Hello everyone!
Happy New Year! This is Fukumoto.
This time, I'd like to talk about the things that make me feel good in my daily life.
I would also like to introduce the points I pay particular attention to when taking these photos, along with some reference photos.
Let's get started!
This is a photo of salmon roe taken at home.
I love salmon roe, so I was really excited to see all those chunks!
The thing I was particular about with this photo was that I wanted to fill the smartphone screen with salmon roe,
I took this photo using the iPhone's portrait function, resulting in beautiful image quality.
This way, the image doesn't become too blurry even when you zoom in, so I recommend it!
These are pea sprouts I bought to give to my pet birds.
Birds love this, but the amount they eat doesn't match the rate at which the pea sprouts grow, so if you leave them for about three days, they become tangled and overgrown, and the birds won't even come near them.
Personally, I really like this vitality.
The way they overflow from the container and grow towards the sunlight in all directions gives them a wild look.
If I saw this growing on the roadside, I wouldn't be that impressed, but it is sold in supermarkets and grown indoors, so it has had a very greenhouse-like life, and for some reason I was really struck by the fact that it is able to survive in a limited space with a wild look.
And here is "Birds playing with pea sprouts."
These bean sprouts are, of course, the same as those mentioned above.
The key point this time is "dynamism"!
The bird, running around happily, is blurred, while part of the pea sprouts is in focus, creating a nice contrast.
It's beautiful to take photos of animals posing or standing still, but it's also fun to take photos where the camera can't keep up with the movement!
Please try it out when you have time!
And finally, "Stealth Photography of Pigeons."
I was in the mountains with a friend and saw a pigeon walking leisurely all by itself, so I decided to take a candid-style photo!
I normally like images with good image quality, so I don't take zoomed photos, but it's a little different when it comes to "candid" style photos.
The rules I follow for candid-style photos are "not too pretty" and "realism."
I like to use the zoom function as much as possible to get a low-quality image, with the subject's outline and background slightly blurred!
Also, when taking a photo in a place where there are obstacles such as trees or leaves in the frame,
Or, you can intentionally add obstacles (such as holding them in your hands)
By doing so, it gives the impression that you are taking the photo while hiding, which I think adds to the sense of realism!
Finally, this is "voyeur-style" but not "voyeur" in nature.
When I take photos of people, I tell them that I want to take photos that look like they were taken secretly, and then I get their cooperation!
Please be careful not to take genuine candid photos.
This time we've introduced some slightly biased photos.
Until next time~
