Often people will look at my photographs and ask me what kind of camera do I use? Well I tell them what I shoot with and mostly I get a blank stare from them. The only people who don’t stare blankly at me are other photographers because they know what planet I come from.
What usually comes next in a line of questions and comments is them comparing their point and shoot camera photos to my DSLR photographs. They say they can’t get great photographs like that on a point and shoot, and I assure them that they can as long as you know how to use your camera properly. You can get some amazing shots with point and shoot cameras, and you can get bad photos with DSLR cameras.
The difference between photographs from a point and shoot to a DSLR camera isn’t the cameras, its the person behind them. Im hoping I haven’t confused. I tend to do that. You can get some great shots from a point and shoot, SLR, DSLR, and even camera phones. You just have to know how to use them.
So here Im posting a very pretty picture I took on my point and shoot. I carry this around with me all the time…to capture fun moments like family gatherings or random things I see on the street or when walking around. This was taken at work of a flower that I some how haven’t killed with lack of watering.
I’ll be posting more point and shoot shots in the future for everyone to enjoy.
