Focus on something when you photo nature
When I am out and shooting in nature so I usually try to find a focus that I can concentrate on. One day I was out and took a long trip in Tyresta (english version) . Today’s focus had to be fungi and they do adapt to their environment and weather conditions. I think that is a focus i am getting some better pictures.
The first image was a picture of some Agaricales as I saw that photograph from underneath so that I had a backlight. That was also the case that I got some mushrooms underside.
I had to limit myself so that I focus on a particular type of images which allows me to develop precisely the knowledge and thoughts on how my pictures should be. I just took with me my Canon 50m: 1.8 lens, which I find increasingly better and better. Something that struck me directly is that I would like a flash that could provide an exciting light. More recently i have taken some nice pictures with LEDs. It would be interesting to see what they themselves could do.
The next picture was a few brittle, glassy small fungi who stuck up in a colony. Here it is important to have a slow shutter speed so that I get good color despite the poor light. Here you can have with you a bag of beans or use the terrain or something so the camera is stable and then put the camera on self-timer so you avoid camera shake.
Finally I found a lone mushroom next to a pine tree that I framed in with the surrounding terrain, and choose a relatively short depth of field to highlight the subject. The sharp benches are also in good contrast with the dark background. Also try to have a focus on something the next time you are out shooting. It need not even apply to natural photo. If you are shooting in town so maybe you can focus on one type of buildings or why not working on people. Think outside your usual photo and dare to give yourself a challenge. A different focus than you would normally have so you shoot a whole new type of images.
