You could not resist, maybe you did not realize it, but you are already submerged up to your neck, you have already entered fully into the photographic world and it is too late to turn around. you are addicted And now, how are you going to stop, now that you feel so fascinated? But hey, when you start to go a little further the wallet shrinks in pain, we advise you good lenses but the right lenses are expensive, we recommend good cameras, but are they also expensive? Welcome to the real world. Photography is an expensive hobby, make no mistake, it’s not like picking mushrooms or playing ping pong, but like any hobby, you can go up to infinity or get smart to get the same results without breaking the bank. can you do without or how can you replace and what not?
This is something you should NOT be overwhelmed with unless you have a 1MP camera from your father. We won’t tire of repeating that the camera case is not particularly important when it comes to taking good photos then, with a legacy photo, used or with some of the beginner recommendations we make on the blog, will you be more than served?Of course, if you want to immerse yourself head-on in the world of photography, my personal advice is to have interchangeable lenses, a viewfinder and, above all, manual controls.
- If you’re willing to disburse something.
- Make it a good goal.
- My personal recommendation is that you buy one that’s really good.
- Just one.
- And wake up with it.
- I’m just on my way to the king of glasses on my camera?that forces me to move.
- To go up and down.
- To approach.
- To leave?But what gives me incredible sharpness.
- Brightness and image quality?.
- Of course.
- It is not necessary.
- If you are fascinated by the landscape.
- You can get more from a wide angle.
- Or if you have been captivated by macro photography.
- From a macro lens.
- Either way.
- If you can.
- Invest.
- My personal advice is that if your budget is tight.
- Skip the kit zooms and invest that money in a good lens that meets your needs.
- If you have to wait a while until you save enough and even if it seems difficult.
- Do it?.
- If you feel like it and bought the kit with lens included.
- Do not worry.
- To start you have more than enough (and to continue as well).
If you have a bright lens you will need it several times, if you already have optics and are not particularly bright, investing in a flash can be a good option, there are very cheap ones (for less than 100 euros) and with good results, do not be afraid?
For ordinary people (this doesn’t include landscape lunatics, or macro photography), with a simple tripod we’ll kill each other. Just make sure it’s sturdy, stable and with a ball-shaped head to spin. If you still have little budget, do what we’ve all done: some books stacked here, a bookshelf, a table?If it’s your thing to set up a professional studio or you’re crazy about sharpness then don’t even think about it, but if you want a photo here and there from time to time you can wake up with this to have at home.
If you know how to look, you can find good material at a good price, photography is a whimsical vice and, we will not be wrong, we usually spend our lives dreaming about the next camera model, no matter how much we do it. I repeat, it’s the least important thing. Basically, we think, well, it won’t be that important, but will something be?
And because the whim is widespread, many people sell good material (prudent and / or little used) in the hope of being able to buy a superior model, not because the one they have is neither good nor enough. Your duty as a photographer who doesn’t want to be ruined in this hobby is to take a look at this world.
Value the physical stores where they will offer you a guarantee although at prices slightly higher than those of the network, but the best offers are usually found on used Internet portals, of course, if you are not sure, you better not do it. Risk?
There are few photo add-ons that, with a little imagination and time, you can’t create yourself on a ridiculous budget. If you don’t believe me, check out this full article for ordinary amateurs and mortals.
Have you had a look? Surprise the shed that you can assemble with cards, T-shirts, curtains, lights that you have at home, even professional lighting such as Beauty Dish lamps, light boxes to photograph products, etc. What do you like about macro photography? You can also enter this world (apparently expensive), at a low price.
Not everything is Photoshop, Lightroom or other classic editing (and paid) programs, if you don’t want to pay anything, you’ll also find zero-cost publishing programs with very good results. First of all, I’m sure, you know some, I’m wrong ??
Here’s an item with photo accessories for less than 100 euros, so you don’t despair and see that you can improve your world with a relatively small investment.
Practice, Search, read and practice again. You have information everywhere, in this blog, for example, we strive to do so, but there are also millions of forums and fans who comment, ask and respond selflessly everywhere, of course, that if you are lost among so much information and want everything to concentrate knowledge in a practical, orderly, reviewed and enjoyable way, can you always take a look at Mario’s course?
I don’t take pictures until I have a good camera, my photos are bad because my camera is bad, my photos aren’t very sharp because my optics suck, do I need it, do I need it ?, do you recognize yourself?We’ve all been through this phase before, we all sin the same way, and it takes a lot to break this vicious cycle in which consumerism, marketing, “incredible improvements. “From one model to another (in quotes, because if I’m honest, most improvements from one model to another, fans don’t even know how to spell them, let alone notice them in the image quality of the photo, or in use, unless they are really noticeable. ). two images with enough magnification to hang them on the wall, one 24 MP and the one next door with half the MP, I assure you that it will be difficult for us to see the difference if we see it?
Since when do you buy important things in life?Since when does talent depend on the material we have?I remember a French painter, Séraphine Louis, a very poor woman who was in the house cleaning but was passionate about painting. Invested in, but since I couldn’t afford the paintings I needed, collected flowers, plants, wax and even blood to make their paintings, I recommend you take a look to see what can be achieved with passion, perseverance and a zero budget. . It’s wonderful.
And if painting isn’t your thing, what about the great photographers of the nineteenth century, if you had one of their cameras in your hand, you wouldn’t even know where to start, with three buttons counted, no screen, no ability to repeat the image if it didn’t work and, again, what images, right?
I hope you found it useful and I encourage you to immerse yourself fully in the photographic world no matter what material you use, remember that all you need for your trip is passion and desire to learn, improve and enjoy. you liked it, share it on your favorite social network so others can enjoy it. Thank you and next time?
