People often tell me they wish they could take pictures like me. Surprisingly, I feel the same way when I see pictures from the likes of Moose Peterson, Scott Bourne, Jay Maisel or Art Morris. Take this picture for example.
This image was taken with my iPhone and minimally touched in Ligthroom 2.
How about this one?
This image was also taken with my iPhone when I was waiting for the sun to rise at Jupiter Inlet, one of my favorite bird photography locations. (I will have some bird photographs on the blog shortly).
So you see, you dont need to spend a lot of money to take great pictures. You need patience, perseverance and practice but not expensive equipment!
Excellent point. Without the three P’s you mentioned, all the fancy equipment in the world won’t save you. It boils down to you, the photographer.
I’ve always liked Steichen’s quote “no photographer is as good as the simplest camera.”
Thanks PJ. I go back to the 3 P’s all the time. Actually the list of things I think about before I press the button keeps growing! You have some great images and links on your site.
Best,
