Suzhou was a city full of photography charm. In terms of natural landscape, Suzhou's water area accounted for 42%. There were many lakes here, with more than 320 lakes, such as Jinji Lake, Dushu Lake, Kuncheng Lake, Cheng Lake, Yangcheng Lake, etc. Among them, the area of Yangcheng Lake was 19 times that of West Lake in Hangzhou. Taihu Lake was 20 times larger than Yangcheng Lake and 70% of Taihu Lake belonged to Suzhou. The numerous water bodies provided rich waterscape material for photography. In terms of garden architecture, Suzhou had two of the four famous gardens in Jiangnan. The scenery in the garden was exquisite and small, and the space was cramped but full of charm. In garden photography, you can focus on finding leaves, characters, lines, building outlines, light and shadow, and the unique elements in the garden as the main body of the picture. In order to avoid taking too many elements, you can use 2x, 3x, or 5x zooming. You can also use group pictures to better express the complete picture or story. Moreover, shooting in the garden on a rainy day could create a quiet and quaint atmosphere. The appropriate dimming and adding cool colors in the later stage could better express this atmosphere. From a cultural point of view, Suzhou had a unique cultural heritage. For example, the four great scholars of Jiangnan all came from Suzhou. The traditional clothing culture here, such as cheongsam and Han clothing, complemented the garden architecture and had a unique charm when taking ancient photos. In terms of photography talents and achievements, the Suzhou City Photographers Association had been actively working. Through organizing photography workshops, training camps, and training classes for young and middle-aged photography talents, it had built a film exhibition platform and improved training measures, greatly stimulating the creative vitality of the Suzhou photography team. In the "Jiangsu Province Literature and Art Awards·Fourth Annual Photographic Awards," Suzhou had five photographers on the list, ranking first in the province. These award-winning works were rich and varied, reflecting the author's exploration and pursuit. In addition, there were many photo studios in Suzhou that could provide photo shooting services for tourists.

For newcomers to participate in photography competitions, they could consider the following aspects: ** 1. Evaluation of Competing Ability ** 1. ** Shooting Techniques ** - The photography competition mainly assessed the ability to shoot. Newbies needed to have certain shooting skills, such as mastering exposure knowledge. The strength of the light would greatly affect the performance of the photo. You couldn't just rely on the automatic exposure of the phone. You had to learn to use the exposure adjustment function on the screen. Otherwise, there might be problems such as a big black face, a big hole in the sun, or a flower color overflow. - The composition ability was also very important. You couldn't shoot immediately when you saw the beautiful scenery. You had to think about whether there was a better angle and better scenery. For example, when shooting rainbows, the addition of landscape would make the photo more unique, instead of just shooting at the sky. 2. ** Shooting Style ** - Newbies had to evaluate whether they had formed a unique shooting style. Knowing what type of photography you are good at, such as people, landscape, or animal photography, will help you determine whether you meet the requirements when choosing a competition. ** 2. Competition Requirements ** 1. ** Themed Requirement ** - Different competitions had different selection criteria and theme requirements. Some competitions had specific topics, while others had subcategories. For example, the iPhone Photography awards did not have a theme each year, but gave more than ten subcategories such as animals, children, landscapes, and people. The Mobile Photography awards had 18 categories, including architecture, landscape, silhouette, street photography, and so on. If the theme of the competition did not match his shooting style or content, it might affect his confidence and preparation for the competition. - He also had to pay attention to whether there was a limit on the number of works. 2. ** Nature of the work ** - For example, in news and documentary photography competitions, the post-production standard was that the objective reality could not be changed. For example, adding clouds and copying horses were not allowed. However, general photography competitions allowed different levels of post-production. For example, mobile Photography awards allowed the use of mobile applications for post-production editing. It was also allowed to add elements such as mosaic, mobile painting, digital art, and so on. ** 3. Purpose of Competition ** 1. ** Challenge yourself ** - For beginners, participating in photography competitions was a way to challenge themselves. They could encourage themselves to try new photography techniques, styles, and subjects, thereby improving their photography skills. 2. ** Communication and learning ** - The participants could learn about the works and styles of other photographers and gain experience in the field of photography. Through observing outstanding works, one could learn other people's composition, lighting, post-processing techniques, and so on. 3. ** Promotion of himself and his works ** - If one wanted to gain more attention in the field of photography, participating in competitions was one way, but newcomers might need to gradually accumulate experience and the quality of their work. ** 4. Competition Selection and Identification ** 1. ** The value of the competition ** - ** Charging and free **: Charging photography competitions may not be good competitions, but they may be more valuable. For example, the iPhone photography competition charged 5.50 dollars per photo. The more photos submitted, the higher the fee. The judges were of a higher level, the competition process was formal, the awards were highly recognized, and the prizes were relatively generous. However, there were also unscrupulous commercial competitions that used the name of charging fees to engage in "black box operations" and spend money to buy "certificates." Free competitions were not necessarily without value. For example, the WPG (World Press Photographer Competition) was the most influential in the international press photography industry. It was open to photographers in the field of news photography and documentary photography for free. - [Competition Level: Generally speaking, international competitions are more important than national competitions.] However, local competitions had fewer participants and were less competitive, so it might be easier to get a ranking. 2. ** Regular Judgment ** - Whether the competition was official or not could be judged by the popularity of the competition, the number of years it had been held, the qualifications of the organizers, and the judges. It was best to participate in some new and unknown "wild competitions" with caution. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
