Four rules I always remember when shooting flowers or other foliage outdoors.
- Cloudy or overcast days work best to provide soft even lighting for flowers.
- Control your depth of field by using Aperture Priority (Av) mode.
- Make sure your shutter speed is high enough to freeze any motion caused by the wind.
- Shoot low to capture those unusual angles.
