I have got a lot of questions about my camera lately. I wanted to do a quick post for anyone thinking about getting a camera for Christmas. If you do not care about cameras, skip to the bottom for a fun giveaway!
I have a Canon Rebel xsi. I have had it for about 2 years. It came with the standard EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens. I kept that lens for about a year before getting my first fixed lens.The lens makes all the difference.
The first lens I purchased was the Canon 85mm F/1.8. It is a pricey lens but I ended up finding one on Craigslist. It is my favorite lens I have.
While I love the 85mm lens it really is not very practical. If there was one lens that everyone should have I would suggest the 50mm f/1.8. It is super affordable, especially compared to the 50mm f/1.4.
Some basic tips that I have learned about photography:
The lower the F- stop(f/x.x), the more you can blur the background.
(example: this picture was taken with a f/1.8, something with a f/3.5 would have a clear background)
*Use your white balance. It makes a huge difference. The majority of the time I will leave mine on auto, but if something looks off try the WB.
*The higher the ISO- the brighter the picture.
*If you are not comfortable shooting in Manual, AV is the way to go(Canon terminology)
There you have it, my two cents. I AM BY NO MEANS AND EXPERT. I have never even had a class. I just have found these tips by trial and error and advice from other bloggers.

I'm totally craving a new camera! I want a digital SLR so this is very inspiring for me to actually pull the trigger. Photos are so important to collect memories - and to blog about :-)
ReplyDeleteAll of that looks like jibberish to me because I don't have a fancy camera, but when I do get one, I'll be sure to come back here for a reference! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all that info, on my holiday wishlist is in fact a new SLR camera, this info comes in very handy ;)
