Never think you can't take great pictures, or make great movies, because you don't have great equipment to use. Award winning photographs hang in galleries that were shot with a $15 camera in 2006 (link) This was explained to me by Ken Rockwell (my best source of camera reviews), who says in his article Your Camera Doesn't Matter: "It's an artist's eye, patience and skill that makes an image and not his tools." He quotes famous photographer Ansel Adams "The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it." The quality of photos and videos you can take with your phones are incredible now. Instagram shots can be breathtaking. In only 6 seconds a Vine video can be arresting. But the point is you can make do with even less! It's your creativity and imagination that makes an impact! Last thought from Mr. Rockwell again "The word "image comes from the word "imagination." It doesn't come from "lens sharpness" or "noise levels." Speaking of... watch this video for the first 60 seconds and you'll be amazed. |
