Shooting mode

Shooting mode: handheld shooting, tripod shooting, slide shooting, drone shooting.

Hand-held shooting: Hand-held shooting is the most basic shooting method, and photographers can take out their mobile phones or cameras anytime and anywhere to shoot. In order to take clear photos, photographers need to master the correct posture and shooting skills, such as learning to adjust breathing and stabilize the camera with elbows and waist as fulcrums.

Tripod shooting: A tripod is a bracket that can fix a camera, which can help photographers get more stable and clear photos. When shooting with a tripod, the photographer needs to fix the camera on the tripod and operate it by remote control or timing shooting.

Slide-rail shooting: Slide-rail is a device that can control the camera's movement, and a smoother image effect can be obtained through slide-rail shooting. When shooting with the slide rail, the photographer needs to install the camera on the slide rail and control the movement of the camera through the control handle or remote control.

Drone shooting: UAV is a kind of equipment that can shoot in the air, and it can get a broader and unique perspective. When shooting with drones, photographers need to master the operational skills and flight safety knowledge of drones, and at the same time pay attention to the influence of weather and airspace.

The significance of photography

Photography is the freeze of time, which can make the moment eternal. Roman Barthes believes that photos are "fleeting instant witness", the result of an event, and the proof of the existence and passing of a certain moment in the passing time, and the traces of the event are left in the photos.

Memory is the process of restoring the memory of past experiences. Memories will fade with time, and photos can be recognized or recalled at the moment when memories need to be recalled. The long river of social life and human life changes with the flow of time. However, people's memory is very limited, and the memory that can be recorded in words is thin. Photography is born with this desire and demand.
