With the continuous improvement of image quality requirements, many friends have bought SLR and mirrorless cameras . Of course, more friends have bought mirrorless cameras. The main reason is that mirrorless cameras are lightweight and portable, and mirrorless cameras are also the future development of digital cameras. mainstream.
So, after you buy a mirrorless camera that you like, the next step is to take more photos, because only by constantly using it and making the best use of it can the value of the equipment be brought out. If it is left to gather dust at home, it is a big waste.
There are so many things in life that are worthy of taking pictures, such as the growth of the baby, the daily life of the family, gatherings of friends and classmates, weekend outings or self-driving trips, etc., they are all worth taking pictures, even some daily scenery, the sky The rolling clouds, the rolling clouds, and the flowers and plants are also worth photographing.
However, with a mirrorless camera, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take good photos. Many netizens saw that some of the photos on Seyingwuji and hummingbird.com were very blockbuster-like, and when they looked at the shooting equipment, they actually used it with themselves. It's the same, but with the same equipment, why do different people produce so different results?
This is caused by the level of shooting. Just like the same paintbrush, in the hands of Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi, the things drawn in your hands are completely different for the same reason - it’s not that the pen is not good, It's you who can't.
The same is true for photography: they all use the same camera, and even the same lens, so why are the photos taken by the master completely different from his own? So there is a saying: Photography equipment is important, but what is more important is the head behind the digital camera viewfinder .
So, how to quickly improve your shooting skills? Some people will say: Everyone knows this, that is, shoot more and practice more. Practice is the best teacher. In fact, this idea is good, but it is not completely correct, because if there is no teacher to help you improve quickly, no matter how you practice, it will just be repeated on the existing basis. If you repeat primary school English 1,000 times in a row, you will still be at the level of primary school and will never reach the level of junior high school or high school. In other words, your level will not improve, but you will only become more proficient in the equipment.
If you want to improve, you need to study further, and you need to learn some advanced professional photography knowledge and skills more systematically. The best way to learn systematically is to learn from books, practice while studying, and combine theory with practice. Giving a summary.
So, there are so many books on photography now. What if you find one that can get twice the result with half the effort and improve the effect faster and more obviously? Below I will introduce to you three books, which are essential learning books for many professional photographers over the years.
