 Flower photography :-

           Flowers are without a doubt one of the most photographed subjects. It isn't hard to see why - we are surrounded by them, and their wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes mean that you rarely have to venture far before you find one that catches your eye.

Unfortunately, many people make fundamental errors when photographing flowers. This can result in shots that lack "punch", appearing much less interesting and vibrant than they did in person.

There are several principles that you can follow to give your flower photos more impact, capturing lots of detail and making them engaging to the viewer. By learning these guidelines, you'll be able to spot an underwhelming photo before you capture it, and reframe the shot in a more interesting way.

Get up early = great images :--

Before the sun heats up the land there is usually far less wind, enabling you to get close without risk of your 'daffodils dancing in the breeze', causing blur. 

Also, there is often dew on the plants (or frost in winter), which can add another dimension to your pictures


Be patient

You’ll capture better shots of flowers simply by waiting for the right moment. The weather plays a big role in outdoor macro photography shots. A cloudy day offers nice, even light that’s easy for even beginning photographers to work with. Shooting just after a rainstorm means nice water droplets on the photos, and foliage tends to have darker, more saturated colour when wet. Avoid windy days though, as the flowers need to stay still to get a sharp shot.

The time of day matters too. About an hour before sunset, the light is a nice soft glow. While cloudy days make it easy to get a good flower photo, shooting shortly before sunset or shortly after sunrise allows for different backlighting effects.


Get Down on Your Knees:

One of the most important things to remember is to change your point of view. As I am a frequent visitor to public gardens and other places with flowers, I see how many amateurs photograph flowers: they come close to it, look down from above and shoot then they move on to another subject. Wrong move!
