How to get started with photography?

Learning photography can start from a relatively narrow subject, which is convenient for learners to determine the initial equipment. It's a good choice to start with mobile phones. You can choose those relatively quiet scenes, such as flowers and plants, beautiful gadgets, people in a quiet state and so on. This is the richest thing to shoot in life. Mobile phones will force beginners to pay more attention to the most basic elements of photography, such as composition, tone use, shooting timing and so on. The more rigorous you take photos with your mobile phone, the more eager you will be to get a camera that is really easy to control. You won't feel the good feeling of having a sharp knife in your hand until you pick up the camera.

Here are some common mistakes made by novice photographers:

1. Give up prematurely

Many people have committed this kind of thing. They spent a lot of money on cameras and photography skills courses/books, went to a great shooting location, and then gave up soon-because they were a little tired, hungry or bored. There are still many people who don't spend too much energy in one place, probably because they think the first photo is good enough. But experience tells us that the best photos often appear after trying all angles. There are countless photos on the internet now. If you want to get some different results, you must pay more time and energy. If you persist a little longer than others, you can become a better photographer.

Take a portrait with a wide-angle lens

When the portable digital camera is turned on, the lens is generally located at the wide-angle end. Most SLR camera lenses are also located at the wide-angle end when they are put away, so that they can be easily put into the camera bag. So wide angle has become the default choice for many people. However, the distortion of wide-angle lens is not suitable for portrait photography, especially when taking close-ups of people. Unless you deliberately pursue this effect, please remember to turn the lens to the telephoto end. A telephoto lens can often take more attractive portrait photos.

3. Take a blurry photo.

At the shutter speed of 1/8s or even 1/80s, the camera is very sensitive to jitter. Novices often don't realize that photographers with a little experience feel stable. If it is not intentional, blurred photos are usually unwelcome. Many photo contests and magazines don't use blurred photos. The most important thing to take clear photos is to keep the camera stable. The best way is to use a tripod. But it doesn't matter if you can't always carry a tripod. Nowadays, many lenses have anti-shake function, and the high sensitivity effect of the camera is also improving. So don't be afraid to improve ISO sensitivity except to find a bracket to keep it as stable as possible.

Step 4 shoot the building too close

In order to get a panoramic view, it is necessary to lift the camera or use a wide-angle lens when shooting nearby buildings. Doing so will make the vertical line become a diagonal line that converges to a point, or there will be obvious distortion. How can I make parallel lines also be parallel lines in photos? Theoretically, you need to keep the focal plane of the camera parallel to the building plane. This involves many photography skills and methods. Generally speaking, you can hold the camera high instead of shooting it backwards. If there are other buildings opposite the building where you can take photos, you must use them. In order to reduce distortion, try to shoot with a long focal length from a distance instead of shooting with a wide angle at close range. But be careful not to let irrelevant things enter the picture.

5. There is no clear subject in the photo.

Finally, most photos will never be noticed, just because there is no clear subject or too many messy elements, which makes people confused. This is due to the difference between our observation of the world and the camera that records the scene. We will focus on what we want to see and ignore other things, but the camera will faithfully record everything in front of the camera.

In order to avoid this problem, the most common method is to shoot at close range. Most people want to shoot the whole scene, so they shoot the farthest distance with the widest focal length. As a result, the photo is very small and has no influence. Boldly approach the shooting. In addition, we should learn to highlight the subject with light and color. Get into the habit of checking the background and know what you are shooting.

The word photography comes from the Greek word φ? Phos (light) and γ ρ α φ ι graphics (painting, painting) or γ ρ α φ? Graphê together means "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras. Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.

1, take photos, make movies or TV. Zheng Ze's Poem Invited by Photography in Renzi Autumn Temple: "Photography travels in a lifetime, either left or right." The first chapter of Hong Shen's film and drama performance: "Drama can't completely reflect life like photography reflects scenery." Such as the studio.

2. refers to photos. The eleventh time of "Evil Sea Flower": "I opened it, then opened the paper bag, but it was wrapped in layers. It was not until the last layer that I revealed a foot of western photography. There are two beautiful western women on it. "

3. Extension refers to true reflection. Huang Manxu: "There is a generation of political and religious fashion, and there is a generation of academic thoughts, one after another, one after another, and the rest cannot be recovered. For photographers, they will talk about history, and for phonographers, they will talk about literature. " [ 1]?

4. Photography is an applied science of photography developed with the formation and development of traditional photography technology. Based on photographic optics, photographic chemistry and electronic technology, it has formed a unique shooting system in long-term practice.
