FIRST STEPS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF BODY AND LENS

FIRST STEPS AFTER THE  PURCHASE OF BODY AND LENS

My WEBSITE

Needless to say about the emotions and impatience with which the beginner photographer is escorted immediately after the acquisition of the coveted technique . I personally , since I bought my first set ( the starter lens I sold after 2 weeks , confirming what was said above ) I was at a dentist , and my new camera was with me in the cabinet. It was the most pleasant dental appointment I've ever had ( and we all know there is no such thing , it is not possible ! ! ) Because my thoughts were elsewhere , you  know where. But this positive emotion will inevitably be replaced by a negative one, even annoyance and aggression. The reason is very simple - you just bought equipment for a lot of money , which invites you to go out and shoot, share your masterpieces with the world, which should fall at the feet of your photographic genius ... yes, but no . I am confident because I have gone through that in most of the cases you will not know how to do even one shot without the automatic shooting mode that hate to the extreme and that should not ever use ! And ultimately you got involved with photography for not shooting in auto mode . If so , sell your equipment and buy a 3D TV or lawnmower.

To protect you from your first wonderful moments and emotions from the acquisition of equipment to be spoiled forever , there is one rule for me , which is mandatory and it is:

READ YOUR BOOK WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CAMERA AND LENSES ! ! !

This is really a mandatory first step ! There is no way for you  to know your technique and you won’t be satisfied with the first few hundred photos not because the device " does not work" , but because you do not know its functions ! Shame on you if you spent let’s say 2000 euro for example and did not bother to read the small book of 100 pages! The instruction book itself will not embed talent, if you expect it, you will not start to do amazing photos after reading it, because the incredible photos require knowledge of photography, which we'll talk / write below. But reading the book will introduce you to the technical characteristics of the technique, it becomes clear what shutter speed , aperture , ISO , white balance , file format types , types of shooting modes , etc. When you read the book and learn to say 30% of the terms in it , this is a wonderful home that will allow you to build on your skills and abilities. Hundreds of times I saw posts in photographic sites of beginner photographers with themes like "the camera is not performing well" or " how particular photo has been made? ". For others, including myself,it requires  a lot of reading , thousands of photos in the bucket and a little satisfaction, but this is only temporary until the best photos start to get into our heads and memory cards:)

In the next post I will explain in the most simple way what aperture , shutter speed and ISO , or as they say in photography,The Wholly Trinity . :)

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!
