Pictures of the most beautiful and distinctive spring

Spring is the season of beauty, radiance, and renewal, and from this point of view, its association with photography is more solid, as it is possible to record these beautiful moments in our own pictures.
Our creative potential contributes to determining its path and the extent of its distinction

Despite the importance of some of the pictures taken in standing light and gloomy atmosphere. In the fall and winter, but most photographers find in the atmosphere of spring and the light that this season provides, better conditions for photography, as they can obtain greater ability to control exposure, with a choice of shutter speeds and stops. A distinctive feature that helps them achieve multiple creative effects.

In the summer, when the bright light does not allow taking good natural pictures, the colors tend to be dull, we realize the importance of taking advantage of the spring light when the weather conditions are mild, so if we want, for example, to photograph buildings, then spring is the right time, as the available light reveals the entire architectural details while The sun has not climbed to a lofty height, casting deep and crippling shadows at the same time.

Even when we want to photograph our own home, spring would be the right time. Especially when we can include the image with a nearby tree that is in the foreground of the image. The same is the case with pictures of people outside the house in nature. And with sufficient glowing light as in the summer, we find that the pictures of nature as a whole will also look better in the spring.

changeable weather

Spring in some parts of the world is fickle, as it rains or snows. and then . After a few minutes, the sun rises and we see the sky becoming completely clear. This weather is ideal for photography. When the sun rises after the rain, we find that the brightness covers all the surfaces that surround us, from the shiny sidewalks to the leaves of trees and even the paint of houses. Wherever we are in the city or the countryside, we will find good subjects. For photography, but we have to choose one subject in the photo, it is not appropriate to include many bright subjects in one photo, but we have to choose what we want to focus on. For example, in the midst of a general scene of a clip view, we are working to include a bright location that gives an atmosphere of aesthetics to the shot as a whole.. Whatever we want to include in the frame, we must make the most of the reflected sunlight. This necessitates shooting towards the sun so that the reflection does not give us a burnt image of the sun, but rather a light spot
Bright, despite the dispersion of its light, and if shooting facing the sun is sometimes important, but it is usually preferable to shoot from a shallow angle so that the sun falls outside the frame, to a very small degree. And with the bright sunshine after the rain, it is not enough to look for reflections only, but also for bright colors. The newly painted things appear very good, from the houses to the window frames, even the close shots of the old paint, which began to peel off or peel off, from its locations may give us distinctive images .. Here also we must not include the same image with many colors.

And if the sky in such an atmosphere is not completely clear, so that there are some gray clouds, here we have to choose the subject that can be captured from a location, so that these clouds form a background for the subject that should be bright and bright in color.

It remains to say that these weather conditions are ideal for photographing our cars... as the result will look like a new, shiny car, even if the reality is the opposite.

snow melting

Those who live in mountainous areas know that spring is the stage with which snow melts, which leads to waterfalls and sometimes floods. The best and most attractive pictures can be made in this field, and these pictures can often be used for recording. And with the arrival of these melt waters in the rivers and in their first branches, which
It is overflowing, bright, and crowned, and this is the best condition for a dramatic spring picture, in black and white, that includes violent mountain torrents, while gray clouds roll in advance before rain falls again, even in the melting phase. You can take advantage of the gradually melting snow to produce very attractive pictures. Here we can capture the falling drops of water in the sun, while the snow slides in the midst of the clumps of grass or the branches of pine trees.

Trees, flowers and nature

Tree leaves and buds covered with dew, a familiar atmosphere in the spring, and including these things in our pictures is very important, but here it is necessary to include the frame with the appropriate shot accurately and carefully, otherwise the result is far from what we knew of the beauty of this scene in nature.

Here and in nature, the importance of modern color films that can record the most complex color gradations is highlighted... But our choice of the appropriate destination for the shot remains the decisive element in its success. And if we had not compensated relatively for that in the snapshot, we would see that the daffodil flower, for example, would turn into a mass of green and yellow devoid of the minimum level of excitement.

From here, we have to work on the principle of choice, for example focusing on one or two flowers, and trying to capture the exact shape and color, or moving away to the back so that the frame includes a group of flowers in the form of bright yellow in general.
As for focusing on a few flowers, the shape of a single flower becomes of great importance, as we have to highlight vision and light conditions that lead to highlighting this shape with the best effect. The high point of view, for example, is not suitable in this field, because what will appear is the head of the daffodil flower, which is less spectacular, in addition to losing the possibility of separating the flowers from their background with the adoption of the high point of view. The ground, which is the background here, is much closer than the possibility of leaving it out of focus.

Thus, it becomes necessary to go down to the ground to photograph the flowers from their level, or from a lower location.

As is the case with the high point of view, we find that the high angle of sunlight leaves the same negative impression on the shot. It is better, then, to capture either early or late in the day, as the low angle of sunlight helps highlight the exact structure and shape of the flower head.

Nevertheless, we mention here that the side lighting angle, if it is strong, will result in very rough shadows, so it is desirable that this lighting be somewhat deviant from the subject.
Although daffodils are the main material for spring pictures, as they can be photographed individually or as bright yellow flowers, it remains to pay attention also to other groups of crocuses and spring blossoms, to obtain multiple photographs, and we must not ignore the trees, especially those recently filled with attractive green leaves. .

Trees located on the outskirts of streets or between two streets can give us attractive pictures if we make good use of the interference of sunlight in the midst of them, even with snapshots of individual trees.
The sun's rays dappled among the spring trees and wildflowers have always been and still are. It is ideal for taking beautiful shots of people in the middle, especially pictures of girls in their loose and lacy dresses, as well as children in their most innocent years.
These images have become so popular that we should try to be distinguished in choosing the angle and quality of the shot.

Spring is the season of renewal

The arrival of spring is the appropriate season for many renovations in our lives. It is the season for repainting homes, as well as cars and yachts. It is also the season of raising carpets and . Insulating and ventilating homes, all of these things can be kept as memorial photos. In addition to what can be reviewed of innovations also at the level of nature, where the agricultural work that intensifies in this season, as well as the most famous types of flowers open, in this season many small animals are born.
These subjects are characterized by softness in the photographs. Taking a picture of the yolks of animals with their mothers, or even during their birth if we are allowed to photograph them during this time - sheep and cows, for example - we can get unique and unique pictures.

Finally, it can be said that spring is more about what we can record about it, as our experience and creative work necessitates - either obtaining traditional and ordinary images, or exploiting the spring atmosphere to obtain the best distinctive images.
