In fact, I always thought that teaching novices to learn photography was not an easy task, because although I think photography is a very simple and happy thing, no matter whether the newcomer is not confident or has been misled, most novices think that photography It is a bitter journey.
So, there are some things that I think should be understood by the novice.
1. Is it necessary to learn SLR cameras?
Actually not. Learning photography requires full control over exposure focus. So as long as there is a manual exposure function: S, A, M files on it. So micro-ah, some high-end DCs are all OK. However, I do not recommend that novices learn photography to buy small DCs, micro-singles and SLRs are all possible. But it is not non-SLR. Many people are losing their interest in camera photography because of the bulkiness of SLR.
Many people who listened to my class regret that the equipment they bought was wrong. But I will tell everyone that during the study period, I will use my hand well. When you can take pictures, you will naturally find what you need.
The above picture is taken with a card. As long as there are S/A/M files, as well as some basic focus modes, I think they can all learn photography well.
2, is it necessary to use M file exposure?
Many old mages in the forum said that they must use the M file to control the exposure. Actually, it's not necessary. More than 95% of my photos are taken in A-range. A small amount of shutter speed needs to be shot in the S range. A handful of shots are taken in the M range, which will only be used in some very special circumstances, such as when the camera metering range is exceeded, when there is a fixed exposure parameter, when the flash is used, or when there is frequent change of the live light. If you understand the principle of camera exposure, you will understand what file is actually the same thing. If you do not know the principle of camera exposure, you should learn it well in photography notes.
Lesson 13 How to Choose the Exposure Mode
When I use the most M files, I shoot the moon.
3, manual focus is more accurate?
Absolutely not, in most cases the success rate of manual focusing is far less than autofocus, especially for novices. Is it not as good as a novice's eyes and technology that the camera manufacturers have spent so many years developing and continuously improving the autofocus system? Manual focusing, like manual exposure, is basically used in extreme situations. For example, when you make a shot, such as shooting some high-speed moving objects, autofocus can not work at all, this situation is very rare. So, everyone still trusts autofocus.
The old EOS 5D's focus is really unable to shoot the black-headed gull, and I only focus manually.
4. Is it better to have a small aperture imaging?
In the era of film, perhaps this point of view has some standpoints, but now it is the opposite. First, the resolution of a digital camera is already high, and the smaller the aperture, the more pronounced the diffraction. What is diffraction? This is not important, as long as you know that the picture quality will be very bad. In addition, the current lens design concept is very different from before. The design of the new lens is designed according to the best effect of the maximum aperture. Therefore, the new lens is often a large aperture when the picture quality is good, when the aperture is less than the F11, the picture quality is bubbling. This idea is very good. If the maximum aperture can't be used, do you have to use such a large aperture?
The sharpness of the large aperture is also very good, as well as the background blur.
5, open the flash on dark?
Not to mention newbies, many media editors or so-called professional photographers that I saw on Weibo during the past two years are completely ignorant of the flash and have made a lot of jokes. First of all, if I see a good work that uses flash, remember that it is a good work. I will respect this photographer more because he is very rigorous. But if I see someone using a flash, I'll put him directly into the file. For example: When we look at some of the opening ceremonies, when the flashing lights on the stands flashed like stars, or when shooting mountains and rivers in the evening, the distant mountain was too dark and the flash was on. I told you that there is no use at all. Tell everyone a simple formula, GN value = aperture × distance. The GN value is the flash index, which is almost the flash index of your flash. The flash of a thigh has almost a GN value of 60. If your aperture is F2.8, it will light up to a distance of about 20 meters. If the misfortune is an internal flash, which is generally a GN value of 12, you are still a F4 or so aperture, and I'm sorry, you can only illuminate the range 3 meters away from you. How far is the stand? How far is the far mountain? illuminate? Dream it!
Sometimes you can't even light a flash.
6, UV mirror to the best?
There is no money to spend? UV Mirror This thing is a protective lens in the digital camera era. What is the protection of the lens, said plainly is to casually rub, casually made, broken, do not feel bad for a change, as long as the lenses of the lens do not hurt it. So why should such a lens buy hundreds or even thousands? Some people say that the more expensive UV mirrors are more transparent, yes, there is nothing wrong. But as a novice, do you really think that the UV effects you shot big? If it's true, when you're in a big movie, you can just unscrew the UV. Real Tyrant will not buy a very expensive UV, because local tyrants will let the lens be naked, do not care. So UV mirrors really do not need to pursue thousands of large brands of UV can.
Do not buy inferior UV on the line.
7, by the late everything can be beautiful?
First of all, Ning teachers must emphasize one point at a time. The latter part is very important for photography. A photograph can only be regarded as a semi-finished product in most cases. The main reason why Ning's photos are rarely late is because I teach photography skills, so I have to show you the original film so that you can achieve the same effect after you learn the skills.
However, when you start to learn photography, you pay too much attention to the effects of the later period. Instead, you will ignore the original content of your photo or your shooting skills. If one is not a good evening, one is not a good scene, but depending on the later period you can still adjust the colorful sky.
