Tips To Be A Excellent Tree Photographer

By George Dodson


You cannot wait for autumn to photograph the tree though trees look attractive in autumn.

Equipments of photography

Various types of lenses from wide-angle to shorter telephotos are available now. You can use any of them. If you want, you can also use compacted camera. Please take a strong camera stand as you may get insufficient light in forest. If you are going for a long travel you should take a bag that has multiple pockets and enough space so that you can take all the essential things with you.

Target the woods

We find trees always near by our garden or road. If you want an extraordinary shot you should go for woods or local garden rather than your house tree. It is needless to carry the tripod if you can not use it. So, be sure that you can use it on where you are going. If you want to take shots of a group of trees, it is better to take the entire view by stepping backward. You can also take a portion for artistic view.

You should go at proper time

As highly contrasting light is not good for photography you should choice late morning or afternoon for tree photography. A gloomy day is never suitable for photography. But there has an exception for some close up photography.

Add texture and select the proper pattern

When you are at mid forest it is convenient to take close snap of a single tree. You should focus the trunk and at the same tilt up to get a view with some texture.

Including artificial things

If you take some man made things in your coverage area it will enhance the beauty of your photography. But the color of the object should match with the soft nature.

Work on leaves

It is better to give attention to leaves and canopy area in a clear sky. You can go for fine points in veins as green contrast excellent versus blue. Be conscious to avoid bug chewed leaves. If you need more detailed snaps, I suggest you to take coupling rings or an extension tube on double lenses but in case of closer photography use a 100 mm lens.

If you use thicker leaves for photography, they will not shine and if you use leaves of the same structure your works look duplicative.
