In the early summer of May, spring is gone, and the shallow early summer has arrived as promised. The spring flowers thanked a wave, and the summer flowers followed. Elegant verbena, fresh little daisies, gentle roses, lotus flowers, and the various grasses and trees that are spread out freely are also the objects of photographers' capture.
So if you want to shoot the summer flowers and plants out of the amazing feeling, but also need a certain skill, here to share a few photography ideas, I hope to be helpful to the photography of xiaobai.
1: The subject is important
Whether we shoot in parks, landscape belts or the flowers and plants we grow ourselves, we must first look for the subject of the shooting, just like looking for the most beautiful protagonist in many stages.
For example, you shoot your own homegrown moonflower and look for the most delicate one that has just opened and wants to bloom.
For example, if you shoot a small daisy and choose a flower with a full flower shape and no impurities on the petals, it looks fresher.
For example, if you shoot safflower fried sauce grass, the green background is relatively more able to set off the delicacy of the flowers than the background of other colors.
So if you want to shoot beautiful flowers, the subject is very important, those flowers that are budding, flowers are blooming at the right time, the flowers are full, and the flowers are gorgeous are the targets you are looking for.
Of course, it is not only possible to shoot blooming flowers, can not shoot residual flowers or flower bones, such as falling flowers is another mood, the scene of flowers falling on the ground is a poetry, but in general, even if you shoot falling flowers, you also choose those clean, colorful petals to better express the poetry of falling flowers.
2: Use good light and shadow to be more transparent
The charm of light and shadow to the picture is no longer emphasized here, why can the same flower shoot different feelings in different lights? This is the effect of light and shadow.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the flowers photographed by Shunguang are more colorful. The flowers in the side light and side backlight appear more three-dimensional and more transparent.
So according to the picture effect you want to express, choose different light to shoot the summer flowers.
For example, the moon flowers after the rain appear more fresh and gentle with dewdrops.
For example, the scattered light on a cloudy day makes the rose flower look softer.
For example, the iris in the backlight looks so dreamy and transparent. Because the sunlight through the thin petals creates such a beautiful effect.
Therefore, if you want to express the transparency of the flowers, try to choose backlight and side backlight to shoot.
3: Want to play blur
We saw the flowers photographed by everyone in the circle of friends, some of which were bland and some of which were very artistic. If you want to enhance the sense of luxury of floral photography, there is a method that you must try, and that is bokeh.
Unreal backgrounds are easier to understand, and when shooting, there is enough distance between the flowers and the background, or shooting with a large aperture lens. The emphasis here is on the blurring of the outlook.
Photographing summer flowers and adding some foreground not only increases the sense of layering, but also creates a hazy effect, especially with the dreamy feeling of sugar water flakes.
For example, when photographing rose flowers, using the flowers in the foreground to create a pink patch of color, it looks very dreamy.
In fact, it is not difficult to shoot, in front of the camera to cover some flowers and grasses, you can shoot such an effect, but these foreground attention should not be too much too heavy, light and staggered, does not affect the performance of the theme, in order to achieve the best effect.
4: Small animals to add a sense of movement
Are the flowers that bloom in the summer more enthusiastic than the spring flowers? Because they still bloom under the scorching sun. In the clear summer sun, the sea of flowers always attracts many small insects.
If you want to make the flowers and plants you shoot more agile, then you can capture these small insects together into the lens.
Flowers blooming butterflies, white butterflies flying on purple verbena, is not a very good picture?
The ladybugs on the little daisies look cute.
Summer wildflowers with bees in it look more spiritual.
5: Carefully posing for literature and art
Summer is long, in addition to photographing the flowers and plants in nature, we can also do some indoor and outdoor posing. For example, some posing while admiring the flowers in the yard is a good picture.
In early summer under the roses, the girlfriends sit and chat, there are fruits, there are moons, and the picture of posing is very beautiful.
For example, you can also put the bouquet in a beautiful glass bottle and shoot it indoors in different backgrounds. Even a bouquet of small wildflowers can express a fresh summer taste.
Under the rose tree, a poetry collection, a bouquet of pink flowers, photographed a literary style.
The early summer sun is not hot, the outdoor greenery melts, and the summer flowers are brilliant. If you want to photograph tall flowers, try the above 5 photographic tips. Let the beautiful summer flowers become a classic in your lens!
