FIRST STEPS OF THE BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHER

My WEBSITE

 So, you have decided that you will deal with photography. You've seen some stunning footage and want to make the same or similar to this one? Well, unless you're a genius , and I hope you are , there are several crucial issues that need to be answered . As follows: 

| 1 | At first, no doubt , am I willing to do photography , or more precisely , do you feel you thrill when I think about to photograph ? Sounds a bit romantic, but it's a simple truth ! Whether you are ready to do anything to shoot ( as I climbed Musala peek , not that I like to go to -15 degrees loaded like a mule , just photography pulls me forward)! And I was near the biggest waves I've ever seen - click . The thrill and the passion lead you , regardless any difficulties or weather reports! In short , if you do not shiver , do not waste your money! More clearly I can not speak, or at least do not know how :/

 | 2 | We have decided that we tremble . You should answer some questions about why you want to start doing photography? What do I mean ? Well if you do it simply for leisure , whether to shoot the children (sounds nice hah?:))) , or if you want to develop to the point of making a living out of photography , etc. You must be honest and clear with yourself. If not, then the process in your development as a photographer would be long and difficult ...

 | 3 | WHAT genre in photography do you like and you want want to develop in? Photography , like any other art, is not a monolithic structure , you have to target some of its branches / genres. You need to decide whether you want to get involved in landscape photography , wedding or product photography , street / reportage photography , exterior or interior photography. I'm not saying that you should choose only one genre, but the smaller the number, the better you will become with time , not to mention the material part of the equation .

 | 4 | Am I ready to spend money for equipment ? This is inevitable and is directly related to the previous question . Depending on the genre / genres that you have chosen (or better that attract you , a little romance ) , technology and equipment are quite different. Of course, you have body and which are going to be there always. Almost every genre has its specifics on the camera body , what kind of lens to use , what kind filters you to use , is it necessary additional lighting ? Because every wrong move and the choice will cost you money that could save yourself, if you enter untrained in digital photography.

 | 5 | We're aware of the genre. WHICH BODY (read DSLR) to choose? WHICH LENS? These are the two most important components that need to pay attention ! If you make the wrong decision , along with the genre you have chosen , you will be quite disappointed with the results and may even give up ! It is also very important as the body or the lens. One has to drive Ford , quite another is to drive a Mercedes , both cars are giving you a ride , but how? This does not mean that if you get top notch body and lens will capture perfect shots ! NOT MANDATORY ! I've seen "professionals " with a equipment for thousands of dollars / euros to make landscape photos with the built-in flash ! ! ! Here I will try to force you to avoid this!

 | 6 | YOU WILL FIND FREE TIME ? Detail that many people underestimate the time and after sitting unused equipment and have quarrels with the head of the family! ( your wife / your husband's or your mother in law, or the dog ) :) Basically these are the main issues that need to clarify with yourself (your wife / your husband's or your mother in law, or the dog) . If you are aware of them , which is commendable , you are ready to learn, and this is veeery long and difficult process during which quite often you will come to throw away your equipment and walk around the mall (your wife / your husband's or your mother in law, or the dog) . Relax, if you have done everything correctly, the results will come for sure and you will become better in doing photography!

INTRODUCTION FOR THE BEGINNER PHOTOGRAPHER

See my WEBSITE

The reason why I start this blog is driven by my desire to help to the beginners photographers not to wander blindly in the vast and all-consuming business called digital photography. I write all this with the caveat that my opinion is not omniscient and only . I refract everything through my own experience in photography and my experience from many articles and books that I've read about it. The idea here is the following , by any chance , a beginner photographer came across this page with the desire to engage in photography, be it amateur or professional level. What I personally would like this novice photographer to realize and choose a prefer genre in photography , technique and equipment needed , the necessary basic knowledge chosen by him / her! For all collected in the head of a successful photographer in the beginning can (and from my experience that is) can be extremely confusing and in many cases, you may withdraw from the venture ! I will give a personal example , I bought a Panasonic FZ8, in my view a machine in the  top level in the digital photography (! ! ! ) . From hindsight, I just wonder how I ever shot with him, but then I was damn proud of acquisition and thought I was a great thing. After a while, it replaced my Canon EOS 1000 which I bought completely by accident, as I had gone to buy Olympus, which I'm sure I'd have the same success as with Panasonic ... When the seller packed the  Olympus, I said at the last moment I want Canon, I do not know what made me take this decision , but I am so thankful for it, because it changed my perception and understanding of digital photography !
So, the idea is when you have a strong desire to start doing photography , is to avoid misunderstandings and above the formation of innumerable nerve ( on the contrary , the nerves are the only cells that do not resume ! ) , saving a significant number Phoenician characters because digital photography is anything but cheap hobby. If I can help at least to one beginner photographer , I will be satisfied with the progress , because I've been down this road, unfortunately (or rather my joy ) self-taught and wasting a lot of energy and money to get here . And do not get me wrong , it's okay to spend money on machinery and equipment , etc. - even if it is required. The idea is to give them the appropriate technique that will point you in the right direction in photography .

I want to clarify that not all articles here will be my production , but when I quote an article I will pay due respect to the author with a link to the original article ( believe me, when I'm alone made my site , this is crucial !) . also do not claim that I invented the hot water ! Only bathe her :)
