Hello, everyone. I'm Goal 5, a freelance photographer currently living in Dali, Yunnan. Knowing what it's worth to buy for so many years, has always been silently watching, thinking about a few years of change is really big, suddenly felt that writing something to share...
The initial interest in photography was from the university. At that time, he began to like traveling. In order to make good-looking photographs on the road, he could save and eat. He bought a Canon 500D and matched 18-55 sets with most beginners. 50 1.8 small lens. Although I did not understand anything at the time, it was a period of time with the greatest enthusiasm for photography. Read the forum every day to read the tutorial to read books, go out to play on the camera does not leave the body, to participate in the school photography agency, often followed by outdoor activities together, now think about really playing photography for some time happiest ah ...
The third year of college suddenly felt that college monotonous life was very boring, repeating the day of classes to eat games and drinking, and then graduating honestly to find a job and continue to repeat. The life that can be seen at a glance is scary, so decided to withstand the home and many pressures to withdraw from school and start to wander through China.
Most of the roads were built on the basis of a ride. Like all this feeling of uncertainty, they also met many locals or large truck drivers and learned many things that they had never thought of before.
After walking through the Tibet-Tibet line of Tibet and Tibet, I saw many people riding bicycles, and I also wanted to try it. After spending all his savings at the time, he bought the Duke of Merida 650 and started riding. Then he lived on a daily tire repair.
After buying a bike and riding, there is almost no money for him. Survival has become a big problem. At that time, it was hard to think about how to make money to feed yourself and continue to go on. Attempts to work out stalls and sell outdoor scarves on the net, but they did not fly. Later, I finally thought that because I had always liked photography, I tried to make some postcards I took on the road to make postcards and sell stalls. I was surprised by many people's reluctance to earn money. This is the first time that photography has earned money and other people's approval. From then on, it has become more reluctant to go on this road...
I knew a lot of people playing music on the road. I didn't feel like I was playing music and I was embarrassed to walk down the road. So I bought a Cort Earth 70 Mini guitar and walked along the road to learn...
The other sporadic few pictures that are handy to find...
The more we walked on the road, the more we felt that it was too cumbersome and too cumbersome to bring a single SLR. At that time, the micro-single of Sony Dafa began to exert force. At that time, when I saw it, I felt it was not for me. ! So from then on, he sold the SLR and bought the nex 5 into the arms of Sony Dafa...
At the time, I used it to shoot some photos on the road. Many of them still feel quite like it...
In this way, it took almost two years to finally finish China basically, plus a country like Nepal. Then suddenly one day I felt tired and thought I should find a place to stop. After several thoughts of Dali, he also liked this place. Finally he settled down in Dali.
Once stopped, the selling photos of the stalls that have always depended on making money to survive suddenly felt boring. At that time, they also thought that taking photographs had been taken for quite a long time. They should also decide on the way out. After a few seconds of hard thinking, they silently decided to start shooting portraits. After all, compared to the beautiful scenes and mountains, of course, it was a good portrait photography that could be played with her sister every day...
After deciding to be a portrait photographer, the original equipment became a problem. After all, he took a short remnant and a small cookie to collect money to take pictures of the guests. There is no image, and after a long period of filming and experience, the player was inspired or replaced with a micro shot hahahahahaha. Then he changed the Canon 6D + 24-105 f4 + 35 1.4 + 135 f2.
After I bought the machine, I began to shoot portraits. In the beginning I was looking for some friends to help me pat, and then I patted my friends on Twitter. I had been on the right track and I started to find someone. Take pictures.
Some of the films were shot... The middle of the movie took a long time to start dissatisfaction with the slenderness of the SLR. Every time I went out for a photo shoot, I had to carry a big bag. I was exhausted in the day. (Fortunately, I used to use natural light to take pictures without using a flash, otherwise I was even more tired. Dead...), tossing Canon out of the way and bought a Dafa a7ii
Then she bathed again in the glory of Dafa, and her image quality was more generous than 6d. She was also small and light, and she had four wheel controls to handle it. The only focus was on the middle of the 6d, especially in the dark. It was a little slower, but it was already satisfied. Even if you add Leica m7, which you later started playing with film, you only need to carry a shoulder bag instead of a shoulder bag as you did before. The longer you look, the more you know your needs. The sub-camera was only equipped with a Zeiss 55 f1.8 (later bought another 28 f2, but hardly used), which is now all the equipment.
Family portrait...
Originally wanted to write a mental journey plus experience, but when he wrote it, he found that it was a bit too long to write rough books and used equipment. If everyone is interested in it, I'll write two tutorials on the portraits and even private homes in the next step. So I'll have a sauce and have a chance to come to Dali to play with me.
