Earlier today, before I left to do our Christmas shopping, I emailed several people asking why they have chosen Nikon/Canon as their DSLR’s. Then tonight, I checked for their answers. I tried to weigh the pros and cons. I’m not sure if I have come up with the final decision but something bothered me.
AM I READY FOR A DSLR? I started imagining to feel awkward owning a DSLR. What if I don’t have the ‘eye’ for photography? I admire lots of pictures taken by different people, alright. But will I be able to capture great moments too?
Honestly, one major reason I want a DSLR is for our family’s (particularly for now, my daughter’s) pictures and scrapbooks. Now, there’s the pressure to prove to myself (and my husband) that the DSLR is worth (rather than just using a point and shoot) the purchase.
I have so many (photo) projects in mind. So many that it’s starting to scare me. Am i a photographer in my past life?
When I was younger I will always borrow my mom’s 110 film camera. I’d saved up money to buy film. In college, while everybody else saves up for their car parts, I was trying to save up for a nice camera. So even in my younger years, I love taking pictures and being in pictures.
Sometimes I get irritated that photography had become a fad. That almost everybody claims to be a photography enthusiast. But at the same time, happy that there’s so much inspiration shared over the internet.
