What are the photography techniques for photographing flowers and plants?

1. Choose the right weather

The choice of weather is also very important for shooting flowers and plants. It is recommended not to choose cloudy days for shooting. It is best to choose sunny days to shoot flowers and plants. The color and texture are great. The second is rain. Rain can bring out the oily feel of flowers and plants, and combined with rain, the charm of nature can be even more apparent.

2. Use good light and shadow to create a three-dimensional sense

To shoot a three-dimensional sense of flowers and plants, the main thing is to use good light and shadow, observe the light-receiving surface and the illuminated surface, and choose the appropriate angle. Take photos of flowers and plants with a three-dimensional effect.

3. Metering must be accurate

Metering is very important, especially when we take pictures of flowers. Many times we take close-ups, which are easily overexposed and the flowers we take are not. For a sense of layering, I personally use spot metering and evaluative metering more often.

4. Use the sky as a background

The sky is a simple and clean background for shooting flowers and plants, and it serves as a foil to the flowers and plants. If it's a sunny day, the blue sky and warm flowers form a strong contrast, making it more visually impactful.

5. Use blur to capture the artistic conception

Use a large aperture to create a blur effect other than the main subject, which will enhance the artistic conception of flowers and plants and extend the imagination of the viewer.

6. Photographing flowers and plants in the morning dew

Flowers and plants with dew have a different effect from artificial spraying of water. Under the sunlight, it is crystal clear and has a different kind of beauty.
