Here are some of the key points of super fantasy macro flower photography: * * 1. Equipment related ** 1. * * Screen Selection ** - The macro lens was the ideal choice for shooting, such as the Nikon 105mm f/2.8, Canon 105mm f/2.8, etc. If you only want to shoot static flowers, you can also choose a macro lens with a shorter focal length. Some lenses could provide 1:1 magnification, which was good for shooting small objects and dealing with bad weather. - If there was no macro lens, accessories such as the transfer ring and close-up lens could also produce a macro effect, but professional macro lenses were better in terms of processing and performance. 2. * * Stabilizing Equipment ** - Using a tripod or finding a stable support was crucial. In floral macro photography, the slightest movement of the camera would cause the depth of field to change, the image to be blurred, or the focus to be unclear. A tripod not only kept the camera stable and gave a clear image, but it also gave the photographer time to study the light and composition. When there is no tripod, you can find a stable support in the shooting scene. 3. * * External light source ** - When shooting macro shots of flowers, the light was sometimes weak, such as cloudy days, rainy days, or prime time in the morning and evening. Due to the small size of the flowers, the surrounding light may not be enough to show the details and colors of the flowers. External light sources such as hot shoe flashlights and external flashlights (ring flashlights are preferred) are better choices because they can adjust the position and have more control. The camera's built-in flash (such as a pop-up flash) illuminated the subject from the front, which easily exposed the flower body. If used, it could be used with a diffusing device to make the light uniform. * * 2. Shooting Techniques ** 1. * * Focus Method ** - He used the method of composing the picture first and then manually selecting the focus point. There was a cosine-error in autofocus, and it was easy to lose focus in macro shots due to the depth of the scene. By composing the picture first and then manually focusing, it could avoid blurring the parts that you wanted to be clear and sharp. - Choose the single-point single-focus mode. The focus requirements for macro shooting are harsh. Automatic continuous focus may cause the focus accuracy to be insufficient and the subject to be unclear. 2. * * About exposure ** - Use manual exposure mode and focus manually. Try different combinations of aperture and shutter speed under lighting conditions to find the right setting. For specific lighting conditions, you can keep the same camera setting and only change it when the ambient light level changes. - Choose a suitable light measuring point. When using single-point focus, the focus point is the light measuring point. For example, when shooting flowers under the sun, measure the light at the brightest part of the flower, and the dark part can be adjusted later. If you measure the light at the dark part, the bright part may overflow and cannot be restored later. 3. * * Shutter Speed ** - The shutter speed had to be fast. Even the slightest movement of the flowers during macro shooting will affect the shooting effect. You can use aperture priority mode to shoot in well-lit, windless or breezy weather. In order to ensure a high-speed shutter when the light is insufficient, the camera needs to increase the USB value. With the tripod, the camera can be stabilized to the maximum extent. 4. * * Aperture setting ** - Don't open the aperture to the maximum. Although a large aperture with a shallow depth of field was standard for macro photography, the depth of field at the maximum aperture might only be a few millimeters. When shooting close-ups of flowers, it might cause some clear and blurred parts. It was necessary to shrink the aperture back a little to increase the depth of field, so that the parts of the flowers to be shown were clear. * * 3. Shooting time and composition ** 1. * * Shooting time ** - Before 9 am and after 4 pm was the best time to shoot outdoor flowers. The light was soft and moderate, reflecting the rich layers and fresh texture of the petals. It was best in the early morning, when there was soft light, dew, and dewdrops decorating the flowers. 2. * * Composing Skills ** - When composing a picture, you can use the usual composition method. Move the focus to the position you want to focus on and then press the shutter. You can also find elements such as lines from the picture to compose, such as using vines as rhythmic lines, shooting when insects climb to the right position, or emphasizing the eyes of insects to make a story-telling work.

