Cameras & Photography

I’m often asked what camera to buy…to which I usually reply, I don’t know! I don’t walk around with a digital camera encyclopedia in my pocket.

Any decent camera will take good photos. You have to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the camera and work around/with them.

Here are some shots from my 1st digital camera, a Toshiba PDR-M5 2.1MP from 2000. Now that was a bad camera. The autofocus was terrible, the exposure equally as bad. Certainly by today’s standards the technical quality leaves a bit to be desired. But these are decent photos.

My point is it’s not the camera that makes the difference. It’s learning the principles of light. Photo = Light, Graph = Recording. Photography is the recording of light.

BTW I have a lot to learn yet.
