This was shot on a smartphone , what does it take to give it a shot ? NOTHING.
If u are interested in photography don't be ashamed of shooting with that phone of yours . Go out shoot as many pictures as you can but learn from what you have shot .In that process u get creative , and when you realise it's time to buy a DSLR camera and you are serious about it then give go buy .But first LEARN.
The above photo you see is shot with an smartphone camera . So, don't be ashamed of doing what you desire , I was also insulted peopleple told me go get a "BIG CAMERA" at first then try photography.
I hope this post inspired you to gout and shoot.But I didn't have the money and still Don't have, but never lost the courage to do what I wanted and I got considerably better with time.
Please resteem this post to inspire your friends who are afraid or aren't willing to show up.