Lighting for macro photography refers to the technology and equipment used to illuminate small objects at close range. The goal was to create a perfect balance between shadows and highlights to highlight the beauty of the subject and reveal its subtle differences, allowing the photographer to evoke emotions and tell stories in the image by controlling the interaction between light and the subject. In macro photography, proper lighting was very important. Light affected all aspects of photography, such as color, contrast, focus, and depth of the image. The subjects of macro photography were often small and fragile. Some subjects were easy to disappear in the shadows or overexposed under strong light. Precise control of light could convey the beauty, texture, and details of the subject, giving the audience an intimate experience of the subject. The key concepts of macro photography lighting are as follows: 1. ** Strength **: It measures the intensity of the light shining on the subject. By adjusting the intensity, you can create a dynamic range of brightness and contrast in the macro photo, shaping the visual effect. 2. ** Direction **: The direction of the light is like the angle at which the performer on the stage projects the light. It determines the position of the shadows and highlights on the subject. Different angles will greatly change the mood and visual texture of the photo. 3. ** Diffuse **: Can be regarded as a natural light softening filter. Using a diffusing device or regulator to disperse light could reduce the glare of shadows and produce soft and uniform illumination on the entire subject. It was an important means to achieve a delicate balance between light and shadow. 4. ** Color temperature **: It is measured in Kelvin. It is similar to the filter in the photo application. It can determine whether the macro lens is warm (gold) or cold (blue). Mastering the color temperature helps to convey emotions and atmosphere through the interaction of light. 5. ** contrast **: refers to the contrast between the brightest and darkest areas in the image. The use of contrast can enhance the dramatic effect, emphasize the texture, and draw the audience's attention to specific details, thus creating a visual narrative. The lighting equipment used in macro photography included flashes. The flash at the top of the camera is more convenient, but pay attention to its strong shadows. You can use a diffusing device to soften its effect to achieve balanced lighting. In the actual shooting, different lighting conditions had different shooting techniques. For example, it was more suitable to shoot macro shots on cloudy days. The light was uniform, the light ratio was balanced, and the composition was good. On sunny days, due to the influence of clouds, trees, buildings, etc., there would be high and dark light areas. The subject should be selected to be shot with more uniform light. If it was all in the sun, the picture could be taken with less exposure to preserve the details, and the brightness could be repaired later. The lighting in the room was more complicated, and the principle of choosing a scene with uniform lighting was also followed. There were also some special lighting techniques, such as using fairy tale lights (miniature LED lights) for creative macro photography. Fairy lights came in many colors, and different colors would bring different tones to the photo. Because the fairy tale lights were not very bright compared to the ambient light, it was necessary to shoot later in the day. If the subject had shadows or it was cloudy, the shooting could start a few minutes before sunset. When using fairy lights, the lens aperture is usually selected to be as large as possible (such as f/2.8). After measuring the subject, the image can be deliberately underexposed. You can also use a macro lens or a fast lens such as 50mm f/1.8. When using the fairy tale lamp, the lamp can be placed directly behind or in front of the main body. When placed at the back, the shooting distance will be shortened if it is under high magnification or large aperture. The distance should be increased if it is further away from the subject or when using a narrow aperture. When placed in front, it should be close enough to the lens to maintain out-of-focus. In the case of insufficient light, using a flash is a better choice. When there is sufficient light, you can achieve pure natural light shooting, but sometimes in order to achieve certain shooting effects, you can use light even if there is sufficient light, such as to highlight the subject, simplify the messy background, or to make the subject appear special (such as when shooting a young ladybug that has just shed its skin). On the other hand, if there is enough light in the environment, do not use the light when it should not be used. You can judge whether the light is used from the perspective of the subject's eyes and legs. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
There were a few things to note when taking macro photography of bees: ** I. Equipment and Equipment ** 1. ** Cameras ** - ** Shutter Speed **: When shooting bees, because bees are often in constant motion, it is usually possible to set the shutter above the safety shutter (the inverse of the focal length of the lens). However, for the sake of shooting safety, it is recommended to keep the shutter value above 1/320 (at least 1/250) when the aperture is around f/8 - 11. This can meet the requirements of static and flying bee shooting. - ** Aperture setting **: The macro lens is set at f/8. When shooting from a relatively far distance (relatively close macro shooting), as long as the focus is accurate, it is relatively easy to grasp the focal plane. However, during the shooting, it was important to pay attention to the focal plane to include as much of the main content as possible. - ** Metering mode **: It is recommended to use the spot mode. Because in macro photography, the scene covered by the shot was usually local and very small, the spot dimming mode (or the local dimming mode of old digital cameras) was more suitable than the weighed dimming mode (evaluation dimming or matrix dimming). The weighed dimming mode was suitable for shooting large scenes. - ** Shooting Distance **: Try to get as close as possible to take a close-up shot with the macro lens. For example, let the flowers take up more than half of the shot (at least 1/3), plus the bees, the shot can basically reach the full frame. Try to avoid using the "secondary composition" in the later stages and perform a large cut to achieve the "macro shot" effect. 