<\/p>\n
Composing <\/b><\/p>\n
Macro images are usually captured at plant level, the flower itself will be the sole feature of the photograph. To get the best out of the image you should experiment with the angles in which you shoot the picture; get down low to shoot towards the ground, then try the opposite and shoot upwards, towards the sky. By changing the perspective you can create some truly unique imagery. Although the background will be blurred, it can alter the entire mood of the photo depending on the colours included; for example deep colours will create a much moodier atmosphere, whereas yellows and blues will give your image the fresh feeling of spring.<\/p>\n
Lighting Tips<\/b><\/p>\n
Macro flower photographs (like most subject matter) look spectacular when taken at sunset and sunrise; this can give your imagery a warm, ethereal or even spiritual atmosphere. Macro images taken throughout the day will vary substantially, as there will be an array of unique contrasts dependent on where the sun is located in the sky. Try to avoid shooting at midday, as this light can be incredibly unflattering \u2013 even flattening!<\/p>\n
Get Out There<\/b><\/p>\n
To create truly astounding images make sure that you take the time to get out there and find some wonderful flowers; although even plain leaves can look beautiful with the art of macro photography. Experiment and practise and you\u2019re sure to take some absolutely sensational spring flower photographs!<\/p>\n
