Using iPads as cameras, for example, is like taking pictures with a cafeteria tray.
The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.
Notebook. No photographer should be without one!
I don't think about what camera I should use that much. I just pick up the one that looks nicest on the day.
I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!
I'm still very grateful to digital cameras in general, but I didn't have this feeling with the RED one.
Among other things, I use a Samsung mobile phone, a very bad quality video camera, and an old Olympus with extremely bad Sigma lenses.
The main reason I went to digital was because I got time-lapse, video, and still images all in one camera. Having a minimal amount of gear is really important for someone who wants to walk around. That allowed me to have this flexibility to document things in different ways.
I can't stress enough how unimportant the camera really is. Any brand of camera will do. For 95% of my shots, the lowest end DSLR will be just fine.
I love photography. My boyfriend's got a great camera, which I bought for his birthday.
Don’t pack up your camera until you’ve left the location.
I usually bring a point and shoot with me so I can go out on the weekends and shoot a bit. I used to bring more cameras, but I'm also an Ebay nut so sometimes I'll order something if I'm really pining for it when I'm on location.
You can tell a good ruined lens, right from the get-go.... That’s the kind of lens I'm looking for.
I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
