Why should I take pictures?

Definitely not a technical post. It's just that people who are used to sleeping at three o'clock and waking up at ten o'clock will have some ideas in their heads.

Recently, more and more people are thinking about this problem in a daze. On the way to work, when I was constantly retouching pictures at work, and when I was sleepy on the subway after work, I was thinking about it. As a result, the word photography was used in the title, not photography.

The more you shoot, the better the equipment and the more mature the technology, the more you feel that you can't solve this problem.

I came into contact with photography because of my best friend. He bought a SLR, so did I. Then I simply fell in love with this activity for more than three years. We have been to many places together, taken many photos, retouched and discussed together. So far, his highest evaluation is that I think you have a photo that is ok. And I didn't even say a similar compliment. Maybe that's why we like taking pictures at first. A friend, a SLR, and a photo attracted you. So that time was the most ignorant and of course the happiest. Why take pictures? It's none of my business.

As long as you learn to use the SLR, quickly press a dozen or twenty buttons on the machine to show that your technology is getting more and more sophisticated, and start using all kinds of mainstream or non-mainstream methods to use the machine freely only from the optical point of view, you will begin to have a period of extremely inflated self-confidence. Someone will start looking for you to take pictures, someone will look at your photo album, and when aunt sees you, she will tell her uncle next to her that you look after your child's camera professionally. At this time, uncle will say that it is called SLR with a little ridicule and disdain, you don't understand. At this time, you will start to compare your own films with others'. In the face of a slightly green photo, you will pretend to be modest and say that it is not bad. When you see a photo of the Great God, you will quietly write down the value and study it slowly when no one is around. Sports competitions, community activities, large or small activities may start to have your presence. As long as your IQ is normal and your hands and feet are agile, you will always be a SLR user after three to five months or a year. You take pictures at this time mainly because you have a SLR. Occasionally, there are some good photos, which are basically from complicated cameras and expensive lenses, and have little to do with the avatar behind the lens.

Further, I will start to hate my photos. Either you join a professional photography website, or you see other people's private sugar water in Japan, Europe and America, or you have a girlfriend. You will think why others always use up more than you, why other people's photos are still so beautiful when they are obviously not on the golden line, why other people's models always pose in a special but not stiff posture, and their girlfriends are goddesses and their own are foodies, etc. At this stage, you will be depressed, you will go out without a camera, you will take fewer photos, and you will be discouraged when others introduce you, but in fact I won't. After that, some people will start to buy new cameras, lenses, filters, tripod flashlights and continue to exert the power of science and technology. Gao Shuai will become the equipment party and the poor will become the black sheep. Others will start to pay attention to this part behind the camera, including your hands, eyes and even thoughts. Of course, these two kinds of people can become a guy named photographer after normal training, but their talents and skills are not the same. The premise is that you have never given up the pursuit of equipment or the love of photography.
