Photography hobby and philosophy of life

If he is not a news photographer who takes photography as a profession, an ordinary photographer or a photography enthusiast, his philosophy of life has at least three points: always explore beautiful things and look at life from a positive perspective; Get a better life experience through proper tailoring; Moderately "fuzzy" and improve your life realm.

Let's start with the first one. Photography is a science of looking for beauty. When taking pictures, always take some beautiful photos for yourself and others to enjoy and get pleasure. To take beautiful photos, we must first know what beauty is and learn to appreciate it. If you don't know beauty, it's difficult to take good-looking photos. It is not enough to know beauty, but also to discover beauty, and to have the vision and ability to discover beauty.

Buddhism only knows that everyone has his own mountains and rivers, which is based on "Aryan knowledge". Wang Yangming talks about "nothing outside the heart" because he wants to highlight "where the meaning lies" and focus on building a meaningful world. The world is so big, what we see is always a small part. Limited by the observation angle, subjective consciousness, personal preferences, technical means and people's mentality, the world people see is often the world they want to see and the world in their hearts. As the saying goes, "See things from me, so everything is my color." Therefore, everyone's mountains and rivers are different, and everyone has their own meaningful world.

There are both beautiful things and ugly phenomena in the world. If a person only looks at ugly things, everything he sees is ugly. I have met some people in my life, just like supervision engineers, who are always finding fault. This is not good, and that is not good. Supervision engineers find faults in order to do things better. Finding fault in the world will only make yourself and sometimes others more annoyed.

There is a classic story in psychology, which says that there is half a bottle of water left in the desert. Optimists say there is still half a bottle, pessimists say there is only half a bottle left. Facing the same half bottle of water, optimists and pessimists have completely different life experiences. Therefore, it is very important to look at the problem, observe the angle and people's mentality.

Therefore, if you want to find beauty in photography, your eyes will be fixed on beautiful things, and you will also observe things from a beautiful perspective and look at life with a positive attitude. Such people will have a positive attitude towards life and be more tolerant and tolerant of people and things.

Let me talk about the second one. After the photos are taken, they usually need to be cut properly. The so-called editing is to re-compose the composition on the basis of the existing photos and remove some unnecessary elements to highlight the theme. When taking pictures, especially when traveling, the time is in a hurry, so it is difficult to have time to carefully consider the composition. At this time, it is very important to re-compose the composition. Sometimes, many unnecessary scenes in the environment just squeeze into your lens, and you need to send these uninvited guests away. Post-cutting can often play the role of finishing touch.

? Some people think that the broken arm of Venus, the treasure of the Louvre in France, affects the beauty of the works. The artists designed many schemes to help Venus continue this broken arm. In the end, people found that Venus with a broken arm was the most beautiful.

In fact, life also needs to be cut. Nowadays, people have a fast pace of life and great pressure. Why is this happening? What if it's not? I'm afraid many people may not have thought about it. Everyone only knows that the house should be bought, and it should be big; If you want to buy a car, you have to save face; Children should be tutored, and they should not lose at the starting line. Socrates once said, "An unexamined life is not worth living.

It's worth living. "If you can re-examine your life and make appropriate tailoring, maybe you will have a better life experience and maybe your life will be more exciting.

Finally, let me talk about the third rule. A good photo, not all details need to be taken clearly and sharply. Of course, except for the "counting Mao Party". When shooting, some parts and elements are deliberately blurred by means of aperture and focal length to highlight the focus or better express the hierarchy. This process is generally called obfuscation. Obviously, blurring and clipping are different. Cutting is to remove redundant parts, and blurring is to deliberately blur the parts that are not important, set off, or cannot be removed.

Running a life is a bit like taking pictures. You don't need to be "awake" anytime and anywhere, you are smart. Sometimes being a little confused and stupid is not necessarily a bad thing. There is a kind of person who is "smart" and is good at calculating anything at any time. This kind of person, from the perspective of optimization, always works hard near the local optimum. Another kind of person is smart in big things and confused in small things. This kind of person, even without great achievements, will appear atmospheric and free and easy, calmly face problems and truly realize the wisdom of life. Didn't Confucius also say, "I'll take care of it." From the perspective of optimization, he works hard near the global optimum. So Zheng Banqiao said, it's hard to be confused. There are two kinds of people in life who look confused or "stupid". One is a very smart person who deliberately behaves "stupid" for some purpose. The other is a person who has a clear goal in life and can "let go". The former kind of people, political and business circles abound, not much discussion. The latter kind of people, for some petty profits, don't want to spend more energy, so as not to interfere with the main goal of life. Confusion or stupidity in trivia is very similar to "blur" in photography.

Wang Guowei once put forward three realms of life in "Words on Earth": "The west wind withered the green trees last night. A person in a tall building, watching the end of the world; I will not regret that my belt is getting wider, and I will languish for Iraq; Look for him in the crowd. Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light. " If it is used to describe the three realms of photography, it is also very appropriate. There are many views on the realm of life. Generally speaking, it can be divided into "the realm with me" and "the realm without me" Although "the realm with me" can be subdivided into "my realm" and "my realm", it is generally believed that "the realm without me" is the highest. "Vagueness" can improve the realm of life to some extent, and even make people gradually enter the free and easy realm of "tireless desire, not complacency".

In a word, photography does have something in common with one's philosophy of life. Either photography influenced a person's philosophy of life, or a person's philosophy of life made him fall in love with photography. Zhuang Zhoumeng Butterfly, who knows?
