Shooting skill
Narrow the distance
As long as you are willing to get close, the plantain inflorescence at your feet can also be beautiful and moving.
"If you don't shoot well enough, you're not close enough." This famous saying by robert capa, a famous war correspondent, has become a necessary creed in photography courses. For natural macro photography, this is also the first criterion to follow. As long as we are good at discovering and approaching, we can open up a new world.
Simply put, of course, the closer the better. In a painting, a flower will have a stronger influence than several scattered flowers in most cases. Therefore, we should choose a flower and put it in the middle of the screen or at the golden section.
At the same time, we should pay attention to avoid prone shooting. "Quasi-God perspective" is not a good idea in nature photography. Sometimes, if you lie on the ground and choose a more charming angle, you may find something more unique.
Consider the angle

Control the depth of field by focusing on the material.
"I also want to take pictures of the empty background!" This question was my greatest wish when I first learned photography. Of course, it is also very simple. First, you need to know what "depth of field" is. Simply put, the depth of field is "the proportional range of clear patterns". The greater the depth of field, the clearer the background, and the smaller the depth of field, the more blurred the background.
Depth of field highlights details
1. The macro mode of turning on the camera or mobile phone is usually represented by a small flower, which can shorten the shooting distance as much as possible.
2. Modulate the focal length of the zoom lens to the maximum, that is, "zoom to the nearest".
3. If the camera has an aperture priority mode * * *, the letter A * * * is usually used to adjust the aperture value to the acceptable minimum * * * The aperture value is the smallest and the aperture is the largest, such as F4***.
4. Choose the closest distance to focus * * * Most cameras will have an auto-focus tone * * *, hold your hand firmly and press the shutter to live together!
Matters needing attention
1. Use a simple tripod. Of course, it also costs money ... but sometimes you can simply realize a "human tripod" with your surroundings or limbs: for example, fix the camera with stones around you, or put your elbows on the ground and so on.
2. Choose a windless moment. In windy weather, you can try to wait for the flowers to stop shaking, or you can block the wind with your body or clothes. * * * Remember not to block the light. Or use a very slow shutter speed, so that you can see the flowers moving when you press the shutter, you will see the trajectory of the flowers moving, and you will "see" the wind and have a different vision. Try this "watching the wind" method, maybe you will love this shooting method.
3. Increase the shutter speed. "Safe shutter speed" is generally 1/ focal length seconds. For example, for a 100mm lens, the safe shutter speed is1100 second. When the automatic mode can't get a clear image, you can choose the shutter priority mode * * * Usually the letter S stands for * * *, generally speaking. A shutter speed of 1/200 seconds or faster is enough to eliminate the influence of wind. In addition, improving the camera sensitivity * * * ISO * * is also one of the effective ways to ensure the shutter speed.
