Canon 5d Question

• kezza_20

  Its odd that anyone thinks they are a photographer because they can buy a camera...

  maybe im getting old but it strikes me that as cameras have become cheaper and digital more prevalent people think they have what it takes. A good eye and all that. Seems I suppose to be the most easy of the arts to get into...

  If you cant pick up a 30 year old camera, fix it, clean it, light a room process your own prints you are not a photographer.

  Decent photographs are the green fees for being an amateur, a professional level photographer needs to understand everything from how film is made to how lighting works to processing film and everything in between...

  I've worked with some pretty big name photographers and its a science and art...

  I'd love to do it, but I think it would be easier to retrain as an architect.

  photographers seem to specialize, they find something they excel at or enjoy then refine their techniques/methods over time
