Budget Photography: an Introduction
As part of my new year resolution to write regularly, I’m creating a series of blogs on tips and suggestions for the photographer on a tight budget. I’ll be dishing out practical advice on cutting cost in this “expensive hobby” of ours.
The initial topic list includes:
- Why get a DSLR?
- Flash, Tripod, Lens - which comes first?
- Buying tips for your camera bags
- The benefits of downsizing - - - your gear.
- Does size matter?
- Etiquette for the newbie photographer
This will get me busy for a while.
You may ask why I’m giving these tips. Well, I’ve been asked about these topics so many times I thought it best to just write about it and point the person to my blogs. Feel free to try them out.
A disclaimer: These are my suggestions and opinions based on my experience. These are not rules you always follow, but they are more of guidelines, like the rule of thirds (sounds better than calling it the guideline of thirds). I’m in no way forcing you to adapt them or implement them; and in no way am I responsible if your gear lust dies after following these blogs.
Let the cheap times roll.