2. ** Phone ** - The macro mode of the phone also had certain advantages when shooting bees. For example, the accuracy of autofocus might be better than the camera head. When shooting still bees, it did not require too much technology to directly adjust to macro mode. However, if the camera was equipped with a macro head, it might produce a more professional effect under ideal conditions. ** 2. Shooting Techniques ** 1. ** Focus and focal plane ** - With the bee's eyes as the focal point, adjusting the shooting angle in time to make the focal plane contain as much content as possible was one of the most important parts of macro photography. 2. ** Shooting timing ** - If the bees were always unable to fly, they could choose to go out at 5 a.m. to shoot. At this time, many bees were not active, so it was easier to shoot. 3. ** Picture composition ** - You could use a composition method that combined insects with lines. For example, you could use vines as rhythmic lines and shoot when the insects climbed to the right position. Let a line run through the picture and embellish the insects. This way, the insects would look cute and beautiful. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Here are some macro photography methods: - ** Choice of angle **: For example, when shooting insects, you can find a unique angle to highlight the main features. For example, when shooting damselflies, you can highlight their big eyes and find a suitable angle to express the photographer's feelings. - ** Picture composition technique **: In terms of composition, you can use the line composition method. Let a line run through the picture and embellish it with insects. For example, use vines as rhythmic lines. When the insects climb to the appropriate position, you can shoot them to make them look cute and beautiful. - ** Shooting timing **: If the subject is insects, which are easy to fly away, you can choose to go out and shoot around 5 a.m. At this time, most insects have not started to move, so it is easy to shoot. - ** Using the camera's characteristics **: - ** Use macro lens **: Professional macro lens has its unique advantages. Its image sharpness is extremely high, with a 1:1 or higher magnification. The closest focusing distance can reach 30mm-50mm. It can shoot at a close distance to enlarge the details and show a new microscopic world. In addition to macro, it can also take into account various subjects such as skits and portraits. - ** Consider lens replacement **: Close-up lenses can be installed in front of the lens as a replacement for macro lenses, but the image quality will be reduced and the control will be more complicated. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The book,"Microscope photography and business cases," used examples as the main thread to share the professional photography techniques of macro photography with readers and answer common questions for beginners. For example, in macro photography, there were many techniques for shooting common subjects such as insects. If the timing was good, such as in the morning, evening, after the rain, cold weather, when insects were eating or mating, they were relatively quiet and easy to shoot. If the insects flew away, they could stay in place (because they had the habit of nostalgia like dragonflies) and wait for them to come back. They could also find insect breeders to obtain more filming opportunities. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the insects, they could take temporary enforcement measures to calm down the disobedient insects, or they could create their own filming environment. In terms of equipment, he mentioned the shooting parameters of different equipment such as the D700 with the Tenglong 90mm macro lens and the Nikon 105VR macro lens, such as aperture, exposure time, and so on. In terms of mobile macro photography, the entry-level players had to understand the macro function skills of the mobile phone, choose the right subject, maintain stability, and use natural light. In order to advance, they had to learn to use an external macro lens, manually focus, adjust exposure, use background blurring, etc. There were also examples and parameters for different scenes. These were all knowledge that macro photography could apply to business cases or daily photography. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The macro lens had a unique effect when shooting beautiful women. 1. Choice of camera lens 1. ** Canon RF100mm F2.8L macro lens ** - The price was 7899 yuan, and its magnification was increased to 1.4 times. When the aperture was fully opened, the center image quality was very good. Although the edge image quality was not ideal, the lens itself had good detail resolution, and it was even better under a small aperture. The color performance was excellent. It had a Sa control ring that could control the blurring effect of the image. The focusing speed was very fast, and the dispersion control was very good. It could also take care of some portrait shots. However, there was a slight glare when shooting against the light. 2. ** Nikon 105mm F2.8G VR macro lens (used)** - The price was between 2500 to 3000 yuan. This was a classic Nikon lens with an F-mount for a single-lens reflex. It had high sharpness and good color reproduction. In addition to macro photography, he could also shoot portraits and skits. 3. ** Canon ESF100F2.8 IS USM macro lens (second-hand)** - The price was between 3500 and 4500 yuan. It had a lot of users. It had dual IS optical image stabilization, good sharpness and out-of-focus performance, and ideal autofocus speed for macro shooting. It was suitable for macro and portrait shooting. Second, the shooting points 1. ** Focus ** - Because the depth of field of macro photography was very shallow, it was necessary to ensure precise focus when shooting beautiful women. It can be manually focused, and the image can be enlarged on the display to ensure the accuracy of the focus. 