What photography tutorial is good for beginners?

Real gold is not afraid of fire. The best shortcut to learning digital photography is to buy some good books.

First of all, I think digital photography is divided into many processes and fields, and we must master them all one by one. The approximate sequence is as follows: 1. First, introduce photography and literacy. 2. Learn simple ps post-processing. 3. Learn composition and use light. 4. Learn raw format processing. 5. Other related books.

1. Literacy of photography knowledge. If you have money in your pocket, just buy the famous "new york Photography Tutorial", which costs almost 2 yuan together. If you don't have money, buy an American Digital Photography Manual. (Ha ha, first of all, I recommended two books by foreigners. Am I a little idolatrous? (* _ _ *) ... Hee hee). If you don't like the poor translation of Digital Photography Manual, buy Easy Introduction to Digital Photography or Easy Introduction to Digital SLR Photography by China Electric Power Press (both of which are official courses of Oak Photography Network), especially the book Easy Introduction to Digital SLR Photography edited by famous digital photographer Yang Pin, which is very good, with beautiful pictures and rich techniques. My suggestion is that it is enough to buy one or two of the best literacy books, and there is no need to buy too many.

The best recommendation for digital photography literacy books: Easy Introduction to Digital Photography or Easy Introduction to Digital SLR Photography by China Electric Power Publishing House. These two books are official tutorials of Oak Photography Network, which are very systematic and contain all aspects of digital photography, and the pictures are very beautiful and typical. Each photo can explain a photographic term or skill, and it is by no means a purely appreciation album. These two books are very popular at present, and they are the two best digital photography books written by domestic authors.

2. Learn simple ps post-processing. If you have money in your purse, you can buy Photoshop CS3 Digital Photo Professional Processing Techniques (Color Printing) (79 yuan). If you don't have money, you can buy Photoshop Digital Photo Processing Techniques. Full-color printing is less than 3 yuan after Dangdang discount. This book is written completely from the perspective of photographers, which is very simple and easy to learn. Every case is very typical, and the processing method is very simple, absolutely.

The best recommendation for Photoshop books: The Complete Book of Photoshop Digital Photo Processing Skills, which is the easiest ps book to learn at present. Many ps books have the problem that they can't understand and learn, but even the elderly who don't understand computer operation can learn this book. In addition, this book contains almost all the problems that photographers have in dealing with digital photos. It is also equipped with DVD discs and video tutorials, which is really easy to learn.

3. Learn composition and lighting. China Youth Publishing House not only has the signature book "Digital SLR Photography Bible", in fact, the books with COMPOSITION and light consumption are also the best in China, such as "Composition Photography Composition" and "There are 2 Raiders of Photography Composition". Of course, the composition of digital photography written by Koreans is also very good and has a good reputation. My suggestion is that if you have money, you can buy all these books back. After all, different authors have different aesthetic views and perspectives, so we should fully and completely absorb them.

4. learn raw processing. Some people say that New York Institute of Photography Textbook and Digital SLR Photography Bible are professional books, but they are not at all. They are both big and comprehensive literacy books. Can help you know a little from nothing. If you want to master truly professional digital photography techniques, you must understand the raw format. I recommend two books, Full Analysis of RAW and Professional Techniques of Photoshop Lightroom Photographers (Color Printing), especially Full Analysis of RAW, which can help you change from an amateur photographer to a professional photographer.

The best recommendation of raw professional digital photography books: A Complete Analysis of raw, which is the first book in RAW format originally written by China people, gives an in-depth explanation of Adams' regional exposure method and right exposure theory, and introduces the shooting secrets and processing techniques of RAW format in detail. In particular, the introduction of Lihgtroom and Nikon NX2 is in place. With this book, many landscape photo PS technique books do not need to be purchased at all. In a word, this book can help you achieve perfect image quality. (I heard from friends on Mowgli that the copyright of this book has been sold to Taiwan Province, and it is a very rare professional digital photography skill book sold to Taiwan Province in recent years.)

5. An introductory book on burning machines. Most people who play photography like to play with equipment. I think Zhao Jia's Twelve Volumes of the Art of War and Top Photography Equipment are very good. Although reading these books is almost useless to improve photography skills and enhance aesthetic vision, it can make us have fun, hehe.

Summary: Finally, I personally think that most of the books in Japan and Taiwan Province are "picture books", and the pictures are really gorgeous, but in fact they are all very superficial sugar water photography works, and they can't learn anything practical. These digital photography books in Taiwan Province and Japan are far from the best-selling authors of world practical photography, such as Kelby, Haijike, Yang Pin and Lei Yili.

Of course, some people say that "learning poetry is beyond poetry", and so is photography. If you really want to take good photos, you still need to strengthen your own artistic accomplishment. Therefore, I recommend you to read such artistic and humanistic books as Feng Zikai's Talk on Famous Paintings, Human Art, and The Course of Beauty, which will definitely enhance your aesthetic vision more than these pure photography books recommended above.
