Photography is easy to shoot, easy to spend lots of money, difficult to excel.

I m only an amateur that shoot occasionally now. Went through the film era with a few cameras. And still lots to learn.

What i find is so long camera and lens is decent its ok.
Not necessary to have the best gear unless you are seriously shooting a lot.
Shooting in RAW is not necessary for amateur.
Canon 18-55mm kit lens is not very ok.
Storage and back up is important. I don't have RAID so i store two copies in two HD.

You can spend lots of money and find little to shoot.

Composition and the "eye" is crucial. Managing exposure and lighting is essential.

Looking at some pros pictures I wonder, how they get that?

Reading helps, but mags are not cheap.

Time, need lots of time.

Pretty girls, need lots of pretty girls.

I think you refer to D60 and 20D.
I'm a Canon user too for many years since EOS 5 (film).
20D is also one of my cam too and its a great camera to shoot with.

cheers

"Make our photos talk back"

Thought there are a couple of avid shutter bugs here so thought of starting a thread to discuss about Camera equipments, photography tips etc...

Tried to look for it cos I thought there was an earlier thread but could not find it when I use the search... so...

I am considering the following lenses...
FROM CS
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM (Yen57,000/US$385) RS$889 - CP$710/ TK$780 / AP$730
EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM (Yen82,000/US$470) RS$899 - OP$740(Local warranty) / MS$730 / CP-M$720 / CP-P $750 / TCW$780 grey
EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro (Yen42,000/US$240) RS$680 - AP$590

Anybody have any feedback on these?

Apologize for bro.I've to confess I'm zero into Photography as compare to many pro. here.
Most of those shots I took gone thru some editing on photoshop . But as a self taught ,I was very fond in art since very young . I might as well use tis approach toward those I wish to snaps wif some imagination ..thxs to digital age.
First, I would love to share & hightlight the important on each every photo shoot I had extempt ,especially is on our beloved watches here. It all about how composite ur shot can help us here ' Just imagine & how we study the beauty of our lovely wife look at certain angle...there goes the same to the object we wanted to snap lah"Few example here on my way how I view on tis object.
Last but not least,alway remember that each every shot must delivered a message in someway.Thx for looking bros & sisto.Cheers

wah!!! i think for watches..to be able to achieve or control reflection is the most impt..and John u obviously has some pretty decent control over there....

i am thinking of buying a light tent for some fun shoot since is not too expensive

Not all Refrection will screwed up our shot bro" Sometime is good to allow some light source refrection to bring out difference material made & mood.Yet the outcome was'nt seen to be that bad bro" I can proof to u here SEE..>>


Do u agree now??

[jazz_samz]

Wow johnfish!! Ur photos are definitely delightful!!! Looking at yr photos, u definitely grasp the art well!! You are an artistic character. Ü
Self taught?? Aiyah all of us surely are the same. It all begins with yr first cam, RTFM and learning through play. Ü
