How do novices learn photography

How do novices learn photography? With the development of society, many smart phones have the function of taking pictures, so many people no longer use cameras. But for photographers, cameras are familiar to them, and there are still many people who like cameras. So, how do beginners learn photography? Let's have a look.

How do beginners learn photography 1

First, is it better to learn to use a camera or a mobile phone for photography?

In recent years, there are more and more arguments about "the camera is useless". Many people think that the camera function of the mobile phone has been built in, so there is no need to buy another camera. But is this really the case?

In fact, learning photography is mainly about exposure, focusing and other knowledge. To master these photographic knowledge, I personally think it is best to study with a camera. This can better grasp the concept of photography, thinking and so on.

If you really want to learn photography well, I suggest you buy an entry camera or a micro-single, which will be better for you to learn photography. When you have used the camera in your hand and experienced the feeling of controlling the camera, you will gradually find out what you need and what adjustments you need to make.

After all, mobile phones are communication tools, not for you to learn photography; If you want to learn photography well, you must use a camera.

Second, do you have to use "M file"?

I believe that many people will hear the old mage say when they are learning photography: you must use M files to play photography, otherwise it will be a waste of equipment and so on.

In fact, if it is not necessary, there is absolutely no need to use M file. I usually use AV files for my own photos, sometimes I use TV files, but I don't use M files much.

If you know the exposure principle of the camera that day, you can skillfully use the exposure of the camera; You will find that it doesn't matter which file to shoot, which file is a matter of time.

Before considering which shooting mode to use, it is most important to understand the exposure principle of the camera.

Third, manual focusing is more accurate?

Many novices will have the understanding that camera manual focusing is more accurate than autofocus. In fact, in most cases, the success rate of camera manual focusing is less than that of automatic focusing, so it is not more accurate than automatic focusing as people think.

The manual focusing of the camera is the same as the M file I just mentioned. These are only used in extreme cases and are not always idle. For example, when shooting in a poor light environment, the camera's autofocus cannot be used, and manual focusing is needed.

Fourth, is small aperture imaging better?

Small aperture imaging belongs to the film age, but not to the digital age. In the digital age, large aperture imaging is better, because the current lenses are designed according to the best effect of large aperture. On the contrary, the image quality of small aperture is not very good. If you adjust the aperture of the camera to below f/ 1 1, there will be a gap.

5. Do you want to buy an expensive UV mirror?

In fact, the UV mirror is a thing to protect the lens. Simply put, it is to protect the lens of your lens from being scratched and damaged. But it really doesn't need to be too expensive. I have seen many people say that you have to buy thousands of UV mirrors, because expensive UV mirrors are transparent.

In fact, novices really don't need to buy such expensive ones. If you think the UV mirror is not good for taking pictures, you can take it off immediately when taking pictures. Buy a better brand of UV mirror, the price is similar.

Sixth, I always want to break the routine.

I want to review this myself. I used to tell everyone to break the rules when I was talking about photography. Later, I found that for people who have been studying photography for a long time, you can tell them that it is ok to break the routine; But for a novice or beginner, you can't tell him to break the rules.

The most important thing for beginners is to learn photography steadily and grow step by step. So don't think about breaking the routine, just shoot according to the routine; You are not even familiar with the basics of aperture and shutter, and you have to break the routine of fart.

How do beginners learn photography 2 1 First, they must have a camera.

It is best to buy a SLR, and decide the level of buying a SLR according to your own economic conditions, determination to study and future photography goals. Of course, mobile phones can also be used.

2. Study the instructions of the camera.

The manual of each camera is different, and what you buy is what you are suitable for at present. Be sure to study the camera manual carefully, clearly understand the basic functions and parameter settings of the camera, and basically master it.

3. Learn the basics of photography.

Buy books or listen to lectures online, and learn the basic knowledge of photography, such as composition, aperture, speed, focusing and so on.

4. Practice repeatedly.

At first, you can shoot in automatic mode and practice composition, and then practice in aperture priority mode (speed priority mode in the case of moving objects). Practice again and again to find out the problem.

5. Learn the theory again and find the answer.

In view of the problems existing in taking pictures, we should solve them by reading books or listening to lectures online.

6. Read more books and study more.

Look at the award-winning photographic works, and study and observe them one by one from the aspects of composition, focus, aperture, speed, color and theme.

7. Get to the point.

Photography is the science of light and the knowledge of beauty. Grasp light and beauty.

8, theoretical study, photography practice should be repeated.

After taking photos, we should study the photos later to find out which parts are well taken and which parts are not well taken, and then study the theory and camera instructions later. This promotion is very fast and the foundation is very solid! Without theoretical guidance, there is no hierarchy in practice!

How do novices learn photography 3. Master photographic equipment and the most basic shooting theory.

Any profession or any hope, if you want to use it well, you must know it like the back of your hand. After all, you will know how to use it when you are familiar with it. Know yourself and yourself, and you won't be defeated, will you? Therefore, for photographers, they need to know the camera they use like the back of their hand and regard the camera as their own eyes. Then let's talk about what the friends who are about to get started must know:

1. How to use the buttons and menus on the camera body

2. Understand the camera mode, and the use of P, S, A and M modes has been characterized (the author has carefully explained and exemplified these modes in previous articles. If you want to know, you can follow me and go to the home page.

3. Image recording options, image quality and size.

4. Focus mode related content (the author also mentioned the focus mode related content in the last article, and friends who want to know can follow me and go to the home page to find it).

5. The whole content of exposure, correct understanding and use of exposure is an important factor in taking good photos. The author has written three articles about photometric exposure in front, which have detailed introduction and explanation of the content. You can pay attention and then go to the home page to find a study.

Of course, there should also be some experimental learning shots in the study. For example, half-shutter metering and focusing, small aperture shooting small depth of field and so on. For this stage, it is not required to shoot master works. This stage is mainly used to practice and familiarize yourself with the camera structure and main applications.

Master photography theory

The theory of photography mostly depends on the photographer's personal thoughts and the photographer's brain hole. A good photographic work is not necessarily based on the photographic composition, light consumption and later step by step in most photographic theories, but on how the photographer uses his camera to express something we don't understand or think of, giving people a feeling of brightening up at the moment. Novel and unpretentious. Of course, we need to know more about photographic equipment, composition, lighting, metering, exposure and angle. Conditional photographers can buy their own books to study, or pay attention to us who specialize in the education of beginners in photography, or college students, and then they can go to their own school library to find relevant books to study.

Hone skills and feelings.

For this, the author suggests that photographers and beginners should think more. While shooting, I think about how to shoot different feelings and make different close-ups of what I see from different perspectives.
