Presenter: Good afternoon. Today we have asked five people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about photography and taking photos. Now we would like to present their opinions to you.
Speaker A. A new photo exhibition starts at our school on Monday and will last till the end of the month. It's called 'Life on Campus', which means that any photos that show our school life are welcome. And I encourage my students to take part in it. I think it's a great opportunity for them to remember and share some funny and memorable moments of their school life. They are welcome to display portraits, classroom scenes, pictures from our off-campus trips and out of class activities and what not.
Speaker B. If you're not a professional photographer, I don't think you should go for an expensive camera. I know there are several brands you can buy cheap and they will take very good pictures. Don't look for lots of functions. For beginners, most of those features are not important. The main thing is, it should be easy to use, maybe have a nice design and be rather light to carry. I guess these things are important for a beginner photographer. Have a look and decide what is best for you.
Speaker C. Well, I'm not a professional photographer, but I love taking pictures. Actually, I don't like interior scenes, I prefer nature and especially the streets. Practicing street photography has helped me change my perspective. I think I've become more observant. I walk a lot and walk to places I have never been to. I can see beauty in many things I never noticed before. You can sense a story in everything you find out. This is what I like about it.
Speaker D. It's not easy to become a good photographer. The quickest way to get some basic knowledge is to take a short course for young photographers. This will give you a good idea of how to use your camera. What could be better than listening to photography experts? You'll learn more in an hour than from reading any special books. The next step will be to go out with a camera and take pictures, just as many pictures as possible. At least, that's the way I did it.
Speaker E. Moments happen all the time and they can happen fast. As I see it, photography freezes these moments so we can take the time to enjoy them. Being a photographer, I have the ability to show myself and share my ideas through images. When someone looks at one of my photos, they are able to see something exactly the way I saw it. Photography can convey ideas in a very artistic, visual and creative way. My way.
