What basic knowledge of photography should be mastered?

Introduction to photography, we must first understand photographic equipment, then understand photographic skills, and finally understand the history of photography.

Understanding photographic equipment is as essential as learning to hold a pen. The necessary knowledge includes: focal length, focusing, aperture, shutter, sensitivity, aperture priority mode, depth of field control, etc.

Photography skills are like learning to write a beautiful composition, which mainly includes composition, light and color, and then includes black and white photography, chemical darkroom and computer post-processing.

The history of photography also needs to be understood. Only by understanding the history of photography can we truly understand photographic equipment and some excellent photographic works.

Finally, learning photography is inseparable from constant practice, constant shooting and constant summing up of experience. You can't learn photography by reading books and surfing the Internet. I wish you a good photo as soon as possible!
