Scenery documentary photography is well documented.

I am very grateful to Chairman Guo and Secretary-General Wu for providing a communication platform for the Shadow Teahouse, and sharing with you the experience of how to quickly improve the photo editing ability by using American English.

As a photography enthusiast, I started using digital cameras in 2007 and have accumulated tens of thousands of pictures. The theme involves humanistic documentary, natural ecology, macro sketches and so on.

At the beginning of photography, like most film friends, it was purely for self-entertainment, enriching spare time and discovering the beauty around us. As time goes on, images will fill up the computer hard disk space.

In the network age, mutual communication has become fast and smooth. Like movie friends, I also send my photos to WeChat friends circle or QQ space. Every time I give a thumbs-up and get a moment's satisfaction, I feel that the improvement of photography level is very small.

In the summer of 20 16, I began to contact the self-media graphic editing software "Meipian", trying to use this powerful platform with pictures and texts to tell the emotions in my images and the stories behind them.

So, what's so good about the editing software of American films? What are the benefits?

@ You can display at most 100 pictures at the same time, and the graphic editor can do whatever he wants.

@ You can read pictures, match pictures, add background music and dynamic videos, which are vivid and pleasing to the eye;

@ You can modify the text and update the pictures in real time, constantly improve your aesthetic ability and form a unique personal style;

@ You can share Weibo, WeChat friends circle, QQ and other media platforms, and your works are widely spread;

You can send English to the corresponding circle to check the reading volume and the geographical data of the visitors.

Obsessed with this media for more than a year, I edited and produced more than 20 beautiful works, long or short.

Let's share our experience of how to use American writing to supplement pictures and tell stories with film friends:

In the digital age, photography has become very easy. SLR cameras can shoot, so can mobile phones.

In the network age, only taking photos does not pay attention to editing, and is not good at telling the story behind the image. The works you shot at the cost of time and money are instantly submerged in the vast amount of information, and it is difficult to achieve effective communication purposes.

In my spare time, I took a certain number of documentary images of humanity in Shiban Street, Suixi Ancient Town, Anhui Province. Shoot the ecological theme images of lotus flowers all year round; Took a sketch that didn't look grand. ...

With beautiful writing, I tried to sort out, classify, refine and analyze the complicated images, such as the Old Street series, and edited and produced five theme series: Years on Slate Street, Opening the Door of the Old City, Touching the Wall of Years, Locking the Door Handle and Landscape Painting on the Door Panel.

Take "Opening a Door in the Old City" as an example, that is, around Shiban Street in the old city, the images related to the old door are connected in series in an orderly way, and each image tells the real state and feelings of people in the old street in its own words. Such a beautiful article, like a cartoon, has a story that makes the ordinary image extraordinary.

Before there was a beautiful article, I also encountered such confusion from time to time. The work I shot was sent to the WeChat circle of friends. Due to the limitation of form, each photo is difficult to unfold, and netizens can't accurately understand the intention and idea of the image.

Moreover, cinematographers see that some images on the Internet are flat in composition, light and shadow, but because of the text "voiceover", the audience will be moved together with the text to understand the meaning of the image.

Learn to use beautiful articles, with pictures and pictures, and be an editor for yourself. While editing and telling the story behind the image, it will also subtly improve its aesthetic ability and observation ability. Conversely, it is also an effective promotion for future shooting.

The above work is one of the exquisite works in A Short Photo Talk, which was shot with a mobile phone. The idea of shooting is to discover and pay attention to the great small themes and scenes around us, express their feelings, and cultivate the observation ability of fine children and the ability to simplify the complex. Are there some unique perspectives and feelings about the seemingly simple and easily overlooked themes that are grouped together?

In fact, in photography, everyone will encounter bottlenecks, stop, and have no interest in shooting. When editing beautiful pictures and texts, you will find your own broken boards and shortcomings as well as the defects of aesthetic ability in revision and comparison.

For example, it is recognized as the best and most difficult summer lotus. If you don't understand its natural growth habits, flowering and opening characteristics, the meaning of lotus varieties and colors, the images you shoot will either lack some charm or be tacky and ordinary.

Another example is how lotus leaves and lotus stems breathe. Why can water droplets stay between lotus leaves? Why are ancient literati's poems describing lotus flowers so charming? These all need homework, that is, we often say that kung fu is outside the poem.

The following images of summer lotus flowers, coupled with literature with their own feelings, are more innovative, and there is a story of lotus fields lightly deducting summer.

I'm just a photographer. Since I made pictures and words with the help of American editors, my photography level has improved obviously. I am physically and mentally happy from it and often shoot new things.
