The group's aerial photography with the UAV was from Song Guzhen. Last year, Song Guzhen registered and established the Shenzhen UAV Aerial Photography Association, and now has 1,229 registered members.
"The most beautiful Shenzhen"
Appreciation of works
"I realized the hard work of the secretary today! I printed so many membership cards, dazzled, sore neck. Go out for a while!" This is the Shenzhen City UAV Aerial Photography Association President Song Guzhen personally printed the membership card for the members of the association. After that, I sighed in the WeChat circle of friends.
Little known is that ten years ago, he knew nothing about photography. At that time, he would not know that one day, the drone approached his life and occupied an important place.
Photography

With a passion, Song Guzhen started his own photography career with a card machine in his hand. "In 2008, our domestic sports atmosphere was very strong. It can be said that the whole people welcomed the Olympics! The scene of Shenzhen people actively participating in sports deeply touched me, so I was very eager to find a camera to record these scenes." Song Guzhen This recalls.
"Recognition photography requires a large number of humanistic literacy accumulations as a basis. Unfortunately, during the period of photography creation, I did not insist on the creation of documentary photography. My photography creations focused on scenery and portraits." At the original intention of photography, Song Guzhen was slightly embarrassed. "But recently I will restart the documentary photography class I first contacted. The drone aerial photography will give me a new inspiration."
"In my eyes, scenery and portrait photography are in fact very common. These two types of photography can actually inspire each other." Through the creation of two categories of scenery and portraits, Song Guzhen's photography in composition, light and shadow shaping, etc. The basics laid a solid foundation.
With the gradual deepening of the exploration of photography technology and the love of photography, photography has become an important part of Song Guzhen’s life.
Song Guzhen likes to travel with his family. After studying photography, photography has also added a lot of fun to his family. From time to time, he will use his knowledge of photography to make a special "visitor photo" for his family.
When asked about his favorite photographer, Song Guzhen, he did not hesitate to say that the famous American landscape photographer - Ansel Adams.
"The most touching thing for me is Adams's Yosemite Valley. I have personally went to Yosemite National Park for this piece of work." In the early days of studying scenery, in order to polish his own scenery, Song Guzhen even I also thought about going to "Linyi" Adams's work. Soon after he gave up, he realized that Adams had a place in the history of photography, in addition to superb photography, and because Adams had his own unique understanding of the scenery. Adams is shooting the lake and the mountains, but also taking his own inner feelings.
From Adams, Song Guzhen got an inspiration: ask yourself more before pressing the shutter, why not shoot.
Meet aerial photography

A few years ago, drones have not been as popular as they are today.
In the hummingbird online Song Guzhen saw a propaganda slogan of the Dajiang UAV aerial camera - "the camera that can fly." At the same time, many of the photographers he has met in the Hummingbird Network have begun to play this novelty.
At that time, the DJI drone was not as mature as it is today. "This is simply a toy! The quality of the picture is not comparable to the SLR camera. How can it be used for creation?" In the beginning, many traditional photographers Similarly, from the perspective of creative equipment, Song Guzhen does not recognize drones.
In 2015, the Dajiang Elf Phantom 3 series drone aerial camera was released in New York, USA. Song Guzhen happened to be traveling to the United States. Because of his curiosity about new things, he bought his first drone aerial vehicle Phantom 3 Professional in the United States. The story between Song Guzhen and aerial photography kicked off. .
"I also brought two cameras as the main shooting tools. The Dajiang Elf Phantom 3 Professional was only used to satisfy my curiosity about aerial photography, but I didn't expect it to be the most amazing work of the drone. The picture quality of Phantom 3 Professional has made great progress compared to previous generations.
The angle advantage of aerial photography makes Song Guzhen more comfortable in shooting large scenes such as Monument Valley and Niagara Falls. Unconsciously, Song Guzhen was conquered by this flying "elf". So when he returned to Shenzhen, he began to study the new field of photography of drone aerial photography.
Although Song Guzhen is not a full-time photographer, he has a wide range of friends.
A few years ago, he received an invitation from the headquarters of the Hummingbird Network in Beijing. As the stationmaster of the Hummingbird Network Shenzhen Station, he organized the hummingbird network photography enthusiast users in Shenzhen to participate in the photography activities. Song Guzhen was exposed to a large number of different industries but he was the same. A passionate photographer.
