The intellectual and colorful season is now, you should not miss the best season of a year, though we are facing the pandemic COVID19, but everything has a beginning will have an end.
Be sure to wear mask and keep social distance, do sanitize hands after touching public items, which can protect you from infection and have been proved effective in China, no matter how Mr. President ( Maybe I should add EX to it? ) said.
Alright, Let’s talk about the real SunFlower.
I added the Sun as an composition element into the frame in order to echo the sunflower, but directly using it will face the harsh light and strong shadows, so I observed the environment carefully and found some tall trees nearby, these trees provided a perfect lighting conditions for this project ( or idea ), and the golden hour brought amazing golden and warm mood to these works.
向日葵，如果单单只是向日葵就显得单薄许多，就像之前我说的。没有“日”（非脏话）的呼应，就不足以称为精彩的向日葵作品。把太阳直接加进构图会有很多问题，唯有通过巧妙的方法来避免这种情况出现，当然，这需要对环境有仔细观察才能发现。而且，运气也的确是一个非常重要的成分——这天阳光还不错，傍晚的色彩也还算让人满意。
My sunflower’s portraits must have a different perspective angle, I told myself, just like my Lotus’ Project, each time should have a new idea / theme, this time is Sun And Flower.
I came here in a sunny afternoon and waited here for the famous golden hour. Yes, golden hour, to shoot sunflowers just like most photographers do. But I had a vision which described a dreamy scene in my brain - golden sunlight echos with those golden sunflowers and using pretty golden bokeh as background.
To achieve this idea, first of all, I must familiar with the environment, I searched several places and tested some angles, here are the two test shots I satisfied with.
Next time I will post my successful works.
向日葵，与荷花一样，是被拍烂的主题，寻找新的视角新的创意很重要。绝大多数人都喜欢拍摄花田，当然，这需要先天条件好才可以。如果没有大片花田，倒不如试着拍摄特写。但是特写也存在被拍烂的问题，各种角度都有，长焦的，广角的，微距的，有蜜蜂的，有逆光的……而我这次的想法是，既然是向日葵，太阳为何不参与其中？为了实现这个，我提前入场寻找角度，试拍了一些，这两张是成功的试拍作品，下次会发正式照片。
