How To Photograph The Rose Garden

When you're trying to improve your photography, you have a lot of scope to learn in the rose garden. Whether you're doing larger shots in trying to capture the full rose garden design or if you're trying to learn to narrow the focus and take really clear and clean close up photographs, a place like this can provide opportunities for you.

As you learn to work with your camera settings, you will have beautiful subjects that won't be getting bored and walking away. You just need to remember a few tips for getting started.

The time of day and the type of light you have for your rose photography is another thing to consider. A slightly hazy day can actually produce some of the best photos in the rose garden, because it will cast subtle shadows.

On the other hand, taking photos first thing in the morning, when the sun has just risen, can result in shadows that are overly sharp and emphasized. So on a brighter, less hazy day, mid-morning tends to be the optimum time for good photographs.

Rather than just taking photo after photo, with little variation, you can create extra interest if you can take a rose photo now and then that has an added element. For example, you might capture a spider web glittering in the sunlight between two stems, or find a bumble bee at work among the petals.

Remember also that the rose garden is full of small movements and your own hands may not be steady enough to do perfect close up work. So you will find a tripod very helpful as well.

Follow every tip and give yourself all the extra advantages you can, and you will find yourself producing photographs of roses that make you look like a professional.
