Buddhism or Taoism? See which faction your photo belongs to? (with secularization guide)

Recently, "Buddhist youth" has become a new hot word to describe the first batch of post-90 s.

The so-called "Buddha" refers to all the attitudes towards life, but when the word comes out, many people say, what Buddha? We are still Confucianism and Mohism!

Don't jump to conclusions yet. Which faction do you belong to? Just look at the photos you took!

Buddhist photographer: The best shot is not the last.

Ordinary people: lazy people, newcomers, and fixed-focus parties.

Buddhism pays attention to fate, and Buddhist photographers disdain to study such complex things as composition and light.

If you use a fixed focus lens, you have to let nature take its course. If you can't shoot if you stand here, forget it. What if you walk out of the pit? Taking pictures, the most important thing is to be happy!

Oh, yes, and compassion.

Yesterday, the old mage next door took a big telephoto and easily cut off the model I had been dating for a month.

At two o'clock, I finished repairing the film for my sister. My sister is too fat, indicating that it is not as good as Meitu Xiu Xiu;

The customer cheated on the map, saying that it was a ability fraud. Why did he give money?

No problem!

I am merciful!

Secularization guide:

Reduce the chaos of Buddhism, and the composition should be horizontal, vertical, three and nine squares;

Take two steps without illness, try to be close to the main body and change the perspective;

Observe the light, use less smoothness, use more side light, side backlight and backlight;

Professional Buddhist photographer, don't give high-definition big pictures without getting the money.

Long-term self-test:

Taoist photographer: The wind is cold, and the selfie only leaves the back.

Ordinary people: designers, young artists, and indifference

Taoism pays attention to purity and inaction, as plain as water. There must be too many elements in the photo, and so are the colors. No more than three!

Background is very important, preferably solid color, square and vertical bar.

Even when traveling for selfies, Taoist girls can only accept the elegant back and want the feeling of a fairy. In their eyes, all those who show their faces are low photos of "coming here for a visit"!

As the representative of minimalist photography, Taoism is the easiest way to promote the circle of friends.

Getting started guide:

A photo only uses one tone, either cold or warm;

Cool colors include blue, green and cyan;

Warm colors include red, yellow and orange. (Taoist girls generally like high cold)

Use similar colors, and not too many, 2~4 is the best, try to use adjacent colors in the color circle;

Cut the photo into a square, because 1: 1 is closest to the middle frame ratio of a traditional camera, forcing the grid to be high.

Legal photographer: It is their duty to express people's sufferings.

Ordinary people: obsessed with award-winning and cutting-edge photographers

When it comes to legalism, people in China generally don't like it. Why? It's cruel ... There was Shang Yang in ancient times, but now there is a legal photographer.

They like the scene of the old, the weak, the sick and the beggars best, which is euphemistically called "decisive moment". I want to ask legal photographers, do you have any misunderstandings about street sweeping and Bresson?

However, it is undeniable that photos with this theme are easy to win prizes and are valuable from the perspective of news photography. But I think we should consider whether the subject is afraid of the camera.

Secularization guide:

Try to shoot from a distance with a telephoto lens, instead of shooting the front, put yourself in the other person's shoes;

I'm miserable enough. If I'm not a reporter, shoot something else.

Long-term self-test:

Confucian photographer: Follow the rules and make no mistakes.

Ordinary people: theoretical party and equipment party.

Confucian photographers pay attention to the golden mean, and the ancestral composition rules cannot be broken, even the lens of the deputy factory can't be used.

A friend wanted to buy Canon's 50mm f/ 1.4 lens. I said the lens was out of focus, so you bought the right one. Easy to use and cheap.

As a result ..... She was actually angry, saying that how could the vice factory be better than the original factory? Never discussed photography with me again.

Secularization guide:

Don't stay in theory, take more photos and find a style that suits you.

Long-term self-test:

Do you think this girl is wrong ... Is this photo nice? If you think it's okay, it's basically secularization.

Because Confucian photographers believe that the histogram of photos must be below, evenly distributed, and highlights and shadows cannot overflow.

And we look at this girl ... This photo has the phenomenon of highlight overflow (the line on the right side of the histogram), but it doesn't affect the overall aesthetic feeling of the picture, does it? The backlight is also very clear. ...

