.

Take a single background as an example.

The easiest way is to use the sky as the background, like foggy days, which is easy to achieve this white background. There is really no other coup. It's too much trouble to use background cloth. In fact, it doesn't have to be black or white, but blue or other colors can also be used. A single background can make the picture simpler, and with good composition, the style of this photo is much higher.

The scenery in the water

Don't ignore the water environment in any shooting. Many times, the reflection in the water is also beautiful.

When I took this photo, I didn't notice the water surface at that time, and the picture was relatively ordinary. If I shoot the effect of the water, maybe it will be better.

Sometimes I want to photograph all the scenery on and under the water. This picture may be messy and can be simplified.

Take the picture in the water for example. If it is complicated, it can be simplified. Regarding the reflection shooting of water, it is necessary to lower the lens to form a good angle with the water surface, so that the reflection effect is good.

There were only two people left in the end. The simpler the picture, the more prominent the theme.

Common flower-shooting skills

1. Rape flower

When shooting a large rape field, to find the prominent subject in the picture, you can take a house or a tree as the subject in the picture.

You can also use lines to break the pattern of the whole picture composition.

Of course, it is also interesting to squat down and take a closer look at the bees on the rape flowers.

2. Peach blossom/cherry blossom

You can choose one or several branches to shoot peach blossoms/cherry blossoms, and one or several flowers can shoot close-ups. It is best to use side light or backlight.

Under the backlight, the veins of peach blossom are clearly visible, with beautiful shape and exquisite feeling.

In the side light, the peach blossom has a stronger texture and the best three-dimensional effect.

3. Mulan

Magnolia is characterized by large flowers. When composing a composition, you can let the flowers fill the picture and let the whole flower occupy the picture.

In addition to shooting blooming flowers, you can also shoot such budding flowers, but pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of flowers in the picture.
