By playing with light, you can achieve some very pretty effects. But first you need to be aware of your surroundings.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1d86ab0\" data-block-id=\"1d86ab0\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">If you photograph in a botanical garden, for example, as I did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/botanic-exotic-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">with the Roscoff botanical and exotic garden<\/a>There will be no particular problems, as the garden is quite open to natural light. Even when photographing succulents in the greenhouse, the translucent greenhouse regulates the light perfectly, so there are no violent 'direct' rays of sun or even harsh shadows. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-43fd79a\" data-block-id=\"43fd79a\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>So it's a pretty practical place to train after all.<\/strong>.

With that in mind \ud83d\ude09 and if you do a lot of plants or flowers, <strong>a macro lens will be very useful and practical<\/strong> with a focal length of up to f\/32, for example, which will give you good control over depth of field (very short or deep background blur).<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-c82b0a6\" data-block-id=\"c82b0a6\"><style>.stk-c82b0a6 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-c82b0a6-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-dbc2105\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"dbc2105\"><style>.stk-dbc2105-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;}.stk-dbc2105 {align-self:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-dbc2105-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-dbc2105-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-b8cd2ba\" data-block-id=\"b8cd2ba\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-left\">Unless you have a macro lens, <strong>you can use alternative solutions such as extension tubes<\/strong> which will move your sensor away from the lens and allow you to get closer and magnify your subject.

Compact cameras are a bit like smartphones in that they can shoot up close. I'd advise you to check whether they can capture images as Raw files so that you can develop them to your liking later on.

This is a very important element, which in my opinion <strong>comes immediately after depth of field<\/strong>. With today's digital technology, it's very practical to be able to play around with the different cropping\/composition tools in software, to switch from landscape to portrait mode, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-d97e811\" data-block-id=\"d97e811\"><style>.stk-d97e811 {margin-bottom:43px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">It's easy to do, undo and redo until you get a satisfactory result, by varying the composition tool, such as the rule of thirds, the Fibonacci spiral and so on. There's no end to the things you can do and try out... take advantage of this to find the ideal composition for your style and the emotion you want to convey.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-fefacdb\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"fefacdb\"><style>.stk-fefacdb {align-self:center !important;}@media screen and (min-width:690px) and (max-width:999px){.stk-fefacdb {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-fefacdb-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-fefacdb-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-fbf6467 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"fbf6467\"><style>.stk-fbf6467 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;font-size:12px !important;}.stk-fbf6467 {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;box-shadow:0px 70px 90px -20px #4849794d !important;margin-bottom:15px !important;}.stk-fbf6467:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-fbf6467 .stk-img-figcaption{font-size:12px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-255337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Aloes.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Aloe shadensis,\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\"><em>Aloe shadensis<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-0c6b4a5\" id=\"5-utiliser-un-filtre-polarisant\" data-block-id=\"0c6b4a5\"><style>.stk-0c6b4a5 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">5. Use a polarising filter <\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-34103cf\" data-block-id=\"34103cf\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">So far we've talked about photographing in soft, diffused light, without direct sunlight, in the shade of a forest. But <strong>what to do in bright daylight<\/strong>in a fairly exposed garden?  <strong>Couldn't we use rays of light in the background, in the blur of the photo, to create an effect, a context?<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-54d1900\" data-block-id=\"54d1900\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">That's where the usefulness of the polarising filter comes in. Why this filter?<strong> \"the filter <\/strong>which allows you to limit, eliminate or, I prefer to say, control reflections and use them to your advantage to progress in your art. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-250641a\" data-block-id=\"250641a\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>Shutter speed can be increased to reduce exposure <\/strong>during capture, <strong>it also allows you to take photos with your hands raised<\/strong> but sometimes that's not enough, <strong>when plants and flowers have a shiny surface texture<\/strong> <strong>or hairy<\/strong>. Reflections will persist, and this is where it will be essential to use a polarising filter on your lens. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-34220d3\" data-block-id=\"34220d3\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The advantage of this filter is that it eliminates reflections while<strong> increasing the contrast and intensity of the colours a little too<\/strong>. Which is not insignificant in certain situations. <strong>What's more, it will make us lose a little light, which is just perfect in the context of hard lighting.<\/strong> we're talking about here. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-28e5c50\" data-block-id=\"28e5c50\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">These are the 5 tips I wanted to share with you in this article.
