What is the best camera for you? For sure the camera you bring with you and take pictures with it!
It may be common sense to bring a camera with you and
to take pictures but it is not by far always true when you are observing all
the so-called photographers. Many love to play and pretend to be great photo
artist and like to flash with expensive pieces of equipment. That last
two or three-decade tendency had flourished around the world at a point that real
“day-to-day” photographers seems to be an animal in process of extinction with
the exception multi-phone snap shooters mostly self shooters.

Cameras are nice media expression tools and as a tool intended
to be used on the main purpose of taking pictures. And take pictures must have
some kind of purpose by itself (to look at them, to show them, to share them,
etc.) So it bring us back to a debate not on to select or use a camera but when
you will use it except for showing to the other fellows (camera shops, clubs,
schools are good for that!).

| No technically perfect but perfect expression! |
Learning to interact with your camera will help you a
lot to mastermind the medium and will become a second nature to do photography.
Take time to play with your tool, to try the functionalities and to discover
the full potential of it and there is a lot in it. Go see some “users” reviews
that are presenting interesting results obtained during photo sessions. Keep
your camera “on sigh” and it will be easy to fulfil most of your photo
temptations. Take pictures of your surrounding to find angles, moments,
compositions, or exposures that will reinvent the interpretation of your
day-to-day world.
Digital is cheap
Yes digital photography is very cheap even if you want
to get first class equipment. You just have to watch and wait for the best
opportunities to buy products (see my other article about this: http://photodanielm.blogspot.ca/2015/11/over-paying-for-novelties-or-sub-paying.html )
You can take all the pictures you want and keep them
first on your memory card. For editing your computer or tablet will work
perfectly. On a regular base you can duplicate your photo files to an external
hard disk for future references. But remember the real pictures that are
lasting are the one that are still shared and all the others are past and
forgotten memories.

| Museum are very special space to experiment |
Experiment yes but better Persist
You have to experiment to find your own way of photo
expression. It is true at first but you must also persist in your search to
explore and refine the interpretation of your subject. Get a fine shot at first
glance is lucky but it is very difficult to repeat this everyday and
everywhere. You must understand in your way how you can reproduce the process
of doing the pictures that are pleasing to you and your public. So take
pictures, take pictures and retake pictures, again and again.
Edit a presentation and share it

And don’t forget that you are a kind of unique person
that cannot please to everybody.

Photography is a medium among other forms of
expression. The great artistic representations are the one that the subject
transcends the medium. By seeing a picture you trigger a psychological process
that will initiate a minded personal quest. So you have to consider things or
subjects over the photograph by itself. It is asking a more fundamental task
regarding the purpose of doing photography or other forms of expression.
find your own way, explore, repeat, share...
and more
important have fun!
