Several ways of self-study photography

I didn't know until I arrived that it was the era of national photography, and before that, I had just been in contact with photography for less than a month. I always spare no effort to get stuck in stereotypes. I used to laugh at myself like this, but later I gradually became interested in photography and gained some experience.

My understanding of photography is that you can get rid of the randomness of "taking a picture casually". Pick up the camera in your hand, and you will think of "framing, composition, lighting, multi-angle, theme, later stage" and so on. You will want to express a kind of beauty or a story, and you are already taking pictures. National photography also reflects the improvement of national aesthetics, just as girls nowadays choose exquisite makeup instead of always facing the sky.

Photography is an art as well as a discipline. If you don't learn photography from the beginning and don't take photography as your main business for the time being, then I'm afraid many people will try it systematically, because it's too tedious and boring, and it needs energy, time and money. Therefore, you should be interested, get started and try a little before thinking about systematic learning. Here are some ways to teach yourself photography, in this order.

Search "photographer" in Weibo, and many people's names will appear. You can go in one by one, look at their published works, choose a photographer who likes his style and pay attention to him. Some photographers regularly publish their own works to explain the shooting process to fans. It would be better if he took a beautiful shot. The photography videos they regularly release will let you know more intuitively how a good work comes from.

After such observation and research for a period of time, you will suddenly find that the original beautiful photos were taken in this way, which makes you feel a little eager. Then you can pick up your camera and find something to shoot.

Netease LOFTER is a social photo APP, which brings together the works of various styles of gods and gods for everyone to enjoy and learn. You can also publish your own works, get to know netizens and communicate with each other through mutual appreciation. This is a good experience.

There are many topics about photography here. You can add words to the photos, post them here, get likes, and increase your self-confidence, make two or three friends and improve together.

There have been many introductions about various retouching apps in the later period, so I won't repeat them here. The following is the retouching APP in my mobile phone for reference, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on personal preferences. Some of them are charged, but Universal Bao has solved everything for you. Go and search. There are bargains and maybe tutorials.

After this experience, you can already take some photos that you are satisfied with, and you will also get some likes. At this time, you will be full of confidence and will be very lost. After all, you are still far from the great god. If it's just a hobby, you can actually go here, or you can take some photos with few tourists in your daily life and when you go out to play.

But if you are in into the pit and have a strong interest in photography, you must study systematically. You must master 1. Photography theory, but also have to chew a few books; 2. Equipment and shooting principle, you can choose mobile phone, SLR, micro-single, and then understand and master your equipment to make it work for you; 3. At first, you may only use some filters of retouching APP, but if you want to be a great god, you must be proficient in PS. 4. shoot the theme. A good photograph is a story. You must see more, observe more and understand more, so as to make a good work.

There are many methods of systematic learning, but I haven't sorted them out yet. Students who don't reach out can go to Zhihu to ask questions and screen their own answers; You can also go to the hummingbird. There are many forums, which are summarized by experienced photographers. Students with plenty of money can take online photographer training courses.

1. I am not an equipment party. I have always thought that all kinds of equipment can produce good works. At present, it is only mobile phone photography; 2. I don't take photography as my main business, but I am interested; 3. I pay more attention to the early stage, and the later stage is essential, but it won't take too much weight; 4. I pay more attention to the subject matter and connotation of shooting and like to write words for my works, so I am reading LENS magazine now to improve my storytelling ability. 5. At present, I am only slightly satisfied with the framing ability, and the other skills are very poor, and I am still learning and progressing.

Show me a point that I am satisfied with. This is the scene I saw on a sunny night. The following picture was taken by hand, and it was taken in the linked article.

I thought of sunshine, the figure-eight hole in the iron fence, leaves and a flower in my hand, so I had my photography:

Composition/life is not only the immediate life, but also the immediate sunshine.
