Photography Tips
Distinguish the landscape and portrait modes and shoot the desired effect We always think that there is little difference between taking pictures in landscape mode and portrait mode. What is the difference between them? In fact, the difference between them is mainly in the background. If you have sufficient light and long focal distance, you will find that the depth of field of the photo taken in portrait mode becomes shallow, the distant scene becomes blurred, and the people near the focus are very clear. Therefore, photographers with some photographic experience often use this feature to virtualize the background and separate the people from the chaotic background. The larger the aperture, the longer the focal length and the farther the person is from the background, the better the virtual effect will be; This is not the case with the scenic model, which is very clear both in the near and in the future. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for taking photos of tourist attractions with specific memorial significance and clear background.

What can you do with a reverse photo search

Picturing Joshua Tree National Park
The prickly trees reach toward the sky like praying hands into the heavens. The Mormons saw these trees, and it reminded them of Joshua. The branches of the trees point their way westward like Joshua in an appeal for a safe journey to the promised land. Yucca brevifolia has a small range limited to the boundaries of the Mojave Desert. The magnificent examples of hardiness can live for hundreds of years; some manage the extremes of the arid landscape for a thousand years.

Monsters at Borrego Springs
The Serpent and the Stars A warm wind blows across me, but I still feel a chill run down my back. I'm alone in the desert. I’m at one of the darkest places on earth according to my map. It's a little scary, especially while visions of coyotes, scorpions, and roving gangs of desert hares dance in my head. I'm here to photograph monsters. It isn't my imagination. I saw them as I drove in during the day. Standing as tall as two stories, I could make out their rust-colored silhouettes against the arid sand.

What is photography? What is photography?
It's about knowing what photography is, what photography is. Let me give you my humble opinion. More content, watch slowly. Divided into origin, essence, thought, light and shadow, these several parts. The following content is my understanding of photography. Solemnly disclaimer: THE following is just a personal idea, welcome kind exchange, refuse to be cruel. First, let's talk briefly about the origins of photography. Photography was invented in the 19th century and was originally an upper-class pleasure because it was technically difficult and expensive. Photography can be accepted by people may be it "painting" and myself, personal guess that this may be and when we were young painting, family praise our painting is good, really like the same meaning. At the time, it took about the same amount of time to take a photograph as it did to paint a portrait, so personal speculation was just a way for the elite to show their identity. The invention of photography also indirectly promoted the development of the art of painting. An important income for artists at that time was to paint portraits, and the invention of photography had a direct impact on the life of portrait painters, for there was nothing more "like" than photographs. Therefore, painters were forced to find another way to explore the possibilities of art. With the development of science and technology photography has become more and more popular, and ordinary people can also learn and master photography. Let's talk about the nature of photography. Literally speaking, the word "take" means "take". The word "take" means "take". Besides, the word "ying" means "shadow" and "impression". Put these two meanings together even if you take a shadow, leave an impression. This echoes one of the essence of photography, which is to record. After all, photography is ultimately presented through photographs, and the final effect is achieved through physical means, which determines that everything in photography is real. When we were kids, we all had one or two thick photo albums at home, which was a record of our lives. It's a record of what happened in the picture, and it's a record of time. Nowadays, although most people don't need to develop photos, they still have a lot of photos in their phones. What I want to say is that technology has changed the medium of photographic documentation, but not the nature of photographic documentation. Documentary photography is a rigorous record of what happens. Having said that the recording of one essence, the other essence is expression. The expression of photography is expressed through photographs, whether it is commercial photography, art photography, landscape photography and other photography categories are there is a certain expression in the inside, are containing information. Although commercial photography takes commercial interests as the starting point, the presentation of the final product also has the requirements of the Party A, the aesthetic of the photographer of the Party B, the shooting technology and many other factors. It may not show much in the photo, but it shows in the way the photo was taken. Of course, the final commercial film or to serve Party A, that is to say, what Party A wants will be presented in the film. Similarly, artistic photography expresses the artistic expression and artistic pursuit of photographers, and landscape photography expresses the scenery in the eyes of landscape photographers and the ideal landscape. To sum up, the essence of photography has been said. And that answers the question of what photography is. Now, the question of what photography is. There's a lot about what photography is. It could be a way of documenting your life, a means of making money, a medium of artistic expression, a hobby. Depends what you want to do with photography. The first paragraph also said that the thought and light is to tell my heart photography all out. First, ideas. As for photography thoughts, you can look at some masters' works and learn from them their thoughts on life, ideal, time and so on. Looking at the works of masters can learn their thoughts, deepen their own thinking, and be more than just an ordinary express door machine when shooting. Then you can shoot pictures that express your ideas and illustrate your thoughts. Thought is not overnight, to continue to learn, thinking. Finally form their own thoughts. Finally, the relationship between light and shadow in photography. In the process of learning photography, we often hear "photography is the art of light and shadow". This sentence shows the influence of light and shadow on photography. Combined with what has been mentioned above, the literal meaning of photography is to take shadows and leave an impression. But how to make a shadow, you need light. Just as there is light, there is shadow. The relationship between light and shadow in photography almost determines the quality of a photograph to a large extent. The large and waste films are not given face by light and shadow. So light is a very important thing. Except for documentary, which is more focused on content, but not without the right exposure. Therefore, in the process of learning photography, both professionals and hobbyists need the effect of light and shadow to make their photos reach the ideal state. Writing so much, in general, I put my own understanding of photography. I hope that was helpful.
