Beautiful flowers are a pleasure just to look at, but as time passes they wither and die. You want to take and keep pictures of such flowers when they are in their full bloom. Here I took pictures of wild flowers blooming between the mountains, trying to give the picture a soft expression.
Shooting Mode: A (Aperture Priority Auto); Lens: 50 mm F2 Macro; Aperture: F5.6; Shutter Speed: 1/250 second; Exposure Compensation: +1.3; White Balance: 5300K; ISO: 800; Record Mode: SHQ; Metering Mode: ESP; Flash: Off; Location: Towada, Aomori prefecture; mid-May
Pay attention to the exposure when shooting white flowers
There are many beautiful white flowers. The flowers come in many shapes and tones, but to bring out its full beauty in the picture, you need to adjust the exposure. The amount of exposure compensation will vary depending on the color of the flowers, their size and framing in the picture, and the lighting conditions. Use the exposure compensation to adjust the exposure and take beautiful pictures of white flowers. However, if you set the exposure too bright, there may be light or white areas in the picture that are overexposed. Pay attention so this does not happen with the white flowers that are the main subject.

Control the aperture to make the most of the blurred background
Macro lenses are very useful when shooting flowers. Getting up close to the flower will blur the background at the same time. Blurring the background brings out even more the flower that is the main subject, and by adjusting the aperture, you can control the area that will be in focus and the degree of blur of the background. In this picture the aperture was closed down a bit to try to capture clearly the flower we aimed at.
