Follow the light-take photos and punch in every day for half a year.

At the end of last year, I visited Hangzhou Xiaoshu Pavilion, which I had admired for a long time. The pleasing color scheme, moving light and shadow, and dedicated readers suddenly became a paradise. After leaving, the picture of the library has been rotating, and the most beautiful reading place has been found on the Internet. The name of this excellent photographer jumped into sight. Focus on bookstore records, the author of two books, awesome! It would be great if I could shop and shoot bookstores like her. Coincidentally, I saw this daily punching course in her micro store and signed up immediately. Fortunately, I started a light-chasing journey with a group of people who like to record beautiful things with photos.

Photography is an art that runs out of money. Of course, first of all, it means running out of money, and it also means grasping the meaning of light. At the beginning of last year, I attended a local portrait photography workshop. The teacher asked a question: What should I do after a scene and before taking pictures? Some people say it's composition, some people say it's pose, some people say it's color. The teacher shook his head again and again in denial. The answer is to observe where the light is. The level, layout, color and artistic conception of the picture are closely related to the light, and the change of the light is also the most striking. Since then, I have paid special attention to light, where light comes from, the projection of shadow and the acceptance of subject.

20 18 12.28, the first punch card picture is the way home at sunset. This is the evening when I came back from Hangzhou. The sunshine in winter in my hometown is so warm.

At home, it's basically two o'clock and one line. I get up early for work and get off work at night. Most of the punching photos are taken on the way to work. It's six kilometers away, and it takes about half an hour by bike. The usual state is to watch the road while listening to the APP. When you are interested in light, you can stop and take some photos at any time, and the extra time will not exceed five minutes.

July 10, after buying vegetables in the vegetable market, I looked up and saw that the humble house was different under the light:

About one-third of the time is on a business trip, and life on the trip is not so regular. Perhaps it is a rare encounter to meet a beam of light in the street, in the yard and in the room.

On May 25th, a meeting was held in Beijing:

Lazy afternoon, sunny, a cup of tea, a book, I am afraid is the reader's favorite. Go to the library and visit the bookstore. There are not many scenes with light. After all, most bookstores are now opened in shopping malls with indoor lighting.

The quantity is too small. Another photo of the National Library was taken last year.

The above photos were taken by Glory 8 mobile phone. The best camera is this one in your hand, which really makes sense.

Many people around claim to like photography, and few people have improved in continuous shooting. For most ordinary people, it is easy to start doing something on a whim and make rapid progress in a short time. However, it is difficult to persist in doing one thing for a long time, even if it seems simple to take a photo every day. You can always find a variety of reasons, too busy to see a good picture, or simply forget it. What shall we do? One person walks fast, and a group of talents walk far.

In the punching group of Haoshe College, good teachers will carefully comment on every photo every day, "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" and give specific guidance according to the characteristics of each student. She always takes everyone's feelings into consideration and enthusiastically encourages everyone. In addition, every member of the group is a person who loves photography and life. I am embarrassed to take a photo and send it to the group. This is an invisible supervision. Seeing other people's beautiful pictures, one excellent work after another, on the one hand, will learn a lot, on the other hand, it will also feel pressure, which is a benign "peer pressure." There is feedback, guidance, pressure, no more excuses, only force yourself to take a decent photo every day.

In fact, as Rodin said, there is no shortage of beauty in life, what is lacking is the eyes that find beauty. When I have to take pictures, I will try my best to find things that I would have overlooked before, such as mottled light and shadow, flowers on street corners, birds on branches, and lost beauty in ordinary things. In addition, you can also record some sense of ritual in life, such as the first time a child visits a bookstore and celebrates his birthday for the first time.

If you buy your first SLR from 13 and start taking pictures, this half year is the period with the highest frequency of taking pictures in more than six years, even if you hold the camera very few times. I am especially lucky to meet a good teacher and friend who punched in the card and share so many interesting lives with me. The sun is new every day, and so is the light. Follow the light and discover more beauty.