Although the scenery on the ground is not good-looking, although it is not a good photo, many newcomers will still be excited about this because they can only see part of the photo - the part that looks good.
Gradually, the novices will find that their inner heart is easily satisfied by the later period, so they no longer care about shooting content and shooting techniques, and gradually become biased. Either the color is too strong or black and white.
Because in the seriousness of the novice, black and white can cover up some embarrassment, if not, then increase the contrast. Little do they know that black-and-white photographs should pay attention to gray scales. Perhaps different colors will show the same gray level after they are converted to black and white, which will simplify the picture. On the other hand, irregular colors may form regular gray scales after turning black and white, which also helps expression for certain scenes.
Therefore, in the later period, it is actually a great science. This should also be based on the early shooting. Therefore, in the late stage of relying on beginners, in the eyes of professional teachers, it may only be fun.
Good shots in the early stages can make your photos very promising.
8, we dare to break the conventional?
When I comment on photos, I often say how you should do it, such as how good the composition is in the triad, and so on. Then often see people say that the rules are not used to break it? How to break the bottleneck without breaking? This is actually very ridiculous. It belongs to those who did not learn to walk and wanted to run. Many masters break the routine, but others are purposeful and meaningful to break. To break and break, it's not clear. So, just say, who do you think you are? Learn the basics first, have the ability, understand the truth, and then break it.
You first learned the basics.
9, no equipment suitable for beginners
Many people asked me if the teacher could recommend something suitable for novices.
In fact, what I want to say about this issue is that there is no equipment suitable for beginners. Or that the current mainstream cameras are suitable for beginners.
In fact, the line behind this question is: Is it right? For the novice to choose a cheaper camera, or choose a simple operation, professional SLR will not be difficult to use?
For the price issue, Ning and almost all experienced photography enthusiasts know that to buy the most expensive camera in your area, this is the real way to save money – because you don’t really save money. .
As to whether the camera is professional... OK, I think it depends on the number of buttons on the camera body. In fact, the more advanced the body, the more buttons on the body, the greater the ability to customize, this will make you operate faster. The general sense of the "entry-level" fuselage many settings but have to enter the menu frequently, this operation is more tedious.
So, for example, if you are a rich second-generation driver, you now have a driver's license to buy a car. Will you choose an entry-level car? Just because you are a novice.
True masters will certainly hold sharp weapons. Our mobile phone photography teacher, Teacher Li Bai, is using a mobile phone to create, but you see his canon micro-single on his chest. In fact, there are Leica cards in his backpack...
10, zero basis to go to the studio is useless
When many people do not even understand the aperture shutters, I hope that I will give them a certain plan for the road to photography.
And their plan is to find a photo studio, and then the equipment is solved. Then the photographer will teach you the skills. Then you learn a skill and earn a pot of gold. Then the apprentice learns to starve at the master. , open a photo studio.
After the global travel shoot, make big money, then pick up the star list, sleep in various second and third line stars and models. Make a big movie and make more money. Buy Da Ben, live in a villa, and from then to the peak of life...
Think of the United States. The real situation is that because you don't have the basics of photography, a studio with a bit of interest will not want you. If you can go to work, first the salary is very low, secondly you may not reach the camera at all, and then what do you think the photographer will teach you? There is, most of the domestic studios ... ... no level.
So why didn't you first learn photography? Self-study can be, for example, taking photographic notes, listening to lectures, or buying a book from Mr. Benning.
In fact, it's better to listen to the free open class of photography notes.
11. Content is always more important than skills and equipment
The photographic note repeatedly emphasizes one thing, that is, if you want to take a good picture, you must arrive and discover the scenes and moments worthy of your shooting.
Every day, I see many, many people holding photos I don’t know in which cell to let me comment. Or just pat your own street park near you.
Really, when I wrote this paragraph, I had a worry that I would not be said to say: What cows do you think we don’t want to shoot well?
But there are still words to be said, otherwise the novice will never understand. If you let me comment on a photo, I will say from 5 aspects, first of all, it is worth noting that the scene and instant of this photo are worthwhile. Then it will be analyzed from the perspective of view, exposure, reality, and composition. So if it is really too casual to take, it is not worthy of a specific analysis from the following four aspects. You take a photo, I may have to spend more time looking for a problem than shooting.
So remember that shooting techniques and equipment are far less important than what you are shooting. It is the most important thing for photography to arrive and discover the scenes and moments worth shooting.
It is important to find out what moments you arrive.
12. Is it better to pursue photography than to pursue photography?
Many newcomers blindly pursue the so-called photographic mood, the so-called personal style. The pursuit is good, but it cannot be blind. If even the most basic photography techniques are not available, this pursuit can only be a deterrent to your photography. In my opinion, photography is a means of expressing one's intentions. The higher your technology is, the more you can express it, and the more profound your artistic conception will be. There is no good basis for photography.
Let's take a picture and talk about the mood.
