What are the advantages of learning photography?

Recently, a friend wanted to learn photography and talked to me about photography. The theme of photography is relaxation and enjoyment. I successfully fooled my friend into the pit and wrote this article by the way.

1. Learning photography can increase exercise and make your body healthier; Photography is generally an outdoor activity, and walking and shooting can increase the amount of exercise. Because you concentrate on photography, your body is not easy to feel tired. If you are willing to become a literary youth, you can increase your exercise by 50% by using a fixed-focus lens.

2. Photos can be sent to friends circle with high quality; Due to the large size of the negative film of the camera, the photos taken are very textured, which is much better than the effect of taking photos with mobile phones and sending them to friends. If you are a fanatic, then photography is very suitable for you;

3. Photography can make you contact more people; Whether it is a gathering of ordinary friends or a group building activity organized by a company/school, photographers are required to record the activities, take a group photo as a souvenir and distribute photos afterwards. Generally, the photos of specific people are distributed to specific people, so that you have the opportunity to meet strange classmates/colleagues.

4. Help people who want to be self-media, solve the material crisis and avoid copyright disputes; As a self-media, it is difficult to escape the problem of picture copyright. If you use your own pictures, you don't have to worry about the copyright of the pictures!

Even amateur photographers can get some small income; After taking a good photo, you can upload it to the domestic material website Tuchong, and you will receive the sales share of the picture regularly;

6. Photography is a hobby that will not be out of date; Photography is hard to be replaced by machines. Non-human factors such as scene, angle, light and time determine the quality of a photo. Even if the computer is advanced in the future, it can only solve mathematical problems, and photography itself is more inclined to the category of art than mathematical problems, so it is impossible to establish an optimal model and there is no optimal solution. Humans are better at taking touching photos;

1. Mobile phone photography can also take good photos; Three skills to improve the quality of photography: defining the theme, highlighting the theme and simplifying the picture; The above three points can be done by both mobile phones and cameras. With the mastery of photography skills, mobile phones can also take good photos.

2. Mobile photography must be in RAW format! RAW format, commonly known as original image, is a lossless format. When the mobile phone uses RAW format to shoot, it brings great convenience to the post-processing of photos. You can correct the lens distortion with one button, restore the dark details to the greatest extent, and improve the final film quality!

3. The pixels of mobile phone photography are more or less gimmicks, the bottom level is overwhelming, and the big negative is the real strength; Camera modules of mobile phones and professional digital cameras all need to be imaged by photosensitive film, similar to film. The larger the film size, the better the imaging quality. The biggest difference between a mobile phone and a camera lies in the size of the film. For example, although the photos taken by smart phones do have 1 100 million pixels, the size of the negative is several times worse than that of the real 1 100 million pixel camera, so once the photos are enlarged, many mosaics will appear;

4. Leave the post-processing of mobile phone photography to the computer! Half the fun of photography is pre-shooting, and the other half is post-retouching; My most commonly used retouching tool is Lightroom. Although Lightroom also has a mobile version, the computer version of Lightroom is obviously much more powerful, and the efficiency of retouching is also guaranteed. Even if you take photos with your mobile phone, if you want to improve the quality of photos and import them into your computer, it will be easier for you to create high-quality photos.

5. The miniaturization of cameras is the general trend, and I personally am very optimistic about mobile phone photography; I started using Canon 70D on 14, with a condom, which is actually quite heavy. I comfort myself that cameras are like this! Recently, Canon produced a micro-single R series, and I started another one. Quan Huafu has excellent image quality and is very light. R series has also opened up a market for Canon, accounting for 45% of camera shipments. No consumer likes bulky cameras, and cameras know customers very well, giving priority to reducing camera weight;

1. Similar to mobile phones, the price of SLR cameras is high or low; As long as you can afford a mobile phone, you can afford a camera! The price of the first echelon full-frame camera is basically the same as that of a new iPhone, and the price of the entry camera is basically the same as that of the red rice mobile phone;

2. This kind of lens is worth a penny, and a dollar is a piece of goods; Cameras can replace lenses with various focal lengths, and the prices of lenses of various grades are very stable. Lenses belong to the kind of objects that will become stronger when charged with money. However, when they charge, the promotion is very limited, and even metaphysics is added. Generally speaking, there is indeed a gap between hundreds of shots and thousands of shots; However, the gap between 10,000 shots and 100,000 shots is very small;

3. Photographic equipment is more valuable than ordinary electronic products; Electronic products such as mobile phones depreciate rapidly. After three years, they couldn't even keep the price, but the prices of cameras and lenses were relatively stable. Take Canon's flagship red circle lens as an example, its price has been very stable. Even if the brand-new lens is released for five years, the price fluctuation can be controlled at 10%, and the price difference between the second-hand lens and the brand-new lens is only 10%~20%.
