How can I become a master photographer?

Photography will inevitably consume your energy, physical strength, financial resources, and sometimes it will consume your amazing perseverance. I just can't stand suffering, so I can't become an ethos. Here's a counterexample for you. The skill of photography is only the foundation, and you must master the camera skillfully to grasp the best opportunity at the critical moment. If one day you suddenly find a PPMM smiling brightly across the street, you should fix your camera like a soldier loading a bullet into a gun and shooting it, and capture that beautiful moment as quickly as possible. You can't walk up to someone and say, "Excuse me, can you repeat your smile just now?" No, the eyes are not that big, and the corners of the mouth are upturned! ◎ # $% ×※ "I think the beauty's face must have been distorted by anger at this time.

The advantage of a digital camera is that you can see it immediately, and you don't have to wait for it to be developed to know the result. You can shoot more and tune more, accumulate experience and successfully apply it to those who are prepared. This preparation is to practice more at the bottom. Just like Leonardo da Vinci painted eggs, photography can also start from the simplest. You can pat the egg in front, then pat it on the top, pat it on the bottom, pat it on boiled eggs, fried eggs and tea eggs. Shoot eggs at dawn, shoot eggs at evening, shoot eggs under incandescent lamp, shoot eggs under fluorescent lamp, and shoot quail eggs after duck eggs, so that you can become an expert at shooting eggs after a period of time:) In the simple process of shooting eggs from shallow to deep, you can learn to use more skills and special effects.

Many objects, such as human faces, are very similar to eggs in shape and illumination, so success is already beckoning to you. Learning digital photography should also have certain economic strength. A manual DC needs at least 2000 yuan, and this is just the beginning. After the level is improved, we should buy better cameras, plus computers, memory cards, tripods, various lenses and so on. This is definitely not a small expense. Of course, this is relative to the traditional fool machine. A professional traditional camera is not cheaper than a digital camera, and it is not cheap to consume film and develop every time. I'm not saying this to encourage you to buy high-end cameras in the future and make choices according to your own conditions and technology. If you can shoot creative effects with ordinary cameras, you can also win everyone's applause.

2. Clear objectives

When you make up your mind to walk into the door of photography and make all the preparations, the next thing to do is to determine your personal goals. You might say, "Isn't that the goal of photography?" Frame the subject with the viewfinder, zoom, adjust the aperture and shutter, and keep the target permanently with the lens. "Then I asked the questioner," What is your photography goal? What kind of photos do you want to take? Is it a portrait? Or landscape or ecology? Do you know what kind of photos you really like? What's the difference between a good photo and a bad photo in your own mind? "

Speaking of these questions, some beginners can't answer them, so you should think it over before you really start. Walking into the door of photography requires not only passion and courage, but also calm thinking. If you don't do this, it's easy to lose yourself in the process of learning photography. Facing the complicated scenery around us, we often can't find the subject. When you see the beautiful portraits taken by others, you learn to take portraits. When you see the charming scenery taken by some people, you take pictures. Such a half-hearted attitude is like a bear with a broken stick and only a little in its hand at last. Knowing one's own strengths and having clear goals can give full play to one's potential and help to enhance one's confidence in the early stage. The initial goal of learning photography is specialization, not erudition. Of course, a good photographer is not afraid of any environment, which is another story for the time being.

3. Inner peace

Don't be afraid of failure, dare to accept other people's criticisms and opinions, and be thick-skinned and not afraid of scolding. Due to the initial mistakes or lack of photographic experience, it is inevitable to shoot a failed work. Every time I get up, it's progress. You often put your best works on the internet for color friends to judge. Remember, they must be the best works, representing your highest level of work. Don't expect anyone to join you in those works that you think are failures.

The comments of netizens are very sharp. When you see them criticizing your favorite baby works, you must keep your mind unshakable and hold back. After swearing, calmly sum up the shortcomings pointed out by everyone, and then be scolded and improved after improvement. So when there are more cheers than curses, you suddenly find yourself improving a lot. Some netizens' comments are extreme. Don't take it to heart, it will affect your mood. Have confidence in yourself. By the way, many netizens are very irresponsible now. Maybe your casual comments can make a person with photographic talent lose confidence and give up. We need to work together to create a healthy and uplifting environment, with less abuse and more correct guidance.

4. Unique vision

Learning photography is indispensable to appreciate the works of masters, and knowing the gap between yourself and the world is also a means of learning. Technically, you can imitate and absorb it for your own use, but don't copy it completely. You should have your own unique place in your mind. A master's work is a masterpiece, but even if you shoot it exactly the same, that's what the master thinks. All you have to do is copy the master's works again with your brain and your camera. Master can shoot more wonderful works in the future, and you can only produce one more.

When technology has reached a high level, only individual creativity can separate the gap. Masters are masters because they can inspire at the same time and place. I often encounter this situation. When I was taking pictures, my friends who didn't know how to take pictures occasionally chimed in and said, do you think it's okay to take pictures like this? I was surprised at that time, because the idea put forward by my friend was unexpected, but it was wonderful. I think if that friend is a photographer, he can shoot better works than me in the same place. We often make such mistakes. When shooting the subject, all I can think about is how a master will shoot in this situation, and he often loses his own characteristics. Maybe your own idea is the most correct? Find yourself in photography, and you will be the master of the future.

5. perseverance

There is nothing to say here. At present, the swan after the rookie has a lot of ups and downs in the process of growth, and only by constantly flapping its wings can it fly. I, a rookie, will show you the way. Fly by yourself.
