What books should beginners of photography read?

I believe that although we have entered the digital age, we still need to master the basic knowledge of photography. In my opinion, since you are exposed to photography, you should learn to understand five books.

The first book to read carefully, of course, is the product manual!

In the photography forum, if someone asks the eye-catching answer in the product manual, they will be beaten up. Only by fully understanding the products and basic operations can we give full play to the advantages of the system. Only in this way can the camera really become your tool.

The second book to read is New Photos.

Yes, many people say that New Zealand is getting old. Yes, New Zealand is ancient. When it gets old, it will sob, leaving only the essence. People have different pursuits for photos. Let's not say that the pursuit of bright and bright is not necessarily suitable for new photography, but in my opinion, it is still a photographic bible. The three requirements at the beginning, theme, theme and conciseness, are the basis for us to judge the film from beginning to end. If you understand the new camera, it will become your right hand. You will start to be happy for light and shadow, and happy for color.

The third book to read is Emotion.

Too impetuous people can't use the camera well, because all he sees is clothes and expressions, and what he shoots is beauty or ugliness, not like or dislike; Smile or tears, not happiness or sadness. Movies made like that are called shutter machines. Simply making a movie is not photography, let alone art. Photography is the feeling hidden behind the movie! Unfortunately, most people are still reading this book, so am I, but knowing the direction, I think we will break through. When you break through this step, the camera can become your mood, and you can easily return to the scene of opening a film, accompanied by a cup of tea, half a pack of cigarettes and a quiet afternoon.

The fourth book to read is Life.

Too young people can't understand the true meaning of photography. Yes, there are many kinds of cameras on the market now, including Sony T200 and other fashionable models. However, positioning photography as Sony's fashion would be a mistake. Photography is not fashion. Behind these two words is the accumulation and essence of predecessors for many years. Look out of the frame and turn the focus ring. When the scenery began to be clear, you could vaguely see the master's figure drifting by, dumbfounded and agile. The lens expresses the world in your eyes and your understanding of life. A master photographer, when shooting scenery, he will be full of awe; When taking pictures of flowers and birds, he was filled with joy. When taking pictures of humanities, his bones were engraved with compassion. The lens is life, and your film is your understanding of the world. At this point, the camera is your partner, you can't feel its existence, but it has really begun to blend into your life.

The fifth book to read is your own heart.

Everything in the world is actually a projection of your heart, and your heart is free, so you are free! At that time, you were no longer interested in the ebb and flow of the tide, and the prosperity and decline were fleeting, with one head and one machine. Since then, the legendary swordsman. All articles are handy, and picking Ye Fei flowers can hurt people.
