How middle-aged and elderly photographers shoot flowers well

How do novice photographers shoot flowers well?

1, do not shoot down.

When you walk in the field and see wild flowers, you will bend down to take pictures, so the photos you take will be very ordinary. Why? If you want to take a photo with visual impact, you must take it from an angle that we rarely look at every day. In other words, don't shoot down, but squat down and choose an angle that is level with them.

2. You can take good pictures of flowers with a zoom lens for two reasons: (1) You can often enlarge flowers to almost fill the whole picture; (2) The focal length of the zoom lens can be aimed at the flowers, not the background.

3. Use a macro lens to focus at close range.

The macro lens can reproduce the images of the subject and flowers at the ratio of 1: 1, which only the macro lens can do. The macro lens has a shallow depth of field. When you shoot a rose, the petals in front are very clear, and the petals in the back are naturally blurred. When using a macro lens, it is best to shoot with a tripod.

4. There are three ideal shooting times.

(1) cloudy and cloudy. After clouds cover the sun, the shadows are softer, and the bright colors of flowers will not be diluted by direct sunlight. So cloudy days are the favorite weather for flower photographers.

(2) Shortly after the rain. For flower photography, this is a very magical moment. At this time, there are still clouds in the sky and rain beads on the flowers. If you take pictures at this time, it will have amazing results. When you shoot with a macro lens, don't forget to take pictures of rain beads on leaves and stems, which can set off the color and delicacy of flowers.

(3) If shooting in sunny days, try to choose morning and dusk. In order to make full use of the light at this time, shoot with a long zoom lens, you should stand in the position of the flower backlight, so as to shoot a very magnificent background light.
