The second shot of succulent shooting is coming, such an illusory and dreamy style, it is really beautiful to shoot, those friends who buy SLRs for succulent plants? Come on, learn ~

I have always stressed that everyone has their own style in taking pictures, and even if your photos are not obvious now, they will gradually take shape after a period of time.

For example, I like to use a large aperture to create the dream effect of the subject in a chaotic background, which is my more iconic style.

On the other hand, some florists, especially men, like to highlight subjects with distinct lines and high contrast in a concise and profound background.

I think you have also wondered why some photos are so psychedelic and some are so simple and rigid. This issue mainly explains the "between reality" of succulent photography.

Before talking about the main topic, there is one more requirement. I hope that from carefully reading this set of strategies, please set the camera mode to M (manual file) and swear never to use the automatic file again. If you buy an expensive camera and only use automatic transmission every day, it is too wasteful to spend.

I. the meaning of the aperture the aperture is the value of f in the parameter.

In addition, the smaller the f value, the larger the aperture, so when you hear someone say a large aperture, remember that it is a small f value, don't reverse it.

From the above basic rules, it is not difficult to see that the significance of the aperture to the photo itself lies in the brightness and the degree of illusion.

As for how bright the picture is and how deep it is, there are no rules to speak of. it needs to be determined by repeated operation and comparison combined with the actual light conditions and our own ideal setting of the photo.

The virtual effect of background brought by large aperture

Second, the "emptiness" of atmosphere

The falsification we are talking about is aimed at the background outside the subject. if even the emptiness of the subject is the expression of another special state of mind, it depends on our own interest.

The mode I prefer is also mentioned above, and the vivid virtual background is my favorite. Take my style as an example, how to shoot?

First of all, we should choose the subject and background. I usually choose a large piece of colorful meat as the background, so that under the virtual effect, the outline of the background will be very blurred, leaving a colorful shadow.

And the main body had better choose a more prominent color compared with the background color, will appear more prominent, but also set off the overall picture of the dazzling.

One problem is that if in the bright day, we adjust the f value very small, the picture may be very bright, if you do not want to increase the f value (because the background will not be virtual enough), then how to balance our picture brightness?

There are the following methods (note that all examples in this article are based on M-pure manual mode):

1. By adjusting the photometry in the parameters to the average photometry, the white balance of the picture can be adjusted according to the brightness in the whole frame of the frame.

two。 Increasing the shutter speed can also effectively reduce the excessive brightness.

3. If you lower the sensitivity of the ISO, the lower the ISO, the less light will enter the camera, and the picture will be dimmed, on the contrary, in a dim environment, you need to increase the ISO to get more brightness.

Of course, the ISO value is closely related to the picture quality, the lower the ISO value, the more delicate the picture will be; usually we have no problem using the automatic ISO value.

4. Among the parameters, there will also be an exposure compensation, which can be adjusted to a negative state or effectively reduce the brightness.

5. Of course, the use of sunshades and other means of shading is also a way, and I will not repeat it here.

Third, the "reality" of the subject

If you want to keep the subject in a clear and smooth state, there are many details you need to pay attention to besides not choosing a low f value:

1. If you want the subject to be absolutely prominent and clear, you should not choose an overly complex background environment. A solid color background will be a very good choice.

two。 The importance of focus was mentioned in the last issue, and it is the same when applied here. If you want the subject to stand out, the focus must be all on the subject.

If you can't aim because of light and other reasons, you can choose a single point of focus or change the lens to manual focus. Take out the camera and take a closer look. There will be a small adjustment button on the lens with AF/MF written on it.

AF is autofocus, is the most commonly used mode in modern society, MF is manual focus, you need to use your hands to rotate the lens, yourself to find the desired depth of field distance and clarity, try to adjust you will understand what I mean

3. Try to change the position of several kinds of subjects in the picture, not necessarily in the center to show the outstanding subject, in the side or lower left and lower right corner, there will be a unique picture effect, coupled with their own background, you will get your own hand-shot mobile phone screensaver

4. Sometimes the subject we want to show is not an individual, maybe you want to show a large panorama, then you need to choose a larger f value and more focus.

When the f value is too large, the picture will darken, so you need to adjust the brightness in relatively bright scenes or by reducing the shutter speed, increasing the ISO value (note that a large ISO value will reduce the image quality), or increasing the exposure compensation.

Solid color background enlarges aperture

When the subject is the whole picture, choose a larger f value and more focus.

To sum up, what I want to say today is "between the virtual and the real". The truth learned from the paper is not profound. No matter how much you say, you need to put it into practice in order to understand the mystery.

You can try to take three pictures with the minimum, maximum and central f value of your camera without moving the M file completely under the chaotic background.

In the pure color (pure white / pure black) background, all the values are completely fixed M file, with your camera minimum, maximum, center f value to shoot three works.

I believe that after taking these six photos, you can understand the relationship between deficiency and reality.
