How to photograph plum blossoms, how to photograph pictorial plum blossoms

1. Plum blossom shooting is not only a simple shooting of the form of plum blossoms, but more importantly, an expression of artistic conception. The plum blossom trunk is exquisitely vigorous, very rich in texture, and the plum blossom's elegant and fresh color forms a strong contrast, the charm of the plum blossom lies in its wind and snow bones, so, shooting plum blossoms, the situation should be ranked first, the plum blossom branch form is even more important to the composition than the plum blossom itself, the selection of branches into the picture is a ** whether to attract attention to the premise;

2. Appreciating plum is expensive and rare but not expensive and dense, expensive old and not expensive and tender, expensive thin and not expensive and fat, expensive and not expensive, which is called "plum rhyme four expensive". Therefore, in the composition of plum blossoms, it is a better composition method to draw on the "blank space" in Chinese painting. In **, the plum blossom as the subject of the photograph only occupies part of the picture**, deliberately blanking part of the picture space, so that the picture appears clean and orderly.

It is also possible to take advantage of the natural extension of the euphemistic curves of its trunk to compose the picture.

3. To shoot the natural beauty of plum blossoms, good light is a must, and plum blossoms are suitable for many types of light; When using Shunguang, pay attention to choosing branches and flowers with characteristics in color and level, so as to avoid the flat picture caused by Shunguang; When using backlight and side backlight, although the texture is very good, it is easy to overdo or undershoot, which should be paid special attention to, and it is best to use spot metering to get shooting data. It is also necessary to control the background well, shoot with backlight, and deepen the background color to make the outline of the main flower more distinct, and the distant flowers loom and blur to form a layer. Sometimes you can also use the natural color block formed by the blurring of the plum blossom in the near place as a foreground, giving ** a sense of depth.

The plum blossom subject in the following is a portrait shot, so my equipment is also a Nikon 85mm and a Zeiss 35mm manual head, which is mainly used for portrait shooting.

Camera brand: Nikon Corporation Camera model: Nikon D800

Pictorial plum blossoms are mainly post-production, because PS software is made by foreigners, foreign devils do not understand Chinese paintings, so it is difficult to process the effect of foreign paintings with this kind of software (because it can only be imitated, so it is called pictorial photography). In the shooting, the main thing is to try to provide space for post-production, the main thing is the shape of plum blossoms, it is recommended that you find plum blossom bonsai to shoot the effect will be much better. Nowadays, in the "pictorial" photography, Master Liu Rongguang and Master Wang Shiwu are the first to be recommended, and it is Master Sun Jun who makes Gongbi paintings, and you can collect their original works to study.

Send a copy of my ** study, although it can't be on the list, but I haven't seen other fans like this.

1. The plum blossom is small, so it is best to choose a macro lens for shooting.

2. Choose a plum blossom next to it, and choose the distance and flower type when composing, so that you can shoot a three-dimensional feeling.

3. Overexposure can highlight the otherworldliness of plum blossoms, +1 3EV is better.

The most suitable for shooting plum blossoms is a short macro lens such as Zeiss, Makro Planar 50 2 or Nikon's 60 macro, etc. In this way, you can not only close-up a single plum blossom or a single cluster of plum blossoms, but also bring some plum branches appropriately to retain the vigorous feeling of plum blossoms, and you can also leave a few steps to shoot the whole plum tree. It's more convenient.

In addition, a tripod is a must.

The key lies in the composition, the position distribution of plum blossoms and the direction of plum branches must be grasped well, and there should be no disturbing content outside the subject, not only in the focus, but also outside the focus. If the weather is clear, try using blue sky as a bokeh background, or photographing flowers with backlit effects, etc. The shooting method is no different from other flower photography, the main thing is that the composition must reflect the characteristics of plum blossoms.

In fact, plum blossoms are not good-looking, the flowers are small, scattered, bald branches, and bowed.

So shoot the plum blossoms well. You have to avoid these shortcomings. For example, close to the shot, highlight the theme, look up slightly, the important thing is to choose a good background, and it is also good to choose a large piece of emerald green, which can make up for the bald branches of plum blossoms and also set off the warm flowers.

It's best to use a macro lens, or telephoto, with a wide aperture, which will blur the background and bring out the subject more.

Give it a try and succeed.

What lens do you use now?

This thing is tried out to see what effect you like.

Leave blank, and then pay attention to the composition, generally do not put all the plum blossoms into the scene, roughly to the right or left, or you can blur the scenery except for the plum blossoms.

One is a macro shot, and the other can be a poetic shot.

Imitate first, then shoot yourself. Save what you see and think it's good-looking, and study more.
