We All Start From Somewhere
We All Start From Somewhere

Thought about updating my blog with a post that plagued a lot of younger or beginner photographers, and that is they feel the need to get the a more expensive gear since they can't seem to get the shots they want.

I want to show that I stuck with my D5000 for many years. I wanted to learn the techniques more first, such as compositing/framing, off shoe flash, etc., before I started to even think of upgrading my DSLR body (granted, I did get better performing lenses when I felt I outgrew the kitlens - but hey, that is what we usually tell others getting into digital photography: collect better glass before upgrading the body).

Shooting Information:

•Nikon D7200 with MB-D15 Battery Grip
•Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM
•Manual Mode
•1/200th @ f/2
•ISO 200
•Flash Not Fired

Post Processing Information:

•Adobe Lightroom Classic CC
•Nik Software Analog Efex Pro 2
•Cropped

I accept any comment, from praises, awards, invitations, all the way to criticisms - as long as the criticism is constructive that I can learn and improve from. So, don't shy away with the comments!! =]

You are also free to use any of my photos without a fee (except any photos that are portraits of any of my friends or family members), I only ask in return that you credit me, link my Flickr profile, not re-editing any of my shots, and not removing my watermark.

Finally, consider following me! I will certainly follow back! You can never have too many friends!! =]
