Spring Flowers Photo Fixing Tips
Springtime is almost here in much of the US, and with that season comes the opportunity to photograph an array of beautiful flowers in public parks, gardens and along hiking trails. Some photo fixing tips can help make the most of your springtime flower shots.
One of the most common approaches to photographing flowers is to use a macro lens or your camera's close-up mode. This allows you to fill the frame with the most interesting parts of the flower while "weeding out" the background. This presents some unique challenges, though, because the depth of field is quite narrow, depending on how close to the subject you are. So you need to think a lot about the composition of your shot. If you want to keep as much in focus as possible, you should consider all the ways that you can control depth of field, including aperture settings, lens focal length, and distance.