2. ** In terms of composition ** - You can use the characteristics of the macro lens to highlight the local features of the beauty, such as eyes, lips, etc., just like shooting insects to highlight their eyes, through close-up to express a unique beauty. You can also combine the beauty with the surrounding elements, such as letting the hair echo the surrounding lines (such as branches and other similar elements) to create a unique composition effect. 3. ** Setting of parameters ** - The shutter speed needed to be determined according to the shooting scene. If the beauty was still, the shutter speed could be lowered to ensure the picture quality. If there was a slight movement, the shutter speed needed to be increased to avoid blurring. In addition, pay attention to the influence of the aperture size on the depth of field and blurring effect. A large aperture can obtain a shallow depth of field and highlight the main body, but pay attention to the edge quality. 4. ** Replenishing Light ** - If the shooting environment is not good and the shutter speed is fast, or if you want to ensure the quality of the picture, you can use a portable LED light to fill in the light to highlight the beauty's facial contours and skin texture. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Here are some unique macro photography methods: 1. ** Choice of lens **: A macro lens is a better choice. A normal lens's magnifying ratio has to reach 1:2 or even 1:1 to be considered a true macro lens. A lens between 100mm is called a 100mm lens. 2. ** Focus Method ** - Manual focus was a better way to shoot at close range. However, when it was difficult to determine whether the subject was in focus or not with manual focus, the live view function could be turned on and the focus could be magnified by ten times to achieve accurate focus. - When you can't focus on a close-up object, you can use the camera's macro mode. 3. ** Light usage ** - He could use a flash and a soft light cover to soften the light. - Using a reflective board to illuminate the camera could make the subject (such as the fruit on the tree) brighter and more dynamic. - Natural light could also be used to supplement it. - When shooting static macro subjects, you can use low sensitivity to ensure the quality of the picture. When shooting dynamic subjects such as flying bees and butterflies, you need to use a higher shutter speed (generally choose 1/250s or above) to ensure the clarity of the moving state. 4. ** Shooting angle and settings ** - When shooting insects, they were usually shot from the opposite side of the subject. - As a beginner, you might want to enlarge the subject, but it should also be moderate. - Pressing the shutter when shooting with a hand-held camera would cause vibration. You could set a delayed selfie to solve the problem of vibration. - He clamped the macro camera on the main camera, and the lens slowly approached the subject. He used two fingers to enlarge the image to a suitable size, and then pressed the screen to lock the exposure before shooting. - After shooting, spray some water (if the subject is suitable for spraying water) to increase the effect. 5. ** Other aspects ** - Focus as precisely as possible because the focal range of a macro photo is very small. - Using a stable tripod, macro photography is generally slow. You can set the parameters according to the modified "Sunlight 11 Rule"(in clear sunlight, when shooting a fully illuminated close-up object, the aperture corresponding to f11, the speed should be 1/USB). - Carefully come up with ideas before shooting, clean up the surrounding environment, use beautiful sculptures to highlight the plants (use a wide-angle lens to show the surrounding environment, use a small depth of field to isolate the plants from the surrounding environment, or use a tilting lens to make the background more out of focus but ensure that the background can be identified), or even artificial rainfall, capture spores, etc. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Canon DSLR cameras can be used to shoot macro photos by pressing the macro button (the icon of this button is a flower and two leaves, located next to the MENU button). In old-fashioned cameras, the macro button might be on the lens. In Canon DSLR cameras, the macro button was usually located on the right side of the camera. Below it was the focus mode selection button, and above it was the light measurement mode selection button. When using it, you need to set the camera to macro mode first, then press the macro button, and the lens will enter the macro shooting mode, which can magnify the subject to a ratio of 1:1 or larger, but pay attention to the adjustment of the focusing distance to ensure that the subject is clear. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In macro photography, the soft light board was very useful. When taking flash macro shots, the soft light board was tied to the front of the lens. The light would become softer after being diffused by the soft light board. This way, when shooting objects such as insects, it could take high-definition, low-shadow, and clear and sharp photos. When shooting under natural light, if a soft light board (such as a soft light board made of white thin plastic cloth or a waterproof cloth) was used between the sun and the object, it could soften the light and reduce the contrast. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The flower language of the Dreamy Cloud Flower was " dream, beautiful dream, beautiful fantasy." This flower is often described as a beautiful and dreamy flower. Its fragrance makes people feel comfortable and happy. It is often used to symbolize the beautiful and romantic fantasies and dreams in people's hearts. In literary works, the epiphyllum was often used to express the delicate feelings and beautiful dreams of women's hearts. It had a very romantic meaning.
