The photography skills shared by Shi Mo can be used by both mobile phones and cameras.
So, what are you waiting for-
The cold winter is a good time for wax plum to bloom.
Wax plum is one of the native plants that I have had since ancient times. It has a long history of cultivation and is loved by literati and artists.
The wax plum is in full bloom, are you ready to shoot **?If you just take a "flower headshot" of wax plum, it doesn't seem to be interesting.
Since it is a shoot, of course, I want to shoot ** a little more advanced and look better than others.
Then ......How?
Figure 1: Since wax plum is a native plant with a long history, it is very suitable for photographing "classical temperament".
In this issue of photography review, Shi Mo summarized four photography mantras-
Wax plum shoots classical beauty, imitating Chinese painting and leaving it blank.
With the ancient building part, the combination of virtual and real is more interesting.
The wax plum ** is photographed with classical beauty, and the photo method is simple and easy to learn. Just use your mobile phone or camera to leave a "winter plum shadow".
Figure 2: Chinese culture is broad and profound, and there are many representative works with classical beauty, such as Chinese paintings.
The most common creative method of traditional Chinese ink painting is to leave blank space.
Blank space is to leave a large area of blank space. It can leave room for the reader's imagination. For example, the clouds and mist between the mountains and rivers, and the misty mist on the water surface. The large area of blank space can make the picture shift from realism to freehand, which can stimulate the reader's imagination and increase the artistic conception of the picture.
The shape of the branches that bend in the wax plum song is also very suitable for the beauty of the lines of Chinese painting. Leaving the picture blank in the direction of the growth of the branches will give the beauty of the lines extending forward.
The flowers on the branches are a symbol of vitality. Stretching forward, vibrant.
Figure 3: When the weather is nice, shoot upwards and use the blue sky as the background.
The blue sky sets off the golden wax plum, there is a color contrast, and the background of the photography is clean and concise.
Figure 4 is taken with a backlit or side-lit photograph, when there is light on the flowers, but there is no light on the background of the photograph, the background is dim.
We can use the method of "spot metering + reduction ** compensation" to shoot the effect of a dark background, and other clutter in the background of photography is hidden in the shadows.
Figure 5: Several plums in the corner. Although it is written about plum blossoms, wax plums can also be planted on the wall.
Using white walls and red walls as the background for photography to set off Lamei is like painting on a blank piece of paper.
Highlight the beauty of the lines of the bends in the plum song. Vigorous and powerful, indomitable.
Figure 6 Wax plum blossoms bloom in winter and are fragrant. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also has the beautiful character of "not afraid of the cold" - such landscape plants, of course, will be loved by everyone.
Therefore, wax plum is often planted around some ancient buildings. For example, the imperial gardens led by the Forbidden City, as well as other classical scenic spots.
Ancient Chinese architecture is the culmination of thousands of years of cultural essence. The ancient building has undergone the polishing of the years, carrying the memory of time and witnessing the changes of the times, which is both ancient and solemn.
And this year's newly blooming wax plum represents the vitality of the fresh vitality.
Wax plum with ancient buildings, there is an effect of dialogue between ancient and modern.
Fig. 7: When shooting, you can use the wax plum as the foreground, or you can shoot the wax plum outside the window through the Chinese-style openwork window.
Proper bokeh can create a sense of hierarchy.
By adjusting the position of the focal point, we can blur wax plums, as well as ancient buildings.
These two shooting methods have their own beauty and taste.
Figure 8 uses the wax plum as the foreground and then focuses on the wax plum.
The ancient buildings (windows) in the back were photographed to blur the effect.
Figure 9 uses chiaroscuro to make the ancient buildings in the background faint.
If you open the shooting distance, you can also shoot the effect of bokeh.
Figure 10 places the focus on the ancient building behind the wax plum, or on a part.
The wax plum in the foreground is the effect of blurring, adding a hazy and aesthetic feeling.
