Every day, many people are looking for a little advice to help them take their first steps in photography. Discover the first step to get started: choosing your camera.
- How to choose your camera?
The first point of all will be to choose the camera. If you already have one, you can skip this section.
In fact, you do not need to have the latest model on the market, any camera will do to start with, and over time you can change to the equipment that best suits your needs.
If, on the other hand, you don’t have one, before talking about the features you should look for, always remember that the camera does not make the photographer. Or to put it another way: with the best camera, you can take bad pictures.
Light, framing, angle, color processing, timing… these are some of the most decisive elements when it comes to taking a spectacular photo, and none of them depend on the camera.
That’s not to say that the choice of camera doesn’t matter. But that there are things that the camera sets up and things that the photographer has to set up.
- Features for a first camera
That said, which digital camera to choose, which one is right for me? There are many variables to consider.
There is currently a wide range of cameras available at very attractive prices. You can find compact cameras, bridges, SLRs for beginners and even the famous mirrorless cameras that are gradually overtaking their competitors in terms of sales.
One of the most notable differences from SLR cameras is undoubtedly the type of viewfinder.
The choice of camera can also depend on the type of photography you want to do. Look at some photographer’s websites to find out what type of photography you prefer. We recommend that you visit Guillaume Expérience’s website, which presents his magnificent achievements.
- You have a camera but want a better one
Si vous avez déjà un appareil photo numérique et que vous pensez que pour vous lancer dans ce hobby, vous devez en acheter un autre, nous vous conseillons d’attendre un peu. Faites d’abord vos premiers pas.
Expérimentez et réalisez les limites de votre appareil photo actuel et les fonctions que vous allez utiliser le plus. Et une fois que vous êtes au clair, commencez à chercher votre futur appareil photo : vous aurez plus de garanties que ce que vous achetez est ce dont vous avez vraiment besoin.
- Choosing a good lens for your camera
Une autre raison pour laquelle nous vous recommandons, si vous avez déjà un appareil photo, d’en tirer le meilleur parti avant d’en acheter un nouveau, est que l’outil du photographe ne se limite pas à l’appareil photo. Les objectifs sont un autre facteur fondamental qui influencera grandement le résultat de vos photos.
Il faut savoir que selon le type d’appareil photo que vous possédez, ils peuvent être interchangeables ou non. Si c’est le cas, il existe une grande variété d’objectifs parmi lesquels choisir, et ils sont destinés à différents genres et thèmes photographiques.
