Choosing the better Shit!

we all have cash issues , and some times no body is gonna lend a few $$$ for a starter [amateur] photographer ! yes !

welcome to the reality !

for this , you got to have year plans .

Okey, so where did I start ?

In my early days I started with a Nikon D5200 , got 24 MPs
and good quality in video recording :)
the lens was a 50 mm D and a Tamron 200 mm , but sold it later and got a 35mm 1.8 G Prime lens
a wide lens with a focus motor in build

remember the D5200 , it ain't got a focus motor built inside the camera
without a motor [so I wanted to master manual focusing on a 50mm ] it was a long journey , but got to lean a lot.
that you cannot go wide with a 50 mm , but always have the advantage of low light conditions .

some thing like driving a manual car :) you gotta learn from the deep shit .
bought a new flash - godox v 850 with manual model - Nikon version [well you can purchase the cannon version too ]
does the magic with giving the perfect light ., I used to use full power 1/1

the smart move I did thinking I was doing the thing right !
one day yes the flasher left us without even saying good bye.

so the lesson I learnt on flashes , never go 1/1
if you really are a rich man .

the best power levels would be
1/2 , 1/4 , 1/8 ,
for day light you do not need flash , other than using it for high speed . and may be few circumstances like shady areas or cloudy days  .
2 years passed , and now got some money in stash ., so will be going for a full frame booty :)

people will say good and bad about your stuff .
its life and its how life goes on . well you can break in to pieces or move on forward .

remember one thing , you gotta start small to be big . though am too , too small .yet .
But got bigger dreams ,  and too many aspirations where I expect the downfalls and got a crew to uplift you in every moment ..

so here is the lessons today !

1.choose your stuff and advance them in yearly plans .
because new and good gear do a difference !a big one !
 it gives you the magic which you needs to give upon your art .

2.Prime lenses matter a lot when you are in low light conditions

start collecting your G lenses in Nikon and prime types in canon [I am not a much canon guy ]
but here is a source

http://explore-lenses.usa.canon.com/prime-lens.html

SELECT A PRIME LENS
EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM

EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM

EF 35mm f/2 IS USM

EF 40mm f/2.8 STM

EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

lower the F - stop number on your camera to f/2.8 or lower to capture more light , also you can use the shutter speed , making it lower in speed + with a tripod if your hands are shaky shaky  .

Nikon people , you can go to this link and have fun in reading

3. Do not do Photography free of charge ! unless it really matters to you .
but people should know that there is a cost involvement , no body , but you will have to spend for your gear and the repairs .

Where it all started ...A story of 1 Pixel

Well ...
Some times people say it to my face .

So the step 1. is always expect the unexpected

Then when you hear bad about you
You either will fall and break in to pieces or will be born like a phoenix , which I really don't know Whether they exist   .
But believing in your self that you can do some thing is the first step ,
lets take a leap and see how it goes .


before I started to capture stuff and people , I had nothing , So literally I was just a dumb F*** who got nothing .

so what made me do photography?
well Nokia doesn't sponsor my blog , but I should say where it all started , it was a Nokia 6120C

when ever I go on a trip , I take about 900 + captures , and 99 % of them looked dull and shit was it

that's where I understood , that I should have the proper tools too .
not in my mind in those days to get in to the pro level , but I wish I had , thinking about the immense experience I got through out these years.


So here is my list signing off with my first blog :) keep in touch.

1.
Always expect the unexpected. be ready with what ever the tools you got , know your stuff well.
-at any event be ready with your settings and within seconds you might need to change the settings to correct or other wise you will miss the opportunity of getting the great snap which you client want you to capture .

2.
Believing in your self that you can do some thing is the first step - take a leap and see how it goes .

3.
Have the proper tools.You need a hammer to do the nails and a DSLR to do the magic within you :)

'Only if you can ' ''Show'' the middle finger to the people who say to you this " Just because someone has an expensive camera doesn’t mean that they’re a good photographer."
-but prove one day how big you are in heart and in art of photography .

oh and my dull photographs of early stages .
see this is where I started .
