Love of photography, are you ever fascinated by the kind of forest seclusion of nature, when the sunlight through the trees, scattered a little starlight, such a blockbuster, who does not love it! But again, why many masters can shoot these photos how good, this is a skill, let me tell you.

1, shoot the light through the forest

When the sun penetrates the woods, due to the leaves and branches blocked, so the formation of a beam of light through the forest, this light is some photographers called "Jesus holy light", can add a sense of holiness for the picture. The light is called "Jesus' light" by some photographers, which can add a sense of holiness to the picture.

To shoot such a subject, it is best to choose the early morning or dusk, when the sun shines diagonally into the woods, to get the best picture effect. In actuality, you can shoot with the backlight facing the light, or you can shoot with the side light parallel to the light.

In terms of exposure, you can take the brightness of the light in the forest as the basis for shooting a dark-toned photo, set off the light in the forest; you can also add 1 to 2 stops of exposure compensation on this basis, so that the picture more details.

Backlighting the forest beams and increasing the exposure compensation by 1 stop makes the picture have a sense of beams and more details, and there is a significant contrast between light and darkness in the picture

The forest beams give a sacred feeling against the dark background, and can be reduced by decreasing the exposure compensation to suppress the light. When shooting, you can reduce the exposure compensation to darken the background

Focal length: 30mm┆ Aperture: F9┆ Shutter speed: 1/12s┆ Sensitivity: ISO800

2. Shooting Tree Trunks to Show Their Tenacity

In addition to the overall depiction of the trees, there should be some expressive local close-ups to highlight some of the trees. close-ups to highlight some of the characteristics of the trees. For example, also to the trunk of the local close-up, rough trunk, although it does not have a sense of beauty, but can be very good to show the trees tenacious vitality.

Adopting a lower camera position and looking up to shoot from an elevated perspective, with a clean sky as the background, and irradiated by the sidelight, the obvious contrast between light and darkness shows the roughness of the tree trunks and their strange shapes

3. To show the beauty of light and shadow, shoot the tree shadow

Simply shooting a tree is monotonous, so you can use the surrounding environment to set off the tree and beautify the picture. Usually, you can choose to shoot at sunset, the setting sun's afterglow dyed the sky red, the trees in the picture is processed into the form of silhouette, the overall picture is very beautiful, and the trees are also very prominent, the feeling of light and shadow is very obvious.

The silhouette form is used to strengthen the shape and outline of the trees. The sunlight through the leaves creates dappled light and warm gradient colors, which makes the sunset picture more beautiful

4. Backlighting to show the silhouette of the trees

Shooting with silhouette effect can dilute the details of the subject and strengthen the shape and outline of the subject. Trees usually have a streamlined main trunk and complex branch trunks, and photographers can take advantage of this feature of trees by choosing a colorful sky as a backdrop and treating the trees in the foreground as silhouettes. In the dense branches of trees will show a scattered, large and small branches shuttle each other's effect, and the branches are drawn like a fine pattern pattern, gorgeous, in the sparsely presented handsome and beautiful appearance.

1.Photographing Translucent Leaves

1.Photographing Translucent Leaves

When photographing leaves against light, it is important to take a picture of them in the backlight. p>Backlighting the leaves can give you a translucent effect. When shooting, should try to use a large aperture telephoto lens to compress the depth of field, while deflating the messy background, so that you can focus on highlighting the leaves in the picture, the dark background can create a strong contrast between light and dark. If necessary, you need to add a hood to the lens so that stray light does not enter the lens and affect the picture.

With the compression of the telephoto lens, the leaves as the main body in the small depth of field image are very prominent, and the image looks concise and powerful. The photographer chose the dark background to set off the yellow leaves, which better highlights the transparent texture of the leaves

2, Special shapes

If you don't have good conditions to shoot the forest, you can look for some special shapes in the forest. At this point, we do not even need to use any other fancy techniques to show it, but just faithfully record it, which in itself is already an excellent work.

Using a telephoto lens to take a close-up of a young leaf, its special shape and texture are very clear and realistic in a small depth of field, and the details are sharp and prominent, giving the viewer a strong visual impression

Focal length: 60mm┆ Aperture: F11┆ Shutter speed: 1/200s┆ Sensitivity: ISO100

3, with a Dark background to highlight the subject

Like shooting flowers, we can also use a black background to set off the subject leaves. When shooting outdoors, we can make full use of the shadows produced by the natural light as a background, thus easily creating a sense of mystery with a dark or even black background.

Shooting red leaves in the shade, using light to make the background and the leaves form a contrast between light and dark, not only makes the leaves clearly distinguishable from the rest of the scene, but also makes the red maple leaves appear more prominent against the dark background Focal length: 200mm┆ Aperture: F5.6┆ Shutter speed: 1/400s┆ Sensitivity: ISO100

4. The beauty of dead leaves

With the coming of autumn and winter, yellow leaves can be seen everywhere, and as long as you pay attention to them carefully, they are also excellent shooting materials. Usually, you can use a small depth of field and light effects to show the atmosphere of the passing years.

5. The most interesting corner

When we are in the woods, we often feel that there is no way to shoot green leaves. When we are in the woods and want to take pictures of the green leaves, we often feel that there is nothing we can do, either too much clutter, or the picture is crowded and difficult to distinguish between the major and minor, which is mainly a problem of composition.

When shooting, don't always think of all the branches and leaves to shoot all, we can find a corner of the leaves, let it occupy the screen about 2/3 of the space, while the other areas are as white as possible, if the background is really more cluttered, then you can use a large aperture or a long focal length will be the background of the bokeh in order to highlight the performance of the subject.

When shooting in a dense forest, often due to the lack of light, resulting in a dark picture or a lower shutter speed, at this time you can use the flash to fill the light, but in order to avoid reflective traces on the leaves, it is best to be able to use a soft mask to soften the light of the flash processing. In addition, we can also increase the exposure compensation to brighten the image.

The poplar leaves in the picture are sparse and dense, and under the blue sky, the picture looks very clean and transparent

Backlight shooting of the red maple leaves, the water vapor is rendered into a golden yellow color by the sun, which is very beautiful in the background
