What are the basic knowledge of photography?

Photography is basically divided into three parts: point, line and surface. Point refers to focus, line refers to line, and surface refers to composition in shooting!

concentrate

Visual center focus. Generally refers to the central focus that can reflect the theme of the picture. For example, a running deer, a child standing in a stream of people, etc. This is called the focus of the video center. There can be one or more. Multiple ones can set off each other, and the key points are different.

Focusing means that the subject is clear. Generally, manual cameras need to manually twist the focus ring to accurately focus on the theme realization information, while automatic focus cameras focus by pressing the shutter for half a beat.

line

In online classification, different types have different functions. We can divide lines into three categories: horizontal, diagonal and curve. And there are countless things in this form in life. Curved roads and straight tree trunks can all be regarded as "lines" in photography creation.

composition

It refers to the use of visual features to organically reproduce the objects in the three-dimensional space environment in real life in the two-dimensional space defined by corners, which plays the role of highlighting the subject, attracting attention, simplifying clutter and giving people a balanced and harmonious picture, and conveys and explains more information through the picture structure, reflecting the author's understanding and feelings about a thing.
