When I buy a Nikon camera, I have no tolerance for the instructions. I'm ready to make some mistakes using it and get some bad pictures back until I've figured it out for myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm self-taught and emailed photographers I knew if I had questions I couldn't figure out from the manual or online.
The problem for me is that I've never actually studied photography, so it's quite a steep learning curve. Cameras these days do so much for you automatically but I still think there's a point where you should actually know the technical side.
Everything seems really simple on paper until you take a camera out of the box.
Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.
I have done my best. I saw a fatal flaw in the camera industry. We did our best to address it.
You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.
Sometimes when you're heavy into the shooting or editing of a picture, you get to the point where you don't know if you could ever do it again.
When it comes to the camera, I can do my thing. But I'm bashful.
I also know what looks good before the camera, how to move the camera, and how to get a story on the screen.
Kids don't come with an instruction manual. So if you're gonna make mistakes, at least make them your own way.
