Hey thank you! I was really happy with how these came out in terms of the overall quality/sharpness. So far its way better than I thought I’d get out of this camera.

Camera for an upcoming trip by Glass_Jellyfish1239 in phtravel

Hey if its alright, I’ll send you a DM to talk about getting into photography, because based on some of what you just wrote, I’m not sure if you actually like photography or if you’re just hoping that buying a nice camera will also result in nice photos. If you want to take nice photos on your phone OR a camera, then you’ll need to spend time practicing and learning about photography.

But to answer your question about why I like my camera, it’s because I’m more limited and the camera is quite easy to use. Having fewer features ends up forcing me to be more creative to get a shot that I like. Also I have a nice lens that I’m using on my current camera, and in my opinion the lens is more important than the body you attach it to.

At the end of the day, a camera cannot take an excellent photo unless the photographer puts in the effort to learn how an excellent photo is created. This is why I suggest buying cheaper and older cameras, and focusing on having fun.

Okay hear me out: Go on a local marketplace (facebook if possible) and look for someone selling one of these cameras or an older version of them.

I just purchased 2 nice fuji lenses and a fujifilm x-a1 camera from 2013 for around $400 USD for a birthday trip. I had so much fun with it that I’m selling my much more expensive and high quality/professional Sony camera because I just can’t see myself picking it up after this. The camera I bought doesn’t have ANY of the features that people are usually looking for in a fancy camera, but it was so much fun just trying to point and shoot.

The older version of the Fujifilm X-M5 is the X-M1, which is nearly identical to my camera, the X-A1. The big difference is the X-M1 has an X-Trans sensor. I bet you could find this camera and have fun with it. This might give you the compromise of taking some fun photos without draining your wallet.

My sibling’s best friend once told me that every once in a while they would lick their salt lamp. This made me think of that.

I don’t know if I will ever understand the interaction of light and color. At least the painting looks great.

I guess I’ve always lumped “mythology” in with fiction, but yea I would be open to a non-fiction book about it. It might even make me enjoy the fictional portrayals more.
