How to photograph dew after rain? How to shoot dewdrops

The air is fresh and pleasant after the rain. The plants are cleaner after the rain, and the water droplets that remain on them add to the cleanliness and beauty of the plants. The early morning after the rain is a good time to photograph plants, when the plants are clean and delicate, and the air is fresh and the perspective is good.

Close-ups of water droplets need to be represented by macro photography. When shooting water droplets in near-isomagnification close-ups, the only way to show their appearance and form clearly is to stop down the aperture. Especially when shooting water droplets on cobwebs and fallen leaves, a 100mm mid-focus macro lens comes into play.

Also, pay attention to the density of water droplets and the shape of the sphere from the viewfinder. When shooting at close range, the depth of field of the lens becomes relatively small, and if you shoot with the aperture wide open, the corridor of the water droplets will become blurry. It's best to stop down the aperture to a certain level so that the picture is clearer.

Finally, don't forget to choose a background that can highlight the water droplets, too cluttered backgrounds will not give a good viewing angle even if they are close-ups.

When using a macro shot of water droplets on plants after rain, you can deliberately blur the background so that the water droplets on the front leaf remain clear, and the water droplets will have a strong sense of transparency under the action of light.

Autumn leaves after the rain.

On the red leaves after the rain, the rain has not completely evaporated, and a few drops of water add color to the picture.

Crystal dew after the rain.

Water droplets reflect the surrounding scenery.

The moment a drop of crystal clear water drops from the leaves, it reflects the surrounding scenery, showing the freshness of the air and the perspective of the water droplets.

Choose a clean background.

The scattered light is used to photograph the flowers full of water droplets in the waterfall, which shows the crystal clarity of the water droplets, and highlights the cleanliness and softness of the flowers.

Shoot water droplets after rain with a wide aperture.

The grass after the rain is covered with crystal water droplets, and a large aperture and small depth of field are selected to highlight the crystal clear water droplets to the greatest extent.

Take the initiative to look for dew after the rain: the sun comes out after a storm, or the sun is shining but there are rain clouds in the distance, no matter what you are doing, this is the time to find a better chance.

Accurate**: The background of the dew is the sky, and the dew needs to be used as the performance object, that is, the brightness of the sky. It is best to have a dark background of the dewdrops, so that the color of the dewdrops will stand out more.

In order to make the color of the dew more vivid and prominent, you can reduce some ** amount, do not use polarizers, and shoot in RAW format to ensure that there is more room for adjustment in the later stage.

You can use macro photography to shoot the water droplets on the plants after the rain to deliberately blur the background and keep the water droplets on the front leaves clear, so that the water column will be very transparent under the action of light.

Fix the shooting machine, find a good angle, and it is best to take photos when there is sunlight to highlight the freshness after the rain.

It is best to shoot with a macro lens, or you can adjust the shutter a little slower, and then adjust the number of apertures to a smaller and the depth of field to magnify the depth of field, so that you can shoot more clearly**.

1. Use spot metering to achieve normal metering of water droplets.

2. There should be good light (preferably natural light) and the speed should be greater than 200m (handheld) with a tripod.

3. When shooting, you should carefully observe the reflection in the water droplets, and press the shutter when you change the angle to feel beautiful.

4. You can change the different scenery on the back of the water droplets to achieve a variety of effects.

5. It is difficult to focus, so you must smile and shoot more, and choose the one you are satisfied with.

6. The background should be dark and monochrome, so that the water droplets will be more crystal clear.

When shooting dewdrops, make the base fiber shoot with a side backlight, which can increase the permeability of Shui Kaifeng's beads, and the close-up backlight** can also blur the small dewdrops in the distance into light spots. In addition to using side backlighting, soft astigmatism is also suitable for shooting dewdrops. In contrast to the translucency of backlit photography, the soft scattered light can give the water droplets a natural light appearance.

Dew, like frost, is also mostly observed on clear and windless nights. At the same time, objects that are prone to dew formation are often objects with relatively large surface areas, rough surfaces, and poor thermal conductivity. Sometimes, dew forms in the first half of the night, and the temperature continues to drop in the second half of the night, causing the dew on the object to freeze, which is called frost dew.
