Photograph and Camera talk

[pechelman]

It's all personal preference, but for a long time now I've preferred shooting with prime lenses over zoom. As for if 35mm or whatever, it just depends on how you see scenes most often. I used to be a big fan of 35mm but now it's one of my least favorites, always feeling not wide enough or too wide. I guess that's why a lot of people like it as a single lense kit.

Certainly though, that camera and lense will be an amazing starting kit for someone new to photography, but you could also go much simpler/lower cost to start like one of the older x100s.

@Jett129 Thanks a lot Jett. Because of the light/shadow situation I preferred b/w , but I have to admit, that most of my portraits are in b/w

When I was in Arches National Park this guy pulls into the parking lot,in a van,takes two big ass parrots out and lets this one go. If I didn't take a picture you never would've believed me.

I shoot a Nikon F4S with a multitude of lenses. I usually shoot Portra 400 or HP5.

@Jett129

I was sitting on the couch, drinking my morning coffee. It was just there.

@SFMCfranky Sometimes that's how some of the best shots happen,but you did have the presence of mind to pick up your phone and take the shot. I'm a strong believer in the old adage "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
