There are several factors you need to consider when taking photos of flowers on it.
1. Light
Good or not the images of interest you shoot one of them depends on the light factor. They say the best time for photographing flowers is during daylight hours. But actually it is the worst time because the sun again the strongest so that it can blur the images and form a shadow.
We encourage you to take pictures of interest in the early morning or late afternoon when sunlight is not too bright, for the flower pictures you take out the color more.
2. Focal Point
Determine the focal point of the object that you will take, whether it’s a collection of colorful flowers or just a flower. Notice of what will be included in your frame. Note also the background or foreground object, do not there things that interfere. If the background or foreground objects are found to be interesting, better looking the other focal point.
3. Do not Shake
Sometimes, unconsciously often shake hands when you are photographing. As a result there is a blurred image results. It’s perfectly natural. For this reason, it is recommended you use a tripod to reduce shake hands syndrome so that the resulting picture can look better.
4. Angle and Distance
Do not take pictures of interest only from one side only. It is recommended to revolve around the interest and not just stay in one place. Try also took photographs of these objects with different height angle, either from above, equal, or lower than the object. Note also how close you stand when it comes to taking photos with the object to be photographed.
5. Involve Other Objects
A photo will look more alive if we can take these objects with unique frames. So do not just photographing flowers, but look for unique ways to capture the interest. For example, by involving other objects around him like a twig wine, insects in the flowers, so the result is more interesting picture.

Photographers of them, got a part to record all the happiness and beauty that is created on the day it is. The point of all try to show their best to create a memorable event
Sometimes the beauty of the damaged caused by service providers who put his ego. Not aware that during the event, the sanctity should not be disturbed. Elements that are in the party room must remain unsightly eye. Therefore we need the understanding of all parties to guard it.
What should be done by a wedding photographer?
* Attendance at the technical meeting / committee meeting. Convey the list required for the photo. For example: room for a photo studio, power, outlet location, etc.. Good coordination between service providers will make all kind of regular basis. There is no aisle in front turn out the cable for example.
* Understand the structure of the event and be present as scheduled. Backup time to prepare & equipment. If the location of the event we do not know, do the previous survey. On the day everyone is busy with their affairs, do not add to their burden.
* Dressed in a polite and fair. Especially in a traditional wedding, you should not wear sandals, poloshirt / tshirt and jeans “faded”. Family bridal sandals no matter which brand you use. Croocs though, does not deserve to be a party room.
* Eat before work. Remember … we come to work
* Understand the rules that apply in the location of the event. For example: adab enter mosques, ban on climbing the altar of the church, duty wear traditional clothes, etc.
* Does not interfere with other personnel on duty. For example: obstruct views of the host.
* Remind the bride and groom to do things that will make the picture better. For example: lots of smiles, not too often looked down, the body must be sturdy, time to pray lifting both hands up high, and so on. Give these things before the event or several days before, not during the event because it would interfere with concentration / damage solemnity procession
* In the event shower the bride, the family often women and allow only immediate family present at the event. Assign a woman photographer for this purpose
* Super-wide lenses often produce a dramatic effect. However, when used at the wrong moment will interfere. Use it wisely super wide lens.
* Use the equipment appropriately. Consider whether the room will be distracted by the aesthetics of photographic equipment used. Brides pay dearly for the decoration of the room. Umbrella & softbox guests often obstruct the view towards the stage / altar. This is where a photographer was tested, not dependent on one type of instrument only.
* Do not be too much to set, submit the proceedings to the host
* Shown low profile fused with the show, so the presence of photographers do not make awkward / ruin the atmosphere. Do not be too often and then ply the grounds to pursue the moment. Place a few photographers at strategic locations to get all the shooting angle
* If any officer video / Another photographer location of the event, smart set “deal”. Eg for not taking a position facing each other which resulted in us come canned (“in frame”)
* Stay on the promise when the results will be submitted photos
The last, a professional photographer never showed the picture that failed to clients. Always show the best photos and save the photos as raw introspection ugly.
May we be the ones better … ….
