What should I know to learn photography?

First of all, you need to know why you study photography, travel and take pictures of scenery. Have a cool specialty to attract mm, or record the dribs and drabs of life. So you try to have a direction. Collect all the works you see that you think are good, and think about what is good if you have nothing to do. At this time, you don't have to think about technology, just think about beauty first. How do people choose the theme, how to arrange the composition, what are the advantages of color and how to use it. At this stage, you can watch the classics and the masters instead of your friends' works. After a period of great attention, your eyes will look up.

Then learn the basics. There are many textbooks in the bookstore, and some practical ones can be found online. In traditional textbooks, the imaging principle of film machine will be analyzed clearly, so as a general learner, you don't have to be so complicated. Watching too much and being bored will affect your interest. Just take the camera at hand, experiment with one function and one function, and search online when you encounter unclear concepts. Personally, photography is the art of running out of light. You have mastered the basic functions such as aperture, shutter speed, focal length, exposure index, exposure compensation, white balance, focus range, etc. The next shooting quality depends on your consciousness (aesthetics and creativity).

Don't underestimate these basic functions and how to use them under different conditions. This is definitely experience. Fortunately, there is no need for film and development now. You can see the effect now and study how to improve it. For example, you can use different aperture shutter combinations to take dozens of photos of the same object at the same distance and under the same light, and then compare them. Or compare it with different ISO, and you will have an idea.

Don't be frightened by those who are full of technical terms in the photography forum. No matter how advanced cameras and expensive equipment are, there are only a few principles of photography. Speaking of the equipment here, SLR is not too expensive now. If you want to learn, spend some money to buy one. But there is no need to buy something too expensive, just buy a relatively good one if your economic scope allows. This thing is updated too fast. When you get familiar with it and get better, you will know what is expensive for you. I have seen many people buy expensive equipment without using it. Of course, if your purpose is to dress up as a device controller and pretend to be 13, we won't discuss it, hehe. Then you can soak in more photography forums, and you can achieve this effect without photography.

As soon as the machine is started, it is to shoot more, shoot more, shoot more. Never underestimate the importance of experience. Good photographers stand on the bodies of countless bad films, hehe. For example, taking a bottle to shoot a still life at home is very different from going out to shoot landscapes. Taking a beautiful photo of a familiar friend and taking a memorable event, such as a wedding, are totally different concepts. As a photographer, only by constantly summing up in practice can we make progress. Don't just think. Be sure to watch this movie on the computer. What is good and what is bad?

At this stage, you should soak in the forum. The purpose is to learn from you and learn what is wrong with bad movies. However, in many photography forums, people's feelings are mixed together, and bad films will also be said to be good or not, so we must learn to distinguish them. I can take part in some activities, but I think it's basically useless to find a beautiful woman to shoot outside and then put a lot of long guns and short guns. A little effect is that the big aperture background blurs the big head of a beautiful woman, and a good photo is only the result of mm's good looks.

This is a matter of opinion. You can also buy photography magazines to study. Many of the above instructions are very professional and will be very useful.

In addition, the adjustment of the film in the later stage is also very important. You can pay less attention to this in the early stage. Just basically adjust the color scissors. After all, shooting well is the most important thing. However, you should learn to choose films. If you don't like movies, you will stick to them if you can't pass the customs. Slowly, you will become a photographer in your friends' hearts.

The above are the general principles, and the road to learning photography has just begun, so I won't say much. I sincerely wish you success in your studies! Hmm. How interesting
