? more complicated than you think professional skills Flowers
see the title of this chapter, you may be confused, because the flower photo looks very simple, really true? I mean, they are static, colorful, very attractive, people willing to flowers. A good flower photos taken almost no skill. But is it? Of course not, it needs to make a good strong skills. Why? Because the nature of pollination, the petals will have on the ########## eye can not see a thin layer of reflective film, but digital camera CMOS sensor, CCD sensors can capture this layer is reflective film, so that photos will be covered with a layer of gray , flower color becomes less bright, not only that, photo sharpness will not be enough. Now, there is a special kind of image filters (light mechanics called the Flora 61B) can reduce the impact of pollination on the photos, make photo imaging clear, reduce gray. However, due to the control of the Federal Trade Commission, we now can not directly buy this filter. Course I joking. If you like to use this filter, how can shoot a good flower pictures? Well, I just tell you a joke, get down to business, flowers, photography is an art form, follow the prompts if you do, your flower photo shoot the next one would be much better (if you do not consider the result of pollination, gray photo ,dior sunglasses 2011, clarity variation). I was kidding.
1, not overhead


daily life, when you go to see wildflowers in the field, or walking in the garden when the flowers will look bent over the flowers. If we stand beside the flowers, with flowers in our daily way of overlooking the overhead, then the pictures are the very common, why is it so? If you want to shoot pictures of a visual impact, we must look from the perspective of our everyday little shooting. In other words, not overhead, but bend over and select the level of the angle of take pictures with them. One thing is professional photographers often do rather for amateurs overlooked. If you want to shoot a good flower photos, you have to do to prepare hands dirty (or at least your knees.) On Figure show their differences: left Figure is typical overhead manner photographs; right diagram is left photo shooting End 30 seconds same focal length lens, in same light shooting with a flower, but from the side to beat (one knee come down to earth), not overhead. You can see from the unusual perspective from which to shoot pictures of the difference. Therefore, in order to make a good flower, at least not overhead. By the way, when you have squatted there, as far as possible to low (lower than flowers), and then photographed from a point of view it is fascinating.
2, with a zoom shot

Flowers do not need a macro lens (close-ups), with a good zoom lens to shoot pictures of flowers for two reasons:
(1) you can often spend the whole screen enlarged to almost full;
(2) shooting with a zoom lens focal length may not be aligned with the background aligned flowers.
first select the aperture priority mode (the mode dial appropriated A), then use the minimum allowed by the camera aperture (that is, if your lens is f/5.6,oakley sunglasses 2011, to use f/5.6). Then align the focal length flower or cluster of flowers by the close. When you do, the background to blur so that pictures have a strong visual impact.
Tip: Protect your knees
If you are ready to take a lot of words, there is a very expensive camera equipment in the shop fittings can not be bought, that is, knee pads. They are very useful. In household goods stores, convenience stores or supplies a full range of gardening store you can buy.
3, together with close-focusing macro lens


you whether professional photographers those Feature photos (usually can see bee in imparting pollen) feel incredible it? In fact, they are shot with a macro lens. Macro lens enables shooting body and flowers image to 1:1 ratio replication out this way only macro lens can. Macro lens very shallow depth,chanel sunglasses 2011, when shooting rose when front petals very clear while behind petals natural blurred. I'm not talking about a bunch of roses in a vase is a rose. Remember, remember, when using a macro lens, you must use a tripod. When you take a flower heart, any slight jitter can ruin the photo, you can refer to the first chapter of the sharpening techniques to show the amazing flowers macro photography.
Tip: Put your zoom lens into a macro lens
very simple, just to increase your daily use of a close-up zoom lens (we will talk about the next page.) Like I said, this close-up lens (also known as two yuan close-up diopters) than a complete macro lens cheaper,sunglasses 2011, as long as there is to add it to zoom zoom function. You can buy a unit of close-up filter, although the photos are generally not very clear edge, but do not care for shooting flowers.
4, macro lens too expensive? Close-up how?


this trick I was with my old friend Moose Peterson (wild and natural scenery of the famous photographer) to learn, he can put a telephoto zoom converted into a macro lens, and Price is only one macro lens, 1 / 4, and only its weight and size of 1 / 10. It looks like a thick filter (about 1 inch thick), the Nikon and Canon lenses as the same as the traditional filter combine to put the zoom lens into a macro lens. The advantages of this close-up the following points:
(1) small size, do not take place;
(2) only a few ounces (1 ounce = 28.35g), very light;
(3) most importantly, very cheap (at least 4,000 yuan with a macro lens compared to the original.)
It is called the Canon
closeup (even if it is the Canon lens, it can also be combined with Nikon lenses. This is what I know Canon equipment is combined with Nikon equipment. I have Canon 500D and Nikon Close-up of 70 ~ 200mm Image Stabilizer Lens (77mm) fit together, the effect is very good.) How much does this combination trick? It depends on the lens you want with the size ranging from about 560 to 1100 yuan. Quite right!
5, when to shoot


