How to make the beautiful scenery of spring more delicious? Don't miss these five "spring elements" themes.

There is a poem that says, "There are flowers in spring, a moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer and snow in winter". In the spring of March, it is the best time to go out and enjoy flowers, and it is also the most worthwhile time to go out and shoot.

Stepping into the spring, there are many subjects to shoot, but how to shoot more tastefully? Here are six kinds of "spring elements" themes, how to make them look good? ...

1, a touch of new green in early spring

In early spring, the flowers are not in full bloom, but don't forget the touch of new green in early spring. Walking on the road every day, you see patches of new green, tender willows sprouting by the waterfront, moss in dark and humid places such as rocks, pools, roof tiles, decaying walls and wetlands, and even ordinary "grass" on the roadside.

Compared with the flowers in spring, this touch of new green is more easily overlooked. In fact, as long as you master the shooting skills, the new green in early spring will be more eye-catching. Shooting new green in spring is very important for the embodiment of light and shadow. Try to shoot when the sun just comes out or the sun is about to set. At this time, the light is soft and can form a good light and shadow effect.

Side light: Side light is one of the commonly used lights in photography, which is very helpful for shaping the layering of the picture and the three-dimensional sense of the object, and is very suitable for shooting.

Backlight: the modeling effect of backlight can well show the texture, texture and hierarchy of leaves. Whether it is a close-up of a single leaf or just a few leaves, it has a different feeling. At the same time, backlighting can create a particularly attractive visual impact effect, and some sensitive atmospheres that are imperceptible to human eyes can be displayed under backlighting, such as Tindal and Sun Star Mountain. In actual shooting, we should pay attention to reasonably controlling the glare of the lens.

When shooting against the light, in order to enhance the effect of light transmission of leaves, you can choose a dark background to set off. Spot metering the leaves during shooting can enhance the light ratio, highlight the outline and texture of the leaves with a dark background, and finally make the picture rich in details and strong in texture. If you use a bright background, you can make the picture clean and colorful.

Scattered light: Scattered light is characterized by no obvious contrast between light and shadow of the subject, small contrast of the scene and weak stereoscopic impression. Soft light makes the tone softer, and it is easier to show the details and attractive side of the picture.

Sunlight is the most unpleasant lighting condition in photography. Because the picture is rather dull, lacking in layering and three-dimensional sense, when using this light level, try to choose the subject with bright colors and rich layers of the scene itself to eliminate the dull scene caused by sunlight shooting.

What needs to be reminded here is that the green color in spring represents vitality and gives people life and vitality, and the photo that can best show the vitality and vitality of this spring is macro shooting, which is very suitable for shooting macro works in spring.

The key to shooting macro is accurate focusing; Because the macro depth of field is extremely shallow and the clear focus range is very small, it is necessary to ensure accurate focus when shooting stamens, which is extremely torturous. Manual focusing is recommended.

2. Flowers in spring

At this time, all kinds of flowers are competing to bloom, which is one of the shooting themes sought after by many people. In addition to regular shooting, how to make your work unconventional and more artistic?

There are many unique elements of China around us. If you can take these elements into account when taking pictures of flowers, you will take pictures of other people with different Chinese styles. For example, tile roofs, flower windows, courtyards, red walls ... these are unique elements of China, so we must not ignore them when shooting.

Please refer to the above photographic composition, don't ignore these China elements, and take good photos with full charm.

Drawing lessons from "blank space" in Chinese painting is a better composition method in flower photography. To put it simply, flowers, as the main body, only occupy a part of the width of the picture, deliberately leaving the corresponding picture space blank. Therefore, the scene in front of us looks clean and tidy, and gives the audience a free daydream space.

Furthermore, according to the natural extension of flower branches, it is a good choice to make full use of their curves for composition, and the combination of vertical composition can highlight the tension of lines.

