Nature Photography – Glow


Four rules I always remember when shooting flowers or other foliage outdoors.


  • Cloudy or overcast days work best to provide soft even lighting for flowers.
  • Control your depth of field by using Aperture Priority (Av) mode.
  • Make sure your shutter speed is high enough to freeze any motion caused by the wind.
  • Shoot low to capture those unusual angles.

The exposure was taken at 105mm, f/4 for 1/180th of a second at ISO 100 on Lexar Professional digital film. Post capture processing was done in Lightroom 2 using Nik Software's Color Efex Pro filters. Click on the image above for a larger version.