There are 3 time
ideal time for shooting.
(1) a cloud cloudy. Clouds cover the sun, the shadow softer, flowers bright colors do not stabbed to dilute the purpose of direct sunlight. Therefore, cloudy is the favorite flower photographer shooting weather. In fact, only one other time may be more suitable than the cloudy film, what is it?
(2) soon after the rain. This is a very magical moment Flowers. At this point shot, there are still clouds in the sky, flowers,dior sunglasses, still with raindrops (of course, in order to protect the camera and yourself, do not shoot is when it rains.) If you have a macro lens, take pictures with it this time, there will be a stunning effect. When you shoot with a macro lens, do not forget to leaves and stems of the raindrops are shot down, it can bring out the colors and delicate flowers. (Of course, if you do not forget to use the macro lens on a tripod shot.)
(3) If you shoot a sunny day, try to choose the morning and evening. In order to make full use of this time, light, shooting with long zoom lens, and you have to stand in the position of flowers backlight, so you can take advantage of a very magnificent (of course, limited) background light to shoot.
6, do not wait for rainy days - Simulated rain

this approach may at first sound ridiculous, but to tell you how to do this, you will be very shocked. Do not need to wait for rain before shooting, just take on a watering can full of water, facing the spray of flowers on it. Beauty supply store in Walgrees I found a very nice little watering can. Sprayed with a watering can as long as a few, there is a very lovely petals drops, and no one will know you did not wait patiently for the gift of Mother Nature like, but sprayed on with a watering can. With a very small watering can, put it in the camera bag (of course, is the empty bottle.) I have the day after a spring rain in the White House lawn in this way for the water I gave my wife some pictures of yellow roses photographed. You can also try using this method, the method applied successfully.
nothing to do with photography tips:
the watering can on the camera bag There is also a little-known benefit: to fold clothes ironed the whole. Bedtime shirt, sweatshirts, photography vest etc clothes spraying few drops next day wake up will find folds missing. I know this has nothing to do with photography.
7, black background photographing flowers


Flowers have a shooting methods - the single sticks of flowers on a black background to film, shoot photos fascinating. Of course, you can add a black background in Photoshop, but this method is too cumbersome. Practice of professional photographers - behind the shooting took place in a black background. My old friend Vincent Versace is a very influential landscape photographer, he told me this way - when out photographing flowers, he would wear a black jacket, if you see want to make the flowers, he would let his assistant (or a friend, wife, pedestrians, etc.) raised in the flower jacket behind the opposite. I know it sounds exaggerated, but you personally tried to know. If you are shooting flowers in the room (almost every time my wife flowers, flowers or friend to us, I will shoot), buy some black velvet or velvet, and then put it in the background behind the flower. You can use it to prop up a thing (I have the background covered in velvet biscuit barrel on my son.) Flowers and an interval between the black background a few feet (so, the light dimmed, the black background will look very dark), so you can start shooting. So, what kind of light is the best of it? Please continue reading below.
8, taken on white background


another very popular flower photography is to shoot a white background. Equipment from a local camera store to buy Seamless White paper (very cheap), but it usually be wider than you need. Unless it is taken to the florist, usually you do not want to see the vase. So I will go to office supply store, buy two or three 20 �� 30 inch white (with a bit like a bulletin board, but thicker and more rigid.) Usually, I put a white board behind the flower (flowers packed in a vase), and then use another piece of board to natural light (not direct light from a window) a white reflective background, as photos will not appear ash the. Similarly, the interval between the flower and the background about 3 feet, in natural light, shooting images of flowers on a white background than a white background in Photoshop to add much simpler.
use shower curtain tips:
If you have a shower curtain (Here we will talk about its use), then there is also a way to save money: use it as a white background. If you use shallow depth, you never know white background is Yulian. Do not use f/11 or f/16 shot, otherwise people will say:
9, ideal for indoor Flowers light


shooting flowers in the room if you do not need to buy an expensive camera light (not non-bought-not), because the use of soft natural light to shoot better pictures of flowers. Out of the window the sun is not direct but soft scattering, the pictures are great. If your windows are very dirty, it's probably better because it is so soft and light more diffuse. So it is necessary in the room, studio, office and other places to find a sunny window is not direct. Then placed near a window flower, and let the flower side light (if it is positive to the light, pictures are not three-dimensional). Now tripod, in the eyes and flowers in a horizontal position shooting (remember, not overhead). Now no need to spend a penny, you can pretty, soft light shot (at least without buying photographic lamp).
how to artificially create the ideal natural light:
If face is from windows according coming glaring sunlight, can artificially change light, in Wal supermarket buy two things: (1) white Scrub shower curtain (or Yulian lining pad); (2) some tack or pushpin. Frosted shower curtain with a pin to pin the window, so you can use such an ideal scattering of light to enjoy the fun of shooting. Do not worry, I will not tell others of this secret.
10, which can be photographed in the gorgeous flowers


this sounds confusing, but I can not remember how many times we talk about this issue with the photographer, they always say: . You can pick any one you want to spend (I like to shoot roses, calla, lilies, daisies), and buy flowers to flower well (they should be fresh.) You can refuse they give your any spots or flower bad flower, and you without they flowers bandaged. You can use less than 100 yuan to be photographed in full bloom, stunning flowers (although sometimes you have to spend a day or so to wait for roses.)
11, let the wind stop


If you outdoors photographing flowers may encounter Flowers natural predators - wind. A good tripod, camera at the shoot body, the focus has finished, you can only slow down that waiting for the wind, nothing is more frustrating. Shot with a macro lens if it is even worse, because even the slightest shake will result in disaster (exaggeration, photos will be blurred.) You can try the previous method, using the body to block the wind (in fact, so poorly), but in fact, you can use the camera itself to solve this problem. Select the shutter priority mode (for controlling the shutter speed and the camera to adjust the speed of other settings, so the exposure modest), then the shutter speed to 1 / 250 second or faster. In general, this move took the wind caused by the solidification of living (unless a hurricane.) If still does not work faster shutter speeds, there is a second program can be implemented, it is a lookout into the subject. By the way, if you can not beat it, then took it on board - with a very slow shutter speed, so you can see spent on mobile (when pressing the shutter, you will see the flowers moving trajectory), you will Try this
