What is camera consciousness?

The lens consciousness here refers to the photographer's observation ability. Camera consciousness comes from the brain and vision. To take good photos, it is not enough to have skilled photography skills, but also to have a pair of sharp eyes that are good at discovering. Sharp-eyed discovery is the premise of taking good photos. A good photo is the result of discovery first, and then the ability to shoot. Sometimes you can take a good photo just by taking a picture, but it is accurate at best, and you won't always be accurate. Only by paying attention to observation, keeping camera awareness at all times and constantly honing your eyesight can we foresee and capture more wonderful moments. But if you want to have a pair of sharp eyes that are good at discovering, you must cultivate your own lens, pay attention to observation and improve your sensitivity.

As a photographer, there is an important characteristic requirement, that is, snapshot. Capturing tests the ability to discover and capture, that is, considering the "lens in the eye" and whether there is a pair of sharp eyes that are good at discovering. Photography is an instantaneous art, and news photography is an instantaneous moment, which is difficult to meet, wonderful and fleeting. So we must have a hunch and early warning. This kind of premonition and early warning comes from the inner camera consciousness, which is manifested in the keen eye discovery.
