What are the novice photography skills?

I believe everyone wants to keep the most beautiful scenery when they go out to play, but how to shoot the beautiful scenery? The following are my necessary photography skills for beginners, I hope to help you!

First, the best zoom lens is your own foot!

Many beginners of photography asked me what kind of lens to buy, and many asked about zoom lenses. Of course, zoom lens provides a great degree of convenience, especially when shooting events, zoom lens is very suitable! But in fact, among other shooting subjects, the best zoom lens is your own foot! Getting used to changing the "focal length" by walking can not only make you more motivated to find special angles and materials, but also make you fall in love with using high-quality, lightweight fixed-focus lenses!

Second, pay more attention to light.

Photography is about capturing light and shadow. When you can master the use of different lights skillfully, it proves that your photography technology has gone further! Remember, no light is "bad light" Try to take special photos with the light at that time.

Three, come closer, a little closer.

Robert capa, a master photographer, famously said, "If your photos are not good enough, it is because you are not close enough. Very enlightening. Being close to the subject you want to shoot can not only make the subject of your photo clearer, but also help you know more about the subject by being close, so as to find more meaningful stories.

Fourth, don't think too much, shoot!

In terms of words, it seems that people are being asked to take more pictures. In fact, if they take more pictures, there may be one or two good photos, but excellent photos are often not planned. Instead, you can try to shoot according to your intuition and feelings. Don't let accurate exposure and traditional composition kill a photo full of stories!

5. Don't stop practicing.

Even experienced photographers have new knowledge to learn every day! So don't stop practicing, whether indoors or outdoors, or even when you go to the toilet, you can find interesting subjects and methods to shoot!

6. Try not to use flash.

Turn off the flash and try to shoot with live light!

7. After pressing the shutter, don't forget to look at the subjects around you.

Just like shooting the sunset, after shooting the fiery red sun and looking around, you will find that the afterglow of the sunset makes ordinary objects beautiful! So always pay attention to your side and don't leave any good opportunities!

Eight, using manual mode shooting

Don't be afraid to shoot in manual mode! For example, when shooting at night, using manual mode allows you to fully grasp how big the aperture is and how slow the shutter is, so as to take the photos you want to take. But some occasions are suitable for using aperture or shutter, just like street shooting. Let camera technology help you concentrate on finding good themes, lights and angles!

Lighten your burden and increase your creativity.

Don't take all your equipment with you! Many times, a camera and a mirror can make you take good photos. The less you rely on the lens, the more you can improve your creativity!

Ten, shoot for yourself

Of course, friends' opinions are sometimes helpful, but just because friends don't like the subject matter doesn't mean you can't shoot! As long as it's a subject you're interested in, just shoot it! Online agreement is not as important as you think!

Eleven, shoot more, don't just look at the theory.

Even if you read a hundred thousand photography skills, you can't take good photos without practice. So you have to learn more theories and try more at the same time, in order to truly appreciate the fun of photography.

Twelve, slow down.

One advantage (or disadvantage) of digital camera is that the cost of taking one more photo is very low, which means it can be taken all the time! But constant shooting will often make you lucky enough to take good photos. Try to slow down and think about what you are shooting and the story behind it before you press the shutter. Stick to it, and your photography skills will definitely improve.

Don't put your camera away until you get home.

You never know when a good subject will appear, so don't put away your camera in a hurry until you get home!

Fourteen, remember to take off the lens cover when shooting!

I think you've tried, haven't you?
