​Simple 4 flowers photography lighting skills

Flowers and plants must be one of the favorites of many photography players, canvas prints usually in the vicinity of the home, park or holiday to the outskirts of tourism, see lovely floret grass, always cannot help but put the lens at them, not to mention to catch the time of the flower season! Just how can you make the flowers and plants beautiful? Let's listen to some tips on how to use light. After you learn how to use light, maybe even weeds can create a delicate feeling.

Shoot flowers with diffuse light

Diffuse light is an extremely soft light to which objects are not Shadowed or shadow less, photo canvas prints australia similar to those used in operating rooms. This kind of light is produced outdoors when the clouds cover the sun. There is no obvious direct light hitting the subject. After many reflections, the light has lost its obvious directionality. Diffused light is much brighter than on a cloudy day, but it is also very soft. Diffuse light is used to shoot flowers. There is no obvious light and shade relationship in the picture, reducing the contrast and showing the texture and level of flowers. At the same time, this kind of light is very suitable for macro photography, avoiding the interference of clutter light on the lens. If we shoot flowers indoors, we can also artificially create diffuse light. We can use white objects, such as white paper or white cloth, to build an arc around the flowers to form a soft diffuse light, which is much better than the indoor light at this time.

The depiction of flowers by side light

When the light strikes the subject, it creates a projection on the other side that shows the subject's texture, depth and depth. The side light has a strong modeling ability, which can make the subject produce obvious light and dark surface, increase the tone of the picture, cheap large canvas to enrich the level of the picture. Such large light ratio and high contrast give people a strong visual impact, thus producing a strong artistic modeling effect. As a result, side-light photography has a much richer tonal hierarchy than front-light photography. Use side light to photograph flowers, some parts of which are exposed to direct sunlight, while others are illuminated by scattered and reflected light from the sky or surrounding scenery. The flowers under the side light have a strong expressive force. When the side light is strong, the light and dark contrast produced by the photographed object is also strong.

Backlighting to show the effect of Mosaic texture

Backlight shooting can make the object brightness and saturation can be improved, so that under the light of the insipid object presents a beautiful luster and better texture. In flower photography, the backlight is composed of high-contrast light and shade, forming a refreshing artistic style. The backlight can outline the beautiful lines of the flowers, and it can also make the subjects of the flowers be separated from the dark background, increasing the depth of the picture and highlighting the main body, so that the texture of the flowers and leaves can be well presented against the dark background. When shooting flowers with backlight, we should also pay attention to the issue of exposure compensation and increase the amount of exposure according to the actual situation; otherwise it will lead to insufficient exposure of the picture and lose the effect of backlight.

Use exposure compensation to display flower colors

Shooting flower, if flowers filled the entire screen, camera measured exposure for flower color reduction basic accurate, if accounts for only a small part of flowers in the picture, for the metering machine is less "light", the background of light and shade and the surrounding scenery will have great influence on the camera's exposure. When the flowers are shot against a dark background, the camera's metering point should be focused on the flowers. If the background color is used for exposure, the camera's metering system will be "deceived" and lead to excessive exposure of the flowers. In the same way, a light background can also lead to insufficient exposure of flowers, thus affecting the restoration of flowers' own colors. Experienced photographers, according to the actual situation, the camera will measure the exposure value of appropriate compensation, try to avoid the environment on flowers caused too much impact, and strive to achieve the true restoration of flowers color, the specific approach is to increase exposure of light background, photo on glass printing and dark background to reduce exposure.
