My journey to photography

Posted in Photography, Rant at 1:37 pm by bernutz

When I first thought of taking up photography as a hobby, I only have one thing in mind. And that is to learn how to take a good photo. It is THAT simple. However as some people found out that I am going to use a compact digital camera to learn photography, I got mixed reaction.

The thing that pisses me off is when some chuckle at the camera I’m using, some said “Huh? Are you going to use that?” and some hinted that I should have bought a DSLR if I wanted to take good photos. The F word is just at the tip of my tongue when I hear this. Who says only a DSLR can take good photos? I am not talking about those professionally taken photos okay. The more I think about it the more I am determined to continue using my compact digital camera to take good photos!

Currently I am reading up on photography and practicing on my own. Once I have made some improvements, I will be joining a few friends for some photo taking outings and I will post them here again.

    I completely agree with you! We don’t need the newest Nikon whatever camere to take the best photos… It’s better to use your eyes and your brain than your bank account!
    Keep goin’ :-)
