This is similar to the way photos are taken in Weibo, a hot pepper blog. Do you have to use a high-end SLR camera to achieve that effect?

First of all, I tell you that the camera used to choke pepper is a Quan Huafu SLR-Canon 5D MarkII, which also uses Canon's top red circle lens. The optical quality of these lenses is not comparable to that of ordinary lenses. Good operation in the early stage, you can take very beautiful photos in the later stage.

I can tell you for sure that there is no simple learning method. If you look at the pictures in their early blog posts, you will feel very general, and they are not brilliant in composition, color or overall collocation. In the art of photography, there is no simple way to reach the peak in a short time. What is needed is to keep practicing and try to find the method that suits you best.

The camera you use is Canon 450D, which is a classic entry machine that we all know. Don't feel inferior. Many professional photographers also use this camera. The lens is the most important investment compared to upgrading the camera. You might as well buy a "small spittoon", a large aperture lens of Canon 50 1.8, and the price is only over 600, which is the cheapest lens of Canon. The advantage of a large aperture is that the background is blurred and the main body of the character can be highlighted. This lens is cost-effective and can shoot a lot of things. Can be used as your introductory hand training lens.

Then you need photography knowledge. You need to know how to compose a picture, adjust the aperture, shutter speed, exposure value, white balance and so on. Blind shooting can make a good film, but he can't learn anything. A little basic knowledge of photography will definitely help you. You can read more relevant tutorials on weekdays and don't throw away the manual. The manual is your first textbook, which can teach you the most basic operations and settings.

In the end, only practice is left. You can take more photos and post comments on the forum. Don't be afraid of being criticized. Without criticism, there will be no progress.

In addition, if you want a photo like Chili, it is also helpful for later study. Pepper is well done in the later stage, but the preparatory work in the early stage is also very good, and it needs to cooperate with each other. Since the SLR is used, it is convenient to download one-click beautification software such as Photoshop, Magic Hand of Light and Shadow, Meitu Xiu Xiu, but it is very limited, and it is easy to be similar to others. The most important thing is that it will damage the fineness of the photo. Since you have used a SLR with better image quality, don't let your photos be destroyed in these softwares. It is more reliable to use Photoshop. PS may be difficult at first. You can buy some books, or go to PS or some forums to read more tutorials. If you are afraid that P will be destroyed, you must back up your photos first.

Many of pepper's photos use lenses like 16-35 2.8. The wide-angle zoom lens with large aperture will have a little distortion effect, and the viewing angle is larger, which is suitable for shooting scenery. But taking a portrait with pepper feels a little slender and has a stronger visual impact. Canon's big ternary, Baidu's own, are the world's top lenses. Good lenses are very important, but if you can't afford such expensive lenses, you can also choose some deputy factory lenses with high cost performance. However, you must learn some photography knowledge first, understand the equipment you need, and then consider buying it, so as not to be deceived.

I suggest you study more and practice more. Pepper is a photographer. He usually spends a lot of time and energy on it and shoots a lot. Only step by step can we get today's beautiful photos. Don't try to succeed in one step, calm down and slowly combine theory with practice.
