I've always been a fan of photography. Sadly, the camera is quite expensive even at the lowest end. It was in 2016 when I started writing, a cover photo is a good way to catch people's attention. Since I didn't have a camera, I used my cheap phone to capture images. Sometimes it got blurry and most of the time I was disappointed with the results. Instead of worrying about my images, I did my very best to write well. Unlike cameras, writing doesn't require money to make it better.
It was 2023 when I had my own camera. It was second hand or not brand new. Also, it was not a professional camera, maybe some of you recognize the Nikon D3100. Well compared to a mobile, it was better of course. Well at first, I had no idea that it was not a professional one. I only learned from other photographers and the internet as well that it was not. Even so, I earned quite a little from it. Someone hired me as their official photographer, in a graduation ceremony, pictorials, etc. But I was a little embarrassed when I saw other photographers next to me using a high-end camera. Lol
In 2024, the next year when I purchased my first second-hand camera. I bought another second-hand camera but this time a semi-professional one. The Nikon D90, it was again quite an old camera but thanks to it my earnings in photography got bigger. I covered debut, reunion, graduation ceremonies, and many more. This time I became an official photographer for a prenup and wedding. I was so happy because it was my dream to showcase my skills in an event like this.
After the event, I became happier because my clients were happy. They were satisfied with the way I captured and put art into it. Like the colors and the angle of the images. I heard good feedback as well from the clients. I was afraid at first of course if I could do it well but thank God; They were not just good but beautiful.
This year is another year since I bought my Nikon d90. I bought the cheapest Sony full frame, the A7ii. I'm astonished that it captured images, from the details, sharpness, and lighting. I'm very happy with it even though they said to me that I should choose a high-end one which is better for video and photos. I didn't mind actually, I'm content with this new partner. The images I uploaded were captured with my new camera. The video that I tested was quite okay for me. For now, I'm not thinking of getting another camera because this one satisfies me.
Oh, sorry for the things I captured. I was at my but I was eager to try it out.
