​There are five negative psychology new photographers often fall into

Learn photography, whether professional or amateur players, we are from the rookie stage gradually experience, canvas prints transformation, to come to the present position. As a novice photographer, I encountered many difficulties in learning and psychological challenges. Sometimes, I even felt frustrated and even lost the motivation to continue learning. If you are suffering from these five psychological problems, follow me to find out how to get rid of them.

"The pictures I took were so bad I didn't know what I was taking!"

Beginners are always not as skillful as their predecessors. No matter the composition, print canvas online the mastery of light, or the ability of post-production editing, it is inevitable that the works they shoot will be unsmooth. Although we know that learning is a cumulative process and we also know that we should pursue progress through continuous practice, when we reach a stage of hard work and still don't feel that we have made significant progress, we will start to doubt ourselves. In addition, after reading the works of many predecessors or peers, it is easy to generate self-abandonment.

Believe that a lot of friends have had such a low mood, large canvas then how did you come out? The author thinks, know oneself skill is inferior to the person is a good thing, but more important is to want "turn grief and anger into strength", bite one's teeth to insist on that long "quantity accumulates" period. Some foreign netizens put forward a very good method, if you really feel that what you shoot is not good, rather than their secret heart hurt, it is better to take the work to consult some experienced friends or predecessors, ask their views on the work, listen to their opinions, can be more targeted in the technical aspects to do to strengthen. If you don't want to be targeted, it's ok to talk to them about your problems, they may be able to give you some new inspiration or encouragement.

In addition, some go to the exhibition or attend photography workshop will also be a good choice, may be able to share experiences from others, found in the works "yeah? This guy and I had the same trouble", "not only I feel progress slowly", etc., which relate to their own ability to overly negative, or find a new inspiration. Otherwise, take a trip to the countryside and maybe change your mind.

"My shot is not professional or correct at all..."

Is photography absolutely professional and correct? When the question comes to mind, it seems to return to the discussion of what is good photography. Regardless of the verdict on the results, just thinking about the method of filming is enough to put off some newbies.

Take flexible application manual mode such, beginners may from time to time to hear some good say "buy monocular camera is to use manual mode, also took a lot of money to buy SLR in Auto mode, on the other hand, is a waste of words, so I think you should use manual mode to live up to the camera, is high on the right way, however, find themselves unable to rein in manual mode, the effect of low-quality, let a person lose hope.

"Is Auto mode shameful? Is it incorrect?" Of course not. Auto mode was originally designed for those who are not familiar with camera operation or photography techniques. For beginners, starting from Auto mode to learn photography is not a disgrace, and there is no such thing as right or wrong judgment. Introduction to you from Auto mode, can practice composition first, in a period of time, found that exposure to adjust some parameters to change the shooting effect, natural can from P mode, aperture priority, shutter priority mode began to fumble, when setting of exposure parameters have a certain familiarity, namely can try manual mode.

Then again, what's the right way to shoot? What kind of shooting effect is beautiful? In the process of learning photography, it is inevitable to encounter doubts, and each person may give you a different answer. Perhaps it's more important to find your own "standards" than to know what others' standards are. Why do you press the shutter? What is the atmosphere and effect you want to present? Based on what you want to express, think about whether there is any part of the shooting technique that can be enhanced. When you're past yourself, you can confidently tell others what you want to achieve when they ask, right?

"I will never be able to capture the professional feeling of a certain photographer..."

The learning of photography starts from "imitation". I believe that when you browse others' works, you will find your favorite photography style or effect and practice it with this goal. However, in the process of moving forward, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties or stimulation and the psychological frustration, that they will never reach the level of the goal. When you have such an idea, please do not forget to tell yourself, you worship the photographer, must be the same as you, from the rookie began a little bit of effort, only today's achievements. Who was born a professional photographer?

"My equipment is so bad, I can't shoot it well..."

If you do, there are two ways to get rid of the confusion. One is to go all the way up to the top and see if the results improve. The other is to hand your camera over to another experienced or professional photographer to see if he can get a good shot. With the rise of mobile phone photography, some photos with good effects can be taken even with mobile phone. Nevertheless, professional cameras still have certain advantages in terms of imaging level and shooting ability, but it is difficult to convince if the "fault" of poor works is completely attributed to the equipment.

"Post-production software is so expensive that I can't afford it..."

While some manufacturers offer tinkering software as a bonus when buying a single-eye camera, they may still rely on specialized programs like Photoshop or Lightroom when they need more advanced features or effects, but the price of licensed software can be a significant expense for beginners.

Fortunately, there are some free post-edit tools available online that you can get by without buying a legitimate copy of Adobe. Windows Photo Gallery in Windows system, iPhoto in Mac system, other software like Picasa, PicMonkey, and Gimp and so on are all optional software. In addition, some online editing tools, such as Pixlr and Photoshop Express Editor, are also good choices. They are fully functional and can save the space of installing software. So don't get frustrated with the fact that you can't afford to buy software.

Recently in the low tide novice friends, whether these points are bothering you? If there are other troubles, do not mind if you can also tell us, floating canvas frame let us find you continue to learn photography power! Those of you who have had these negative thoughts can also share how you overcame these psychological barriers and give new friends some advice or encouragement.
