Photography Passion: Digitalize Your Getaways & Cityscapes

Among the many ways to express your inner thoughts, your amazements and admirations, is photography. While today’s world that revolves around social media has posed photography as a manner of one’s self-promotion, in its core, photography has always been a way of creatively capturing moments of life and freezing them in time in the form of a photo. Although the group of people who still develop actual photos printed on a piece of paper is very small, that doesn’t mean photos have lost their initial value. They’re as valuable as ever, just that now, they’ve gone digital. So, as a creative soul in the quest for the perfect way of expressing yourself, why not try photography?

I remember the time I bought my first camera. Back in the days owning a camera wasn’t exactly the must-have technology like it is today. I went on a trip in Europe and saw so many beauties, that after I came back I cried almost a day regretting that I didn’t took it seriously and bought the camera earlier to bring memories back. The nature, the castles, the cities and the people. All of that filled my soul back then, and in some corners of my mind, it still does. That was my wake-up call – it was going to be me, my camera and all the amazing shots I was going to make. So take it from an expert: start searching the many camera shops in Australia and look for your partner in crime.

Start With a DSLR

I can’t recommend you start with something very pro and expensive as there are so many things in photography that you’ll need to learn and practice first. However, I do recommend you get a DSLR camera, which will provide you with an immediate review of your photos, and a possibility to take steadier shots because of the heavy body and degree of photo quality that will definitely convince you to pursue photography as your hobby. When you visit camera shops in Australia, prepare to be hit by a very vast offer of DSLR cameras, as they vary a lot in manners of brand, models, sizes and of course, price. Maybe the initial investment would be a little bit of a drawback for you, but have in mind that this is not a hobby you’ll throw away in a month or so; you’ll be hooked on it and eager to upgrade every day.

Start With Trusting Your Eyes

A lot of people think that a good photo needs a lot of scenery preparation, requisites, lighting and a crew of people to take care of every small detail. OK, that may be true when it comes to shooting with people and when you need a certain mood captured, but for starters, try trusting your eyes: shoot nature itself! The best thing about nature and its scenery is that you can’t change it – all you need to do is just understand your camera and know what to use when. Then, simply go on a road trip and start shooting all the amazing surroundings around you. I can guarantee you’ll make some wow-ing photos.

Trust Me, You’ll Want to Excel in the Area

After a few amazing shoots and some really cool photos, you’ll be so amazed by your own work, you’ll want to upgrade your equipment. But let me stop you here – expensive cameras are no joke, and if you do decide to get one, make sure you make a plan on how to use it. Sign up for an online course for photography, or maybe do a little more reading on the matter. Broaden your knowledge and then do a research on the cameras you’ll need. See what will fit your needs most and then think about buying. Before you actually get to this point, try changing lenses just to experience the difference.
