Life In A Snapshot

Flowers are one of my favorite subjects but I sometimes end up frustrated with my photos. Here’s 8 ways I find helpful in shooting flowers and will definitely bear those in mind the next time I go out and shoot flowers.

Eight Tips for Photographing Flowers:

1. Use a Tripod
2. Wait for an overcast or cloudy sky
3. Position your camera’s sensor so it’s parallel to the most important plane of the flower
4. Use shutter speed of 1/200 or faster
5. Find a good flower with a good background
6. Find a flower that’s good in shape
7. Use a telephoto lens with a minimum focusing distance
8. Use the RGB histogram to check exposure – not the LCD
