2. About concentration. When you choose the autofocus option of the camera and let the camera help you choose the focus, your shooting is on a road of lack of opinion. The autofocus function of a camera is usually designed to focus automatically on the object closest to the lens. So choose the right focus when taking pictures, because you are the ultimate decider of your photos. Especially in the desert, it is more important to decide the focus by yourself.

2. raw. RAW format is an unmodified data compilation recorded by camera sensor during exposure, which is the original digital source of photos. When you shoot in JPEG format, it looks no different from that in RAW format, but when you edit the image, you will find that the image shot in JPEG format is missing a lot of data, and the image in RAW format allows us to edit the photo to a greater extent. You can recall that when the white balance of the camera is set incorrectly, you must spend a lot of energy and time trying to adjust it later to eliminate the color cast. At this time, if you shot in RAW format before, you can easily save the photo because it allows you to restore the original color of the image.

Only soft light can describe people's natural features, and proper exposure and correct white balance can make your photos more eye-catching. Clouds are nature's soft boxes. Clouds with the right thickness can enrich the color of your photos and reflect unexpected light.

Finally, enjoy the whole shooting process, and your feelings of indulging in shooting will eventually show up in the photos.
