500 pixel time-lapse photography

No matter what skills we learn, after learning for a period of time, we will gradually lose the motivation to learn, because we will meet the ceiling of learning, and gradually we will lose the motivation to shoot. I believe many photographers have this feeling, and of course I am no exception. So what can help us regain our interest in shooting? These methods can be considered.

Try to look at other people's excellent photos.

As photographers, we can't just indulge in our own works. To tell the truth, the world is rich and colorful. By watching other people's excellent works, we will find some new ways of composition, color expression and light treatment, thus discovering the "new world". How to achieve this effect will also ignite our fighting spirit and make us have the idea of picking up the camera and starting over. So where can we go to see the wonderful photos? You can try these photography websites: 500px.com and National Geographic. The photos inside can start your new journey.

Try to explore the new functions of the camera.

Cameras on the market now have many built-in functions, such as multiple exposures and time-lapse photography. At this time, we can pick up our camera manual and see if there are any new features that have not been used. Generally speaking, I know that the camera will have the following built-in functions. Let's see if there is anything you have missed:

Built-in multiple exposure: We can use this function to shoot with double exposure to increase the artistic conception of photos.

Surround exposure: This function can easily take a series of photos and can be used as an HDR photo combination.

Built-in time-lapse photography function: In this state, we can directly set the time delay on the camera to shoot without cable release!

Hou Lian synchronous flash: By using the built-in flash, it can help you take wonderful portraits at night.

AE-Lock: This function can help us to lock the photometric value, which will not change when composing.

Built-in electronic level: it will make your photos look good, and it is more convenient to use high/low angle composition.

You can also try special photo effects, such as small model, monochrome and photo special effects.

These built-in effects can also help our photos have more changes.

Borrowing an unused lens as much as possible can also help you open up a new world.

If we are poor or new to photography, we usually don't have many shots. In the circle of SLR, friends often exchange lenses to get some new effects. If we have friends who play SLR, we can try to borrow some lenses, such as 12mm super wide angle, 300mm telephoto, f/ 1.2 super aperture, extreme deformation 180? Fisheye lens, etc. It is really different from the fixed-focus lens we usually use. The photos we take have their own characteristics, and you will find that the whole world is different.

Try to use various devices of the camera.

I believe that when you buy a new photographic equipment, it will definitely stimulate your freshness. In addition to the camera body and lens, camera filters, decompressors, low-light mirrors, starlight mirrors, etc. Can bring different feelings to our photography. Even buying a tripod can bring many attempts to our photography. With new equipment, you can also try different shooting techniques to make the photos more diverse.

Take a theme photo

Shooting aimlessly will not only slow down your photography skills, but also make you feel that there is nothing to shoot, thus reducing the motivation of photography. At this time, you might as well set yourself a simple shooting theme, such as clouds, water, light and shadow, so that you can be more targeted when shooting, and you can focus more on finding the shooting theme, so that the chances of shooting a large film will be improved and we will feel full of satisfaction.
