PB2: Production

Research findings on your chosen photographer and style:

“Flowers are willing subjects and lend themselves quite well to being photographed.  This much is evident when you look at the numerous photos of flowers posted on social media and photo sharing sites every day.  However, not all flower photographs are created equal.  As with any type of photography, there are general rules and guidelines, and tips and tricks to make the best images possible.  The basic idea is to make our photos stand out from the rest; to create something unique and inspiring; something with that “wow” factor.  Hopefully, these tips will provide at least a starting point to getting more creative images of flowers and inspire you to try techniques and ideas that you may not have tried before.  If nothing else, at least trying some of these will get us all out shooting more, and that can’t be a bad thing. ”

Some test shooting/experimentation：

Ideas on probable technical procedure for the shoot：

The theme of my PB2 is “Life As Flowers”.

I want to shoot the flowers in the different stage (such as beginning to bloom, blossoming, etc) to present my theme.

I choose the daily light to shoot for the original flower.

I took the photos with Canon 7D and 100-400 lens. The long lens can easily to shoot the details of the flowers.  The iso is around 125, f is 5.6, and the shutter speed is 1/500. I use the burst mode to record any details I want.
