Spring pictures
So, let's not hold back and dive into the beautiful month of May.
Especially since its numerous public holidays are an opportunity to take breaks with family or friends. We take the chance to collect plenty of good moments to capture on film. At home, wandering about, in the countryside, by the sea or in the mountains, and even in the city. We whip out our cameras and shoot away.
AND THERE WAS LIGHT
In spring, the natural light is at its most beautiful. Fewer clouds, more sunshine, beautiful sunsets. As a result, your photos will gain in clarity and brightness.
To showcase this natural light, we don't forget some photography basics.
SOME PRO TIPS
To photograph landscapes, try to include a foreground to give more depth to the shot. Of course, avoid positioning against the light. In gardens, capture the spring explosion of colors and fragrances on film. So, don't be indifferent to the charms of the pretty tulip winking at you. With your nose in the grass, take its portrait but from a low angle like the pro photographers.
Your children finally frolic happily outdoors. For lively pictures, capture them in action, not lined up like onions on the lawn. Capture their natural attitudes: their concentrated faces when they are busy doing something, their gaze lost in the distance when they daydream, their radiant faces when they burst into laughter. To capture the most beautiful nuances of natural spring light, take out your camera in the morning, mid-afternoon, or evening. With all these beautiful photos, all that's left for you to do is create a FlexiLivre photo album. Tons of themes, layouts, graphics, and fonts are available to embellish your photos with just a few clicks. So, in May, do as you please with FlexiLivre!
THE CULTURAL MINUTE FROM FLEXILIVRE
On May 1st, it is tradition to offer a few springs of lily of the valley. The May lily of the valley, Convallaria Majalis for the connoisseurs, goes by several endearing names: wood bell, sifflet, petit grelot, lily of the valley, amourette, Parnassus' grass, tears of Saint Mary. Whatever name it goes by, lily of the valley is a lucky flower. Did you know that over 80% of lily of the valley is produced in the Nantes region? That amounts to about 60 million sprigs, almost one for every French resident!
