How To Take Better Flower Photos
Flower Photo Tips
There are many ways that you can improve your flower photography, these are the main points that I have picked up over the years.
- Always use a diffuser to block out the harsh light falling on the flower in bright sunshine.
- Try to take photos of flowers on overcast days.
- Blur the background to allow your subject to stand out in your picture. Try using a macro lens or a large aperture to achieve a small depth of field.
- Avoid windy days to avoid motion blur.
- Look at the composition, have you correctly framed your subject? Try the thirds rule and have your flower in the bottom or to the right of the picture.
- Experiment in adverse weather conditions. Frost adds extra impact to your photos.
- Make sure you use the lowest ISO.
- Use a tripod to obtain pin sharp photographs.
- Make the flower the focal point in the photo, so that it is a portrait. Try filling the frame with the flower and have no background showing.
- Pay attention to what is in the background, you don’t want to have a label in your picture, do a little “gardening”, but be careful if you are not in your own garden.
- If you take a photo of more than one flower, try and make it an odd number.
- Look for flowers that are perfect, a nibbled petal looks tatty.
- Try for a different perspective, from below, from above, in profile. Experiment.
- Use the histogram on your camera to ensure that you have no clipping.
- Be creative with your lighting. Try backlit shots.
