Photography recruits, how to move forward?

Error 1: The picture lacks points of interest.

The point of interest, in short, is the visual center of the photo. Many novice photographers often shoot at random, never considering why they want to shoot this thing in advance, so the photos taken have no subject and are not attractive.

Suggestion: Every good work should have a point of interest, because you need to use this point of interest to catch the attention of the audience. So novice photographers must think about what you want to shoot in advance and know why you want to shoot.

Error 2: Not close enough to the subject.

"If you don't shoot well enough, it's because you're not close enough to the subject." When shooting, some people are embarrassed or afraid to disturb each other, so they dare not get close to the subject, which leads to unsatisfactory photos.

Suggestion: Beginners need to be bold, take a few steps forward or zoom in, so that the problem can be easily solved.

Error 3: the focus of the error

Beginners learn photography, photographers will find that most of the photos taken are blurred or the focus is not on the main body of the picture. Due to the shift of focus, the unimportant elements in the picture become the clearest place, which changes the attention of the viewer.

Suggestion: Most portable cameras and all SLR cameras are half-pressed to lock the focus. Therefore, novice photographers need to lock the focus first, then pan and compose.

Error 4: Put the subject in the center of the screen.

If every photo you take puts the subject in the center of the picture, please change it quickly, because the work you take like this will make people feel dull and monotonous. In addition, the subject in the center of the picture will also interfere with other parts of the picture and affect the rendering effect of the picture.

Suggestion: In order to get rid of the single composition mode, novice photographers can start with the simple three-point method, and then slowly try curve composition, parallel composition, frame composition and so on.

Mistake 5: Don't consider the direction of light.

Many novice photographers don't consider the direction of light at the beginning of their contact with photography, so the works they shoot are often not ideal. "When taking portraits, people's faces appear yin and yang" and "light comes down from the top of their heads" are the mistakes they often make when shooting. Photography is a light and shadow art. Whether it is natural light or artificial light, as long as it is used well, it can be icing on the cake for photographic works, but if it is not used well, it will have the effect that the Buddha's head is covered with dung.

Suggestion: the direction of natural light projection will not change, but novices can find the best shooting angle by changing their shooting position or moving the position of the subject.

Mistake 6: Too close to the building.

When shooting a building at close range, in order to get a panoramic view of the building, the photographer needs to use a wide-angle lens to shoot. However, this practice will turn the vertical line into a diagonal line that converges to one point, causing obvious distortion.

Suggestion: The best way is to shoot with a long focal length lens at a distance, rather than shooting with a wide-angle lens at a close distance. In addition, the focal plane of the camera should be parallel to the building plane. If there are other buildings opposite the building that can be boarded and photographed, be sure to use them.

Error 7: Picture elements grab the dominant position.

In order to ensure the integrity of the picture, many people will try to put all the information into the lens. However, this practice will lead to confusion in the picture and insufficient prominence of the subject.

Suggestion: When shooting, you should know how to choose and know what is the most important content in a work. In addition, check the surrounding environment before shooting to avoid unnecessary elements interfering with the main body of the picture.
