I basically agree with the above views, but regarding the statement "professional post-production is always the most beautiful," I can only agree halfway. My view is: respect originality. You must master every setting on your camera, understand the relationship between the manual and other professional books, and upon entering a photography site, quickly set the camera's light conditions within seconds, frame the most dynamic perspective, highlight the best lighting effects, simply and effectively express the theme of the image, and effectively convey your own photographic concepts and ideas... Photos taken this way don't require showing off so-called advanced PS skills, which might even be superfluous. In fact, post-production can clearly reflect a photographer's cultural literacy and psychological activities. Restless color rendering and inexplicable cropping will only turn your photos into rotten eggs thrown at your own face.
Let us all strive together, enjoy photography, and cleverly yet earnestly create our own light and shadow works! Related article: Having a different photographic perspective gives you a different view of photography.
