Let's talk about cameras.
I called this class DIY product photography because I want us to be able to create amazing photos with
the things we already own and with as little expense as possible.
I want you to be able to start shooting with whatever camera you have right now in photography.
They say that the best camera to start is the one that you have access to, and that is true.
Please take time to really practice and say tons of photos and see if your current set up or if your
current gear is enough.
If, let's say, you are using your phone and you have applied everything that you have learned here
and you're still not satisfied with the images you are creating, then.
Yes.
You may consider getting a DSL, ar or a mirrorless camera if budget is your priority.
You may consider buying a used one.
You may also check affordable energy level cameras.
They are not bad at all.
Lens is actually something that you will really need to invest on if ever you will decide to get the
SLR or Amaryllis camera.
I use a fifty millimeter prime lens to get this shot.
On the other hand, I used a 2.8 60 millimeter equivalent macro lens to get the shot.
You will also need a camera that is capable of high shutter speed to get a shot like this.
A high aperture lens to get a shot like this.
Upgrading your gear will depend on what you want to achieve.
My advice is to really think about what you want and what you need, starting with what you have.
And really taking time to practice will help you decide if it's worth upgrading your gear.
Now, if you are a beginner and you really want to learn how to use your DSL are or mirrorless camera,
then please check out my Baesler photography course.
But for now, it's OK to stick with aldermen if you are using a LR.
Please use the built in camera if you are using your smartphone.
Make sure it's always clean the lens and that your subject is in focus.
In the next lesson, we are going to talk about shooting angles.
