6 essential strategies for flower photography

There are too many people who can photograph flowers, canvas prints and there are not many kinds of flowers that can be photographed. I suggest you to avoid environmental interference and try to find a place you really like to shoot.

Hundreds of micro lens, the background is blurred, strengthen the details

This is a miniature shot of hay, and what's interesting about this picture is that there's a little bee flying in the air. It is difficult to shoot with macro lens, because the depth of field of field of macro lens is very narrow in the case of large aperture, and when shooting in the field, canvas prints online australia everything is dancing with the wind, so the shooting speed is relatively fast. For example, when shooting at a macro distance, take the shooting time over 1/1000s and turn the aperture to the maximum, so as to ensure the maximum background space.

When I shoot flowers, I prefer to shoot in black and white. However, not all flowers are suitable for the black and white style, because some flowers are not so rich in brightness changes. The edges of the flowers are not so distinctive. And in the process of photographing flowers, I prefer to observe their light and shadow changes. One of the images, taken with a 100 micro lens, focuses on the tip of the stamen, so its focus is particularly narrow. At this time, the comparison tests the photographer's choice of focus, when shooting, but also to ensure that the flowers do not vibrate in the wind. If you look closely at the center of the stamens, you will find flowers in the flowers. There are many filaments and pollens in the flowers.

Highlight the foreground, highlight the details

This work was shot indoors, but with outdoor light. The requirement that shoots indoor flower to light is not very high, have a relatively capacious window to add natural light to shoot indoor very perfect. The lighting method of photographing flowers is quite similar to that of photographing portraits. One is to use the backlighting method to display the largest range of shapes and shapes. The backlighting photography can fully highlight the tiny hairy edge of flowers.

Reverse light does a little change to become a side to reverse light slightly, vase itself has certain form aesthetic feeling, add the wildflower that collect outside again, because this flower, vase, table this 3 levels of thing can be expressed come out. But only in the backlight, the color of the petals will be the most beautiful; when the petals are smooth, it is difficult to make the part of the petals transparent. With the same bouquet of flowers, this work USES a black background, but rather than black cloth, it is determined by relative brightness. When enough light hits the flowers and vases, it naturally turns dark or dark grey relative to the darker background. And it's the background that doesn't interfere with the foreground, and it's what sets the foreground apart. So when I measure the light, I will use the high-light point to measure the light. The high-light point may appear on the far right side. If I catch certain non-exposure, and the color and shape of the flowers are perfectly presented, basically the exposure of this photo will not need to worry. Try to understand the connection between light and the objects you need to photograph.

Take advantage of the lens to find space in details

The ability to find details is so important that most people don't notice the details when they look at the flowers. For example, if you look at the same kind of flowers within five kilometers, the real personality can only be reflected in the details. Real personality is done in the long focus segment. To make your work recognizable, you need to gradually transition from wide Angle to long focus, which is a process of examining the growth. When photographing details, you need to observe the shape of the flowers. When I shoot flowers myself, I like to limit myself to a certain limited scope. I don't need much content. What I need to do is focus on the same flower and analyzes its shape and characteristics.

Shoot flowers like a portrait

When such a single flower is photographed against a clean background, it can be seen that the light is coming from the upper right of the flower, exposing the surface of the petals, while the background is only a little brighter in the central area, which is a clean background. In this case it's the same way as shooting a portrait.

If you look at the flowers from a different Angle and try to make them look like human figures, you'll start to think about whether it's the half, the small half, or the whole body. You can also take pictures of dead branches that have already been blossomed, or even a small tip. When you shoot with a macro or micro lens, small details like skin can be photographed and it feels like opening a door to a new world.

A combination of landscape and flowers

When shooting the flower sea, I will take two shots, one of which is a wide-angle lens. In order to shoot the whole scene, I adopted a shooting method combining environment and flowers, so that the flowers can be a good ornament in the picture.

At this time, the works can also be appreciated as landscape films, or as flower works for appreciation.

Every flower has its own line

Hang the golden bell upside down and drop down. I want to place the part of the stamen in the bright part, so that the bright background can foil the stamens. And the bright part of the flower happens to be in the region of round bright light, the dark part is a cool color and the warm color of the flower alternate with each other, so in a work, brightness, color, form, and all three interact.

The impact of shooting a flower alone must be much better than shooting a bunch of messy flowers, so try to find a clean background when shooting. The use of large aperture background is naturally able to make the shooting background more concise, but if you want to pursue the ultimate simplicity, then you need to find a more concise background.

How do you find a clean background?

Create a clean background and bring your own solid color or find a clean wall. Look for the sky as the background, Flower Canvas Paintings and the sky will not be too much color. Light and shadow, together with the flowers in the foreground, achieve a certain degree of integration, and also present a certain painting meaning in it.