No matter what the subject matter is, too many single techniques will often overshadow the photos. You can use special techniques to shoot scenes that are usually invisible to your eyes, such as macro, multiple exposure, rotating focus, flash Hou Lian synchronization and so on. Creativity and creativity are the key to determine whether your work can stand out among many flower works.

3. The beauty of falling rain

Raindrops, raindrops and ripples are the basic skills to show the effect of falling rain, and they are also loved by everyone. So how do you shoot different effects?

Shutter is the key to raindrop shooting. It can be tried within 1/200 ~ 1/500 seconds according to the falling speed of raindrops, and the continuous shooting function of the camera can be used to capture raindrops. Choose dark background, backlight, side backlight and other conditions to shoot the transparent texture of water droplets.

It's easier to shoot the rain. According to the falling speed of raindrops, you can usually choose 1/50 seconds or so to shoot the rain silk effect. Also choose dark background, backlight, side backlight and other conditions to shoot the transparent texture of water droplets. It should be noted that wind and rain are accompanied. When shooting rain, pay attention to the wind direction. It is best to shoot with crosswind, so that raindrops can form a diagonal line, so as to render the momentum of wind and rain.

When shooting rainy days, it is important to have a sense of atmosphere, that is, the choice of scenes. Since ancient times, rain and flowers have been integrated, and there is also a saying that the attic listens to the spring rain, so rain and flowers are the best match with the rubble of Qingtai.

On rainy days, the road surface is watery, and where there is water, the ripples of rain on the water surface are very clear. Combined with the flowers in spring, this picture is beautiful and vivid.

Besides, wicker, small bridge and red lantern are all representative elements. Don't miss this scene.

4. spring water

Spring water is very different from autumn water, which is quiet and mysterious, while spring water is full of hope and vitality. Therefore, the vitality and hope of spring water has become one of the themes of poetic spring scenery.

It should be said that it is very good to use the slow door to shoot the flowing water, because the slow door can turn the flowing water into a long stream and create a lingering artistic conception of the flowing water. Generally speaking, the shutter speed of 1s-5s can make the water flow have a very obvious atomization effect.

To reflect the fuzzy and gorgeous beauty in the picture is not to fill the picture infinitely, but to set it off by contrast. Consciously select a small number of still scenes to set off the virtual shadow, so as to achieve the purpose of virtual reality. In the principle of composition, we should also try to eliminate redundant elements unrelated to the main content of the picture, and try to choose the scenery with the highest "face value" and obvious spring characteristics as a foil.

5. Ordinary scenery

"The most beautiful scenery is not only in the distance", often the most beautiful scenery is around you, and sometimes a very ordinary little scene can touch your heart. For example, in front of a dilapidated house, a weed grows and blooms wantonly.

The spring rain disappears with it. Before it disappears, take pictures of the raindrops on the surface of plants and show their quiet and beautiful posture.

Falling flowers scattered on the ground are easily overlooked. The petals scattered on the ground are well shot, and the picture is more delicious. This painting is more artistic.

In addition to the conventional shooting method, you can also shoot the dynamic beauty of falling flowers, or shoot with the help of specular reflection.

6. Flower Sea Photo

Beautiful and romantic flower sea photo is always the eternal shooting theme in portrait photography, and the flower sea in spring is naturally one of the indispensable shooting themes.

Squinting, turning, carrying hands, stretching, looking into the distance, etc. They are all small and fresh postures. If you have a partner with strong shooting ability, you can also try to spin and jump hahaha to get a sense of movement.

?

If you can't shoot yet, the universal posture is to kill from behind.

In addition, you don't have to put the model's whole body in the mirror. You can consider only taking pictures of the model's eyes, sides, back or hands. Local images will guide us to expand our imagination and give images different thinking spaces.

abstract

The above points are to give you some reference when shooting in spring. If you pay attention to these ideas in shooting, you can use them flexibly. I believe practice will let you know. Finally, what I want to say is that there is no "formula" or "routine". All you need is "intentional". While it's still early spring. Why don't you go out for a walk?
