Garden Photography

Dear Viewers and Fellow Photographers,

Garden Photography is not a simple one-time topic. It consists of many areas, for example some sorts of Weddings or celebrations to the flowers. The Garden is an area full of photographic success for many reasons:

The Garden, normally is an area full of colours and themes. You can add a huge amount of detail to the photos such as field of view to give it an extremely amazing effect. In the first picture you can see how the background gives the overall picture a somewhat 'beautiful' effect. The picture has a natural beauty effect which nowadays is not really available to lots of us.

In order to get such a great effect from your photos, you have to remember to have your subject of the photo in line with the background of the whole composition. Also you have to remind yourself how much effect the background has on the entire photo, and try to introduce different colours, and also try not to have a skyline or a definate outline to it, this enables the photo to keep it's wonder and heaven-like feature. Also, if you have more time to take the photo, try to keep colours in the background contrasting from your second object, in this case the flowers, and if you can, you might even make it the same colour as the first object in your photo. This combines the whole photo together.

This links into the use of flowers in your photos, this is well represented by this photo:
My own photo
This is a photo taken in Italy, near the Bay of Naples. It is from a famous tree type found in Italy, nicknamed 'The Blood Red' tree in Latin, due to a fable how Satan was hung on the tree and the tree had absorbed the blood leading to the colour of it. You can see the photo has a blurred out background and you can see the importance a background can give to a photo.

There are many examples of this on the internet which can inspire you to keep the background vivid in Garden Photography.

Yours Truly,
Snapography.
