How to start your photographic journey

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Photography is an art, of course, nothing wrong. But any art is based on technology, do not think that artists seemingly arbitrary creation is really random, the arbitrary premise is mastered based on mastery, it is difficult to achieve the perfect without the accumulation of technology art.

Therefore accumulation is very important

How to learn photography? It may be that everyone has their own different ways, depending on your personal learning style and how to accept new information. Of course, constant practice is a must for technology, just as I said in "Remember to take a picture every day."

Of course, photography cannot be done without a camera. Photography is always an art created with tools, but tools are always just tools that cannot be neglected nor can they be overridden. We need never be the most expensive camera, but the most suitable camera.
How to find your own camera? Do not listen to others, do not easily recommend others, most people are inevitably subjective, they will recommend to you what they think is good or suitable for their camera, and may not be you really want. You need to do your homework yourself and learn about the different types of cameras and the themes that suit the different focal lengths.

For example, if you want to shoot the streets, then what you need may be just a Compact Camera; if you want to shoot portraits, then you have to consider a large telephoto lens, and then further may need to consider the lighting Expansion; If you want to shoot wild photography or sports photography, you have to have a continuous shooting performance of the fuselage and a good quality telephoto lens.
There will not be any camera suitable for all themes, the more themes that fit, the more general the quality may be. SLR (or high-end non-anti) the reason why the professional is not because of the appearance of bluffing, but because of the scalability of the lens, and different focal lengths of the lens, then used to deal with different topics.
So the most important thing is to choose the camera that suits yourselves according to your own habit.

To take a good shot on the need for multi-shot, this sentence will never be wrong, we should take pictures into our habits, see the picture like it on the shot down. Fortunately, the equipment is now able to take pictures everywhere; the phone can shoot a good picture.
The more pictures you take, the more sensitive you look at the feel of the picture, the easier it is to distinguish between what kind of picture is better and which picture is not easy to shoot.

For beginners, life's picture is always the best way to learn photography. It may be difficult to film a portrait shoot on the streets. We do not know how to make a picture, but we do not know what kind of focal lengths are suitable for the picture at the moment, not to mention the fastest response to the moment.
Still, the still life in life scenes is less complicated, or small objects, or some simple scenes of life, or even the streets you usually pass by, can be part of our daily practice.
Relative to those constantly moving pictures, the still pictures give us plenty of time to combine and reconstruct images according to their own preferences, and we can also use different focal lengths to capture the differences.
Although these stills should not always be taken, it is clearly possible at the beginner's level to help us get a better start and better understand the imagery. As we shoot more and more thoroughly understand the imagery, we should try out more different types and themes to help us adapt to different situations.

Also do not always nest in their comfortable corner, in the inertia will also lose all around the freshness, and will lose the enthusiasm for photography.

Take advantage of the holiday out to go, do not go too far, go to the city you have never been to the corner, remember with a camera, do not give yourself too much pressure, do not expect what they can shoot good earthshaking good photos, With the attitude of just walking around, to observe the world you have never noticed before, take the moment you want to record, there will be a good harvest.
