Photography ! Start with Basics

one of the biggest question in photography is that "do I need a DSLR to do photography" and the answer is “absolutely no”
Now days anyone can find a good point and shoot lens in smart phones as well,I believe what really matters is your perception and your willing to do photography. I have seen many people who are waiting to buy a DSLR just to start photography but at the mean time they do nothing,remember you still have good quality cheap alternatives to start up with and starting with a DSLR is most of the times not going to work, my advice is to do photography with a smart phone or a point and shoot camera and see where your pictures leading you and if you feel like you are in the current track and you have the passion then go for a DSLR and continue and remember doing photography with a DSLR is a expensive hobby so be-careful with your choices and be wise too.



I decided to share some of the pictures I taken seven or eight years ago,all these are taken with a point and shoot camera and these are the pictures which made my mind to buy a DSLR and continue my hobby.






When to Buy a DSLR

Once you get used to photography you can first master your skill sets ( these things are different from one to another ) and once you feel like you want to do photography further, you can first study bit about photography , you-tube and some on-line articles might help you with this, and one important thing is to identify differences and similarities between good photographs and study study about good photographers ( this will help you a lot ! ).After that you can decide whether you needing a DSLR or not,but always remember if your pictures are not good enough and you are trying to make them good by buying a DSLR then you are doing something wrong ! Because as I said earlier you don't need a DSLR to shine your abilities and creativity.
