Light is everything
1
Choose a day when there’s plenty of warm, natural light. Early morning or late afternoon are ideal to avoid deep shadows.
Tell the story of the seasons
2
Head out when the colours of spring, summer and autumn are at their most intense. Use this natural palette to contrast or harmonise.
Use the ‘rule of thirds’ to frame your image
3
This common photographer’s approach divides the image into a 3x3 grid and it can help you think about composition.
Keep it steady
4
A macro lens will help you to get up close. A wide aperture will allow for a shallow depth of field to blur the background while a tripod will ensure a shaky hand doesn’t ruin the shot.
It’s all in the detail
5
Plant photography is an opportunity to explore the micro detail of flora. Tiny veins, drops of dew, the edge of a crispy autumnal leaf: small is beautiful.
Consider the background
6
If you are trying macro photography ensure that your chosen subject remains the focus by avoiding too much visual noise in the background.
