Knowing your Camera
I was lucky enough to attend Nigel Danson’s latest webinar about Secrets to Creating Extraordinary Images. One of the first points Nigel discussed was knowing how to operate your camera so that it becomes second nature, just like driving a car.
I realised while listening to Nigel this is where I have gone wrong recently and why I’m spending time faffing around, this was especially noticeable on a recent holiday in North Wales where I didn’t come away with the photo’s I had hoped despite the condition (also not helped by leaving my wide angle lens at home!).
It’s now clear I made two mistake prior to visiting North Wales where I had a planned a few photography outings:
Trading in my Canon 250D (APSC) for the Canon RP (Mirrorless Full Frame) just before the holiday and only spending half an hour taking photos along the local river with it.
Assuming (as it was Canon) everything would be the same i.e Menus/Settings.
Since the webinar I have spent time familiarising myself with the RP Menu/Settings, this has been helped by a number of YouTube tutorials.
The hope is to have a much better understanding of the RP for when I’m next able to get out, reduce the faffing and take better photos.
