How do novices learn photography?

What basic skills should beginners start with? How can I improve my photography skills quickly? Let's have a look!

Methods/steps

Understand the basic operation of the camera:

After buying a camera, I suggest you read the instructions more. The instruction manual is a good helper for you to familiarize yourself with the camera. Every key of the camera and the special function of the camera can be found in the manual, and it is very clear.

Understand the relationship among ISO, aperture and shutter;

SLR cameras have three key factors. One is that ISO can control the aperture, the other is that the aperture can control the blurring of the background of the picture, and the other is the shutter, which can shoot high-speed or low-speed objects.

Control the light of the camera:

The light of the camera is not only influenced by the outside world, but also we can get a lot of light by adjusting the aperture and shutter of the camera. If necessary, we can also buy tripods and flashlights.

The composition of photos needs more practice;

A good photo must have a good composition. We should learn while shooting, look at other people's works more, and see how others compose music and what kind of ideas they use, so that you can make rapid progress.

Try to shoot works with various themes:

We also need to take all kinds of photos. After taking pictures of the models, we can go out to shoot strangers. If you like to shoot scenery, you can also consider buying a macro lens to shoot flowers and insects.

Import the computer for post-processing:

Good photos are not necessarily in the later stage, but photos taken in the later stage are generally better. We need to study PHOTOSHOP well, which is a compulsory course in photography.

Send it to social networking sites to see what others say:

Share more photos after shooting, post them on social networking sites for friends to comment, see if they are not good enough, and then continue to work hard to improve.

Find a mentor to make progress together;

It would be better to have friends who play photography together. We can go out to take photos together, exchange equipment to take more and better photos, communicate together and make progress together.
