From Play to Art
At 8 or 9 years old my mom bought me a couple of toy cameras, although I "took" many snapshots with them, those never saw the light (at least in the proper manner). Later when I was a teenager or so I used to "borrow" real cameras from friends to shot my essays, among them a Pentax K1000, Canon AE1, Minolta X370 and Nikon F. In 1987 I bought my first real camera, a Minolta Maxxum 5000, then I sold it and got a Canon Rebel, then a Nikon F70, F90, F100 and now a D300, at the same time play turned into work and then into art. Since I was a kid photography has been a semper fi dream and companion for me.

and how is the D300 working for you?
ReplyDeleteim trying to get a camera these days, but confused
Majed, thank you for visiting. D300 is fine for me but i would be happier with a D700 or a D3 but that only for professional issues. First thing you have to ask yourself is what kind of job do you need a camera for and how much money do you want to spend on it. Then if you already have had a camera maybe you have some preferences for some brand. With top of the line models you always will be safe. I would began searching for major brands cameras and reading the users reviews, that is very useful.
ReplyDeleteDo you still have your toy cameras?
ReplyDeleteThey take pretty good pictures you know ; )
Nope, but i bought an Holga some years ago. Photoshop have a plastic camera filter too in case you don't have a plastic one :)
