What is the essence of photography?

The essence of photography is recording, but recording is the wonderful moment of that moment.

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 a photosensitive medium by using the light emitted or reflected by an 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.

Generally speaking, people take pictures with visible light, and cameras are the most commonly used. Because of different scenes and uses, cameras have many classifications.

Generally speaking, a camera must have several basic components to ensure the exposure process, including: photosensitive medium, imaging lens, exposure time control mechanism, film cassette, storage medium, electronic photoreceptor and electronic storage medium.

Photography technology:

First, use a tripod:

The camera must be mounted on a tripod to prevent the camera from shaking when shooting. Try to keep the camera close to the subject, and be careful not to introduce unnecessary shadows.

Second, the focus track:

Although it is not necessary for shooting, the focus track is a good auxiliary device, which can help you take good close-ups. The focal track can make the camera move along the X-axis and Y-axis in very small increments, and can accurately control the camera position and the depth of field of the picture. It is very troublesome to move the triangular bracket to the ideal position.

Third, use cable to release:

Even if you have installed the camera on a tripod, if you press the shutter carelessly, it may still shake the camera, so in order to avoid this situation, I suggest you use cable release.
