Camera Equipment can be pricey, especially if you are starting
off in the photography business and trying to seriously get on your feet
as a career. It's important to make sure you buy the right equipment.
Be careful though, you can end up spending too much money on equipment
that is no good for you and waste hundreds or thousands of dollars for
no big difference in quality.
There is such a thing as being
between good and bad. The important thing to remember is that blaming
the equipment for bad photography can sometimes hold you back from
advancing for a long time. There could be a countless amount of reasons
why a shot turned out bad. It could be lighting, positioning of the
camera or a setting on the equipment was off. A number of reasons why it
could go wrong. It could be the equipment and if so hold off on buying
new equipment until you figure out the reason why your camera is wrong
for you. You must learn the difference between bad equipment and a bad
photograph.
The best thing to do starting off in the industry is
to make the best of what you have. Having a bad camera and learning to
adapt to it and become the best you can be with it will really push your
advancements in the future when you finally upgrade to new hardware. Be
the best you can be.
Here are some tips on how to make the best quality photo with a good or bad camera.
You
can get a better picture by getting close to your subject. Getting up
close gives you a better focus, and blocks out background distractions.
Small details such as the unique colors in your subject's eyes, or a
cute dimple are lost when you are too far away from the person.
Be
careful when packing cameras. The correct way to pack is to make sure
to bring along enough lenses, spare batteries, and accessories you need
to clean your camera. You should only take what you will use.
Move
around your subject from different angles finding different positions.
Take the picture of the object from above, below or in a weird angle.
Right before you take the shot do not move and hold your breath. By
doing so you're decreasing the chance of a blur and ruining the shot.
When you are taking a picture try to be creative by putting an object
near something it usually would never be around, giving the object a
different size and background will make it unique and stand out.
Above
all, photography is an art meant to be enjoyed. Taking photographs
should allow you to capture the memory event in your life. If you are
enjoying this world, it is much more likely that you will love it and
master the skills and become a master in photography.
