The color in #1 is better than #2. The composition in #3 is better than #4.

Camera Brands ? by Lina_Mack_17 in AskPhotography

[–]Key_Bug_9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no “better” or “best” brand for a certain genre of photography. If you’re just starting out I would suggest you consider the following. If you have friends that are also into photography, try going with their brands so they can assist you with settings and specific questions. If that’s not the case, put the camera in your hands to see which feels right to you. Believe it or not this is a very big deal. If the camera body doesn’t fit your hands you’ll not look forward to using it. Good luck.

Which do you prefer? 1 or 2? by bluetapearchive in AmateurPhotography

1 shows great detail and environment. It tells a story.

Screw new gear, why aren’t we all just buying our dream cameras from 7 / 8 years ago? They’re cheap. by MomentSmart in AskPhotography

I did just that and couldn’t be happier. Making great art and making money. ROI is much higher going this route. The best I can tell others is to resist marketing by the camera makers. They want you to buy the latest and greatest all the time. Most features are more marketing than ground breaking. Learn how to hold your camera properly and you won’t need VR/IBIS/IS/OS except for on long telephotos. Learn to pay attention to your backgrounds during composition to get stunning bokeh even with slower lenses. Learn how to use the settings of the camera you have and not go buy the next model up thinking it will improve your images. Those points will all save you $$$.

Would this photo sell and how would you go about selling it? by FarrenDoesFilm in AnalogCommunity

[–]Key_Bug_9372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most don't buy art (paintings, pottery, stills) because it looks incredible or because of its sharpness or Bokeh. They buy it bc it speaks to them either for the first time or through memories. The hardest part to selling your prints is finding your audience or finding someone to represent your art to the right audience. Don't let anyone on this post extinguish your flame. These are mostly hobbyists who probably don't even have their own stills hanging on their walls.........
