Photography and Cameras
There are so many of my friends who get in contact to ask me advice about photography and cameras, how to get a certain result while using there camera or others who would like my opinion on buying cameras, lenses, lighting, gadgets etc…which has inspired me in writing and creating this website. The great thing about photography is that it is a ever changing subject where there isn’t really a right way or a wrong way of doing things, I have come across instances where people have supposable been photographing the wrong way and have come out with astonishing images and a new way of using the camera or by mistake putting in the wrong film and being pleasantly surprised when it comes out developed into images and I could go on and on, the thing is what is a fantastic, beautiful, powerful picture etc… listening to people over the years I totally believe in the saying “Its in the eye of the beholder “. Art is how we as an individual see the world and our life.
Cameras
The great thing about cameras is they all have there own personality from a pinhole to a professional camera, so trying out different formats and models is great fun as all cameras have a uniqueness in handling, there delivery and exposure of an image, sometimes a high end camera doesn’t deliver that retro feel you may be looking for.
Leica Rangefinder
Photography is such a personal thing we view things in different ways through our values and how we where brought up and how we look at beauty, destruction, good, evil and how colors have personal impact etc…and we being armed with a camera tell our story and capture our values, a wonderful way to show others how we view our world through our eyes, one persons eyes that I Think captures touching images with his camera is Steve McCurry which I have added a video with below.

What camera or brand that is best for great photography beginners? Price between $100-300. That is NOT a lot of money. Your choices are very limited, I really want to get into photography and I have being taking mediocre pictures for a few years now. My camera now is only 6 mega pixels. I have news for you. Good news: Better camera will NOT make you better images. Bad news: better photographer will take better images. Translation: You need to improve your photographic skills. News Flash: I use 6 MP digital cameras for weddings. The camera is NOT important as much as the photographer. At the moment i am only using the camera to learn angles. What kind of camera that you know of which is cheap enough for my budget, and good for beginners? Many of the Canons G series are excellent camera to experiment and learn. Some of the S series are also excellent. I’ve owned 3 G series and 1 S series. They are NOT cheap. So buy it used from eBay. I got mine (Canons S3) from eBay for $ 200 when it was going for $ 400 new) I also use Nikon DSLR. They are way more expensive than what you want to spend (even with the lens).

Hello M!Well first, you need to consider which type of film you will be using. Basically there are two types of films you could use, either the 120mm (a.k.a medium format film) or the regular 35mm film. This shouldn’t be a problem since medium format cameras such as Holga & Diana can be modified to take a 35 film, and to me that’s an advantage.I haven’t tried the supersampler yet. It looks mighty fun But I wouldn’t recommend it a lot since there isn’t much of modifications you can do to it unlike the Diana.As for the fish-eye camera, I would suggest getting a instead of the whole camera. This way you can have both a regular and a fish eye camera at the same time. Assuming that you live in Kuwait, keep in mind that medium format films aren’t very accessible here. As a matter of a fact, I only found one place that still sells 120s but they only had one kind film & unfortunately it was Fuji pro 160.Since you’re new to photography, I would suggest eheitr getting a or a with their (just in case you wanted to use a regular film) and get your film supply from .If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. I’d be glad to help a future fellow lomographer -Nada

“Does a DLSR really take better pictures that makes it worth the price?”Not really. Wedding photographers just like to carry them around instead of point and shoots because we have inferiority complexes
But seriously, if you are in it to better your skills…and are willing to learn, rather than just use an automatic setting… bump up the equipment a notch. If you are iffy on the price, I’d (highly) suggest an older model Canon Rebel. Not the Xsi that just came out, but serach ebay for a canon rebel xt dslr (beware, there are also film version floating about, make sure it is the digital SLR).You’ll be able to TONS with it. The lenses will be the hard part. I’d suggest the 50mm f/1.8 for around $70 to go with it… even if it come with a kit lens (probably an 18-55mm ) . The things you will learn with a prime lens are priceless. That’s my two cents. Good luck.
