099: Your Entry Level Camera is Not Good Enough

May 21, 2018 Raymond Hatfield
099-Youtube.jpg

Last week I got an email that really made me upset. It felt like I took 2 steps back with the momentum Ive built with you the listeners of the podcast. A listener asked a question that was clearly a blatant misunderstanding of not only cameras but photography in general. The question was trying to get the camera to do all of the work for the photographer. A Camera is simply a tool that does what you tell it to. No matter the tool, even if you have the worlds best tool, if you don't have an understanding of how to use the tool it will all be for nothing. 

I share how your entry level camera is a great tool and how its fully capible of shooting a wedding if you know how to use the tool in your hand. I share the roadmap of how to get to the point where you can shoot a wedding on an entry level camera. 

It takes 2 things. 

Practice & Patience. 

Thats it.
