Photography, as an artistic way to record life and express emotions, has attracted more and more people to devote themselves to it. However, many beginners are prone to develop some bad habits on the road of learning photography, which will not only affect the shooting effect, but also may hinder the further improvement of photography skills. Today, let's reveal the "fatal three mistakes" of novice photographers, and see if you have been tricked?
1. Ignore the basics and rush to achieve success.
Photography is not simply pressing the shutter, but an art that needs to be learned systematically. Many beginners are often in a hurry when they come into contact with photography, ignoring the basics. They may be obsessed with various filters and post-production techniques, but ignore the importance of basic concepts such as aperture, shutter, ISO, etc.
The authoritative photography textbook "Fundamentals of Photography" clearly points out: "Mastering the basic knowledge of photography is the key to improving photography skills." Therefore, if you want to shoot well, you must start with the basics and learn in depth step by step.
2. Blind imitation and lack of innovation.
In the process of learning photography, imitation is an effective learning method. However, many beginners fall into the mistake of blind imitation. They blindly copy other people's works, but ignore their own individuality and creativity.
The famous photographer Ansel Adams once said, "Photography is not only a record, but also an expression and innovation." "Therefore, when we learn photography, we should focus on cultivating our own innovative thinking and unique perspective, rather than blindly following trends.
3. Ignoring post-processing, the work lacks a sense of hierarchy.
Post-processing is an integral part of the photography process. Through post-processing, we can adjust the color, composition and light and shadow effects to make the work more layered and ornamental. However, many beginners overlook the importance of post-processing, resulting in a work that looks bland.
In the book "Post-Processing Techniques for Digital Photography", the author emphasized: "Post-processing is an important means to improve the quality of the work. "Therefore, after we have finished shooting, we should take some time to post-process to make the work more perfect.
In short, the road to learning photography is full of challenges and opportunities. As beginners, we should always be vigilant to avoid falling into the quagmire of bad habits. By systematically learning the basics, cultivating innovative thinking, and valuing post-processing, we will be able to go further and further on the road of photography.
