1. Take your camera.
Carrying a camera with you can help you practice and learn how to keep doing it, because in the process, you may encounter some interesting themes or objects placed in a familiar way.
You can arrange the angle, and the photos you take look interesting, such as the favorite coffee shop or the relaxed pedestrians after work, which are all sources of material for practicing photography.
2. Make a shooting list, set goals for what you want to shoot and how to shoot, and work hard according to these goals.
Set a goal for yourself, list the photos you want to take as prototypes, and try to take them according to the layout. Such as lens, aperture and shutter speed. Or use filters, try to learn and try to follow these skills.
Learn from free learning resources. If you have time and opportunity, please attend the course training.
Photography is easy to use now. There are many self-paced videos to choose from, and you can learn from various sources, whether free or paid. If you have time, you can also take courses, which will be of great help to your study. Besides studying photography, there are many things to learn about the post-production process.
4. Try different camera settings and take photos to see the difference.
Try to adjust the settings yourself. For example, try adjusting the aperture. Adjust shutter speed, ISO, white balance, mode and view pictures. What kind of image is given to the image in each value and which mode is effective, you will know how much the maximum value of the picture can be adjusted. Which one is too much or too little?
Which picture parameter setting is better?
5. Learn the basic knowledge and rules of photography.
At the beginning, the basic knowledge and rules of photography are very important. Composition, color, light direction, angular position, visual perspective. Because it helps to determine the direction, and we don't have our own direction and style. Therefore, we must use and study the rules to understand, and then sometimes apply and go beyond the rules to find our own style and visual style.
6. Take pictures of things around you, people around you, and stories that happen in daily life.
Take photos of some common scenes regularly. Whether you like this photo or not, don't confine yourself to your favorite image. Try to jump out of your comfort zone, such as taking photos of people around you, adjusting the color of the picture or presenting it in different ways, using different colors or adjusting it to black and white, which will make the image look familiar and unfamiliar.
7. Don't be afraid to try taking pictures.
Don't be afraid to try or test your idea if you want to try to take a photo composition that is not standard or rule. If the picture does not appear as expected, it is also a way to learn and solve problems.
