Many fan friends, after reading my previous article, left a message in the comment area: The purple or red chrysanthemum photos taken by themselves have a very poor effect and are not good,I don't know what the reason is.
According to the discussion of friends and the uploaded photos, combined with their own experience in shooting purple and red chrysanthemums, the following 5 reasons were summarized, just for your reference:
The first reason: light is not used well
I found that many friends did not pay too much attention to the use of light when shooting chrysanthemums, such as the intensity of light, direction, light and shade, etc., did not carefully observe and consider, and were very casual when shooting. In general, the photo effect taken with side light or backlight is better than the smooth light. If the light is too strong, purple or red chrysanthemums are prone to overexposure.
The second reason: the overflow of color causes the flowers to have no sense of layering
The situation of color overflow is because the red or purple chrysanthemum is prone to overexposure when shooting, resulting in no sense of layering in the highlights or highlights of the photo, forming a piece of color. It may be that the light is too strong, it may be metering the dark part of the flower, or it may be that the aperture is too large. Therefore, when we shoot, according to the actual situation, try to choose a softer light shooting, or appropriately reduce the exposure compensation, or appropriately reduce the aperture.
The third reason: the angle of shooting is not well chosen
The choice of the angle of the shooting subject is very important in the photographic performance, and the angle shown to the audience is not good, which will directly affect the visual effect of the photo, so when we shoot, we try to observe as much as possible and choose a more special angle for shooting.
The fourth reason: the positive and negative spatial ratios of the photo are not handled well
The visual effect of a photo is closely related to the treatment of positive and negative spatial proportions. The proportional treatment of positive and negative spaces is also the focus of composition. According to the appearance characteristics of the main elements, the light and heavy colors, and other factors, the visual balance of the picture should be realized, so that the picture has a comfortable visual effect.
The fifth reason: proper post-processing is not done
Shooting purple or red chrysanthemums, proper post-processing is also very important, I see a lot of friends' photos, have not been post-processed, so the effect of the photo is somewhat lacking. For example, the clutter of the picture, the bright gray and light and shade of the color, and the composition of the picture all need to make up for the lack of pre-shooting through the post-production.
In short, photography belongs to the category of visual art expression, which needs to be paid attention to from many aspects, to shoot a good work, we need to study from the content of performance, the selection of main elements, the use of light and shadow, the choice of angles, the way of composition, the collocation of colors, and the processing of the later stage.
