Zaozhuang amateur photographyZaozhuang was rich in photography resources and activities. On the one hand, the natural scenery of Zaozhuang, such as Yanma Reservoir, Lianqing Mountain Scenic Area, Red River Marsh, etc., as well as the cultural landscape, such as Taierzhuang Ancient City, Qingtan Temple, Jiagu Mountain Scenic Area, etc., provided many shooting materials for amateur photographers. For example, in the ancient city of Taierzhuang, its unique night scene attracted the photographer's lens; in the Shuanglong Lake Bird Watching Garden, one could feel the superiority of neighboring water resources and experience the harmonious co-existence of man and nature; the remnant lotus in the Taierzhuang Canal National Marsh Park was also a unique object of photography.
On the other hand, Zaozhuang often held photography related activities. For example, the Municipal University for the Elderly organized photography students to carry out photography activities in Jizhuang Village, Shuiquan Town, Shanting District to help the rural rejuvenation; there was also the in-depth photography workshop with the theme of "Searching for the Grand Canal" to enter Zaozhuang to carry out creative practice activities, etc. These activities provided opportunities for amateur photographers to communicate, learn, and create. In addition, there were also photographers like Wu Jingli who used Zaozhuang as their theme to reflect the daily life of the city as well as their own inner struggles and conflicts. His works included "Village Inside and Outside the Village,""China Online Life," and "Dog Disciple." In short, Zaozhuang provided a vast world for amateur photography.

Beginner photography competitionFor 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.
