How can I improve my writing ability?

1, improve observation ability In photography creation, observation is the source. Good photographers can shoot excellent works because they have photographed events and contents that many people have not seen through observation, showing angles that many people have not seen or ignored.

Specific methods:

Regular practice in daily life, even if you don't carry a camera, you should observe and think about the characteristics of different scenes, which is helpful to improve your observation. To learn to grasp the visual feeling, we should carefully observe and analyze the current characteristics of the object when shooting, and also carefully observe and find some details that can reflect the differences in real shooting. This must be the key to making your photography unique. Don't just stare at familiar scenes and shooting methods, but also pay attention to some details and special angles and try to shoot. After a period of practice, I believe you can improve your observation ability quickly.

2. Always observe the scene to be shot in the composition, and don't rush to shoot. The correct way is to observe from multiple angles, move the camera position back and forth, left and right, and watch and observe from different angles (panoramic view, local view, front view, side view, back view, top view and bottom view) with different focal lengths, so that it is possible to take distinctive photos.

There is a difference between the human eye and the camera lens. What you see is not necessarily what you get, especially when you have not trained a pair of "photographic eyes". When shooting, you may wish to do experiments several times, then play back through the camera display screen, compare and observe the effect in the lens, adjust the composition in time, and finally make a formal creation.

If we analyze photos from the perspective of composition, we should analyze them from the aspects of creative theme, composition form, subject position, foreground and background treatment, pattern application, spatial layout, color and tone. Don't delete the waste films you think at once. You should carefully observe and analyze these photos, find out the reasons for the shooting failure, sum up and think more, so that you can get rid of many cognitive problems and mistakes and accumulate experience, which is of great help to improve your photography level.

When looking up photos on the computer, you must have the idea of re-composition. With the help of the later software, you can cut out the waste films you think and typeset them again. Maybe you can turn waste into treasure and get good photographs. This shows that you have a new understanding of composition through observation and thinking again, and it is also a sublimation of your composition ability.

Photography creation needs comparison and communication in order to find out the gap of one's own works and make continuous progress. It's good for learning photography to communicate with photography friends more. There are some mature photography forums and communities on the Internet (including WeChat official account and QQ group), which are all good photography exchange gardens.

3. Appreciating excellent photographic works Photography is an art, which requires the photographer's own aesthetic quality. Some people have better aesthetic ability and it is easier to take good-looking photos. There is no need to be pessimistic for beginners whose aesthetic ability is not very good. As long as they practice more in the early stage of study and cultivate their own aesthetic feeling of photography, they will soon catch up and make up for their inherent shortcomings in photography.

See more, accumulate more, and make progress imperceptibly. An excellent photographic work will inevitably show the beauty of content and form. So when we appreciate it, we should understand it from two aspects: the beauty of content and the beauty of form.

The beauty of content contains multiple meanings, including ideological meaning, philosophical meaning, moral and emotional meaning, etc. , mainly to stimulate people's healthy thoughts and noble sentiments; Formal beauty is a form corresponding to the content, a plane composition of shape, line, light and color, and it is the composition that we focus on.

Learning the art of composition from painting is often the same, and photography is similar to painting. Generally speaking, painting art has a history of thousands of years, while photography has only a history of 200 years. All photographers can draw enough nutrients from painting.

In the principle of composition, photography and painting require balance, contrast and echo, rhythm, virtual reality, coordinated proportion and a sense of space. Learning photographic composition, we might as well appreciate some famous paintings at home and abroad, which will help us understand the composition knowledge of painting and learn from its advantages in modeling and color, which is of great help to photographic composition.