For a while, housing prices in Shenzhen have risen very quickly. Many friends who are familiar with Song Guzhen can't bear the pressure of life brought by Shenzhen's high prices, and they have returned to their hometowns. "I feel quite sorry. I made up my mind to apply the drone to the city scenery shooting, and show the more beautiful side to the friends who are working hard in Shenzhen. Let them fall in love with Shenzhen and not leave Shenzhen." This is Song Guzhen. The original intention of creating "The Most Beautiful Shenzhen".
In Song Guzhen’s eyes, taking Shenzhen is the happiest thing in his photography career. "Our gang of enthusiasts have been thinking about how to use all kinds of methods to shoot Shenzhen. This is the source of our passion for photography over the years.
Song Guzhen said that the creation of "The Most Beautiful Shenzhen" has an unseen hardship. "I waited for three days at the seaside in Tai O Bay, Nan'ao, Shenzhen, and finally waited for two boats with ideal sports forms." He introduced me to " This is what I said during the creative process of The Heart of the Sea.
"I will get up before sunrise, every day, photography depends on hard work and perseverance." Photography has brought a lot of changes to his habits. It takes a lot of time to shoot in the same place, and there will be completely different colors and light effects.
"Xiaguang Jincheng" is a work that consumes a lot of effort from Song Guzhen. "I go to work on the roof of a nearby friend's house every day after work." Day after day, Song Guzhen finally exchanged his perfect light and shadow.
Song Guzhen’s "Xiaguang Jincheng" won many awards, but Song Guzhen was gratified not only for this: "As long as I can let more people see Shenzhen with different perspectives, bring them beauty, I feel sincere." Happy."
Alone Better Together
"Photography enthusiasts" - On the personal photo blog homepage, Song Guzhen wrote his own signature. Although he has won numerous awards for photography, the major mainstream media have also praised him, and Song Guzhen has always maintained a humility.
The so-called stone of other mountains can be used to attack jade. He believes that communicating with different people makes him learn from others. Song Guzheng will be inspired by the sharing sessions and lectures of other excellent photographers. On the contrary, Song Guzhen will also help younger generations of photographers grow free of charge.
"Single learning without friends, it is ignorant." Song Guzhen has been deeply convinced of this truth. He has not only served as a webmaster for a long time in the photography forum, but also responsible for organizing the local filmmakers in Shenzhen to study together.
In the past year, Song Guzhen also registered the Shenzhen UAV Aerial Photography Association. "As a Shenzhen person, I have the responsibility to promote Shenzhen." In Song Guzhen's view, the drone aerial camera is a good tool for taking advantage of Shenzhen's urban scenery. In the future, more and more photographers will be in contact with aerial photography, so he considers himself It is obliged to unite and organize photography enthusiasts in Shenzhen, and use the drone to shoot Shenzhen.
"My biggest wish is to hold a large-scale drone photography exhibition to let more people know about aerial photography and appreciate the beauty of Shenzhen's more angles." When talking about the recent planning of the association, Song Guzhen is full of embarrassment.
"Our association will also actively respond to the appeals of the state management departments and drone manufacturers, and cooperate with them to do the normative operation and publicize the law-abiding flight." At present, the scale of the Shenzhen UAV aerial photography association has thousands of people, in addition to unity. In addition to photographers in Shenzhen, organizing creation and training, Song Guzhen also gave the association more missions.
"For any member who violates the rules of flight and endangers public safety, we are expelled from the association with zero tolerance and notified the criticism." Song Guzhen believes that only everyone can consciously abide by the flight laws and regulations, in order to create a society for the society. Relatively free and safe aerial creation environment.
"After photography has reached a certain level, the key to success is to look at our personality and thoughts." This is the conclusion of Song Guzhen based on the experience of some artists.
"I didn't intend to use the "play ticket" mentality to engage in photography. I always wanted to use photography to do something for the society." Excellent artists should have their own responsibilities, and use photography to promote social development is of excellent quality. The photographer's self-consciousness, while promoting social development, the quality of photographers is also being honed.