Therefore, it is important to trust your eyes and enjoy the fun of photography.

Ink photographer: shutter killer, shooting everything.

Ordinary people: avid photographers

Speaking of Mozi, he made great contributions to photography. It is precisely because Mozi and his apprentice first discovered pinhole imaging that the western countries opened their minds and made a black box to draw pictures, so they got cameras.

So until today, ink photographers are the most pragmatic.

They pay attention to universal love and fraternity, basically shoot everything, and there is no fixed theme, so they can be called shutter killers.

Into the pit/Secularization Guide:

Mohist thought is a bit complicated, I don't know whether it is persistence or secularism, because some Mohists shoot more in order to make good films;

However, in some ink systems, it is a bit embarrassing to take 100 pictures without themes and spread them to friends.

Therefore, I don't think shooting more is blind. Save the dissatisfied first, and then it will become a good film. Mozi hair circle, ten years is not too late!

Cheat the photographer: cheat the gun and shoot the private house for free.

Ordinary people: cheap cameras, idols are off

In addition to these respectable people, there are some special people in the photography circle, such as private photographers.

In fact, it is normal for photographers to shoot private houses, and there are not so many things to think about, but among them, a group of cheating photographers are mixed. They hold the cheapest equipment, claiming that they can shoot private houses for free, with the actual purpose of cheating guns.

Unconventional guide:

The derailed photographer wants to be secular and depends on himself, but girls can be vigilant.

Find a photographer with a good reputation, who really lives by photography, and don't be greedy and cheap for free;

Find a girlfriend to accompany you (but Liu Xin told us that girlfriends are not necessarily reliable);

Try to find a female photographer to shoot a private house;

If you mind, tell the photographer not to post your private photos on social platforms and photography websites. Of course, you can also tell him to delete the computer. ...

Wild photographer: look up at the starry sky and the sea, and fight if you don't agree.

Ordinary people: landscape photographers

Photographers are not all keen on taking pictures of girls. Some people like camping to take pictures of stars, snow, mountains and the moon. In short, they love outdoor life, but note that outdoor photographers don't support social life.

I saw a message in the photo group the other day:

A group of landscape photographers shot golden perforations on the 17-hole bridge, and their legs were broken to grab seats. ...

Survival guide:

Take a good photo and don't be impulsive. Those who study Buddhism can't shoot if they can't shoot;

Since you are in the Summer Palace, there is a lake behind you to cross over and learn from Master Liu …

Stop running to crowded places and pat the stars and the sea yourself.

Guide to the stars and the sea:

Carry a wide-angle lens with large aperture, excellent high-sensitivity camera (high ISO value and little noise), tripod and remote control;

Set a reasonable shutter speed: because the earth rotates, too long exposure time will become a star orbit. In order to avoid this situation, it is generally believed that the more reliable shutter setting is to divide the focal length you use by 500, and the shutter speed is not lower than that value;

Turn on the camera live view mode to zoom in and focus. M-files, fine-tuning parameters;

Save the RAW format so that you can adjust the white balance (cold or warm) later.

Metaphysical photographer: Photography is metaphysics.

Ordinary people: the old mage

The last one to come out at the finale must be our old mage.

Old wizards refer to those pseudo-professional photographers aged 50-70. Everywhere they go, they have to take "long guns and short guns", put on vests, take camera bags and even take filters, which is more expensive than my lens. ...

My favorite thing to do is to shoot models in groups and mislead new people, such as telling others to practice photography with manual focusing ... it's not too late to be the true face of photography. ......

His works are the same as those of Shi.

Secularization guide:

There is little hope. Where there are a group of models, there are old wizards.

Unconventional guide:

Find a formal course to learn photography, rather than thinking about it yourself, it is better to stay away from the old mage.

Don't refuse scientific and technological progress, focus manually, shift automatically, use it when necessary, nothing advanced;

Shoot what you like and think independently.

In fact, so many factions are purely entertainment. No matter what style, whether it is a blockbuster or not, it is most important to find the pleasure of observing life in photography.

So, what kind of photographer are you? Welcome to leave us a message and look for "like-minded" in the comment area.
