How to learn photography skills quickly?

Modern cameras are so smart that it should not be difficult to learn photography quickly by asking others for some composition methods.

But to learn photography quickly, not so fast. You must lay a solid foundation. With a solid foundation, you can create what you want in the future.

As for reading or using, of course, the combination of the two is the best.

If I have to choose one first, I think it is very important to study first. When there was no camera, I read almost all the books about photography in the school library and mastered the principle thoroughly. Later, I finally got a camera. The first photo I took was taken in the school photo contest and won the first prize.

At that time, film was also very expensive. Before each shooting, the composition and light consumption are carefully considered before pressing the shutter. Because the camera does not measure light, the exposure parameters of each shot should be recorded and the experience should be summarized.
