Several problems about studying photography and living.

First of all, you should understand that photography is a very systematic thing, which requires systematic study and constant practice to master (just like snipers are piled up with bullets). Second, copy a sentence, time is like cleavage, there will always be a squeeze. Third, persevere! ? I began to learn photography in 1997, and I experienced no less "pain" than you. Let me give you some examples. After buying a new machine, I ate bean sprouts and rice for a whole month. After practicing the iron hand, the muscle was permanently damaged, and he failed the final exam, and then he was informed criticism; Going to the factory to take pictures was taken into the police station as a thief; Shooting the night scene and falling off the cliff ... So, if you don't have the determination to study hard for five years or even longer, and are not prepared for hardship, I suggest you give up now!

Share some of my previous experience in learning photography. I suggest you buy a stupid camera with several hundred dollars and several thousand dollars, and practice composition first. Why is it a stupid machine? 1, easy to carry, will not affect your work. Sometimes when you are at work or on the road, there will be some interesting things for you to shoot. 2. It's cheap and easy to use, and it's not a pity to wear it out. You know, before there was a digital camera, I piled it up with film. After work, you will find that there are already many pictures in the camera. Come down, compare and analyze, what composition method is used, and how the light is. As for the quality of photos, don't worry. The quality of the film taken by such a cheap camera will not be much better. You can slowly find the right angle, light and so on.

Don't be idle when you come back. After eating something, there are the following schemes:

1, take your SLR and shoot in the street. Don't be afraid of someone casting strange eyes, and don't be afraid of scolding. If there is any conflict, just delete the photo. Take the tripod and the lens, too. Don't be afraid of being heavy. Everything else can be sacrificed for a good movie. You can try to shoot portraits, street lamps, lights when vehicles pass by (long exposure), some famous buildings or buildings that you think are unique in appearance. Finally leave half an hour to summarize.

2, get a still life table, a soft box, a set of honeycomb lights and the like, and then take some small objects or character models and practice running out. Understand the characteristics of high school dark tone, positive side top back (reflection) light, and application examples. Suggestions are made by yourself, and other people's things may not be useful.

3. Read more books and magazines, and recommend some: New York Institute of Photography textbook series, [Core Techniques of Commercial Photography]. Childe. Color Picture Edition, Image Vision Magazine (there are many PS technologies) ........................................................................................................... At the same time, you can also go to a website like Hummingbird.com and put your works on it. Be thick-skinned and not afraid of scolding. Just improve.

4. Bring the previous works for re-creation, such as practicing drawing problem-solving skills and practicing ACR.

5, summary, it is recommended to take one day each month to summarize the previous works. Analyze advantages and disadvantages and improve methods.

P.S. The so-called three hours is complete nonsense. I suggest you postpone it.

Stick to this 1 year and you will get something. You can sort out your previous works, choose what you like, try to take part in some competitions, or join a photography team to let everyone criticize your works. Finally, the three points mentioned above are more practice, persistence and thick skin!

Portrait lens configuration scheme: it is unrealistic to give up 24-70 first, and don't ask for it because your friends are nice to you. You have to pay it back when you come out!

You can get a 50mm 1.4. This thing is not expensive, but it must be available.

Later, I got 85 gold rings and 28 bars. That's enough.

Ps: Be kind to your family, they are your most precious wealth! At least now you have a chance to be with them.

? Attached is the number of photos I took in a year. You can refer to this number. Since I bought my first digital camera in 2006, I dare not play film like this. )
