Photography beginner course

1. Novice photographers should not blindly buy equipment.

Many good photos on the internet are not taken with expensive photographic equipment, and entry-level cameras can also take excellent photos with good use. When you take better and better photos, your experience will tell you what kind of camera and lens you should use. It's time for you to upgrade your equipment.

Buy a tripod

It is very necessary for a novice photographer to buy a tripod. Just buy a cheap one with similar functions. This is more necessary for some photographers whose hands are shaking when taking pictures. Buying a tripod can greatly improve your imaging quality. In order to improve the stability of tripod, I suggest using the timing function of tripod and camera.

Carry a camera with you

Opportunities to take pictures often come when you don't expect them, so it's important to take photographic equipment (a small camera bag and tripod) with you, so that you can get unexpected shooting opportunities in some places. Of course, if you are in a scenic place, you can also use a mobile phone with a camera to make a "mark" and come back to shoot after you get the camera.

4. Record the list of scenic spots you want to shoot.

Sometimes you will encounter a scenic spot that is worth shooting without a camera, so record the details of this scenic spot with a notebook, which will help you take beautiful photos. When recording scenic spots, we should also pay attention to details: such as season, light and so on. In this way, you will come back at the same time in the same season, and you will get the ideal photos.

Don't ignore the surrounding environment.

For a novice photographer, there is nothing new to shoot in the living room or backyard, but you can always see something new when you go out. However, if you look at a familiar place with fresh eyes, you may find that you can shoot strange lights at home or see unexpected wild flowers in the backyard. Often excellent photos come from ordinary scenes.
