This is a really simple way to make good looking flower photographs without spending hours on Photoshop or finding the perfect flower just to make your photograph stand out from the rest. Flowers have been photographed too many times before, so we need to make it more interesting, simple by adding water-droplets!
Pink Rose with water-droplets
| Camera: | DSLR-A350 |
| Exposure: | 1/125 |
| Aperture: | f/5.6 |
| Focal Length: | 70 mm |
| Exposure Bias: | +1 EV |
| ISO Speed: | 250 |
| Flash: | Off |
You’ll need:
- Camera – any really!
- Spray Bottle, with water
Cheap Spray Bottle
1.
- Firstly find the flower you want to photograph:
- Spray a small amount of water on the petals (make sure you have it on the right nozzle)
- No closer than 10 cm otherwise the droplets will form larger ones:
Spray a couple of times...
2.
- Experiment with angles (low, high, middle to the petals)
- Macro lenses are preferable, but not necessary, you could use a telephoto lens – great for D.O.F
- Here are some examples of mine, these are the raw shots – you could add a warming filter, etc
Low Angle
Neutral
High Angle
3.
- If close-ups of flowers aren’t that interesting you could try something similar to this:
- Spray upwards towards the light source:
Spary across over the light source
Example of what it could look like:
| Camera: | DSLR-A350 |
| Exposure: | 1/320 |
| Aperture: | f/9.0 |
| Focal Length: | 30 mm |
| Exposure Bias: | 0 EV |
| ISO Speed: | 100 |
| Flash: | Auto, Did not fire |
