In recent days, in addition to rape blossom, cherry blossom is also in full bloom, which provides photography lovers with a wealth of shooting themes. In fact, for many photographers, they are very fond of cherry blossoms, so how to shoot cherry blossoms best? Do you know the shooting skills of cherry blossom?
1、 Equipment selection
Three axes for shooting flowers: big aperture, telephoto and macro. These three axes are also suitable for shooting cherry blossoms. The large aperture can make the background virtual and create a hazy background effect; the long focus lens can not only take pictures of cherry blossoms in the distance, but also have good virtual ability; the micro lens can take pictures of cherry blossoms in close range and show the beauty and elegance of cherry blossoms.
2、 Use of light
The use of light is very important for shooting flowers. If the use of light is less, the photos will not be brilliant. Taking pictures of cherry blossoms in a smooth environment can well show the elegance of cherry blossoms, but the overall expressiveness is not strong, giving people a kind of insipid feeling.
Shooting cherry blossoms in the side light environment can form a good light and shadow effect, and the overall effect should be more brilliant. When shooting cherry blossoms, you can use more side light for shooting, and the picture effect will be better. It's not easy to shoot cherry blossoms in backlight because the flowers are dense and the characteristics of the flowers are not strong, so it's not easy to form a good effect in backlight environment.

3、 Shooting skills
① Composition skills
Shooting flowers, such as nine palace composition, diagonal composition, middle composition and other composition techniques are very common. These basic composition techniques have been talked about many times, but I just repeat them here. Here is a point for you to pay attention to when shooting flowers.
Don't shoot flowers too full, leave some blank. If the picture is too full, there will be no focus, no sense of hierarchy, the whole picture will be disordered, appropriate white space will make the picture more concise, clear, will also make the picture clear.
