I’m new to photography, i own a Canon eos 1300d and i know the basic things, such as how the camera works how aperture and exposure worlds, ISO and stuff
But how do i improve my skills overall?
I have athlete friends who are good and im the school photographer i wanna be able to be good enough to shoot pictures by their side, so atleast i don’t feel left out
Pls give tips and what stuff to buy
Practice and taking photos is going to be the best way to improve. Don’t fall into the trap of, “I have to have XYZ piece of gear to shoot good photos.”
So basically, if you know your camera, money isn’t a problem?
Well expensive cameras do exist because they are indeed better. But in many cases they aren’t necessarily better in ways that a beginner can appreciate. It’s better to understand what is limiting your photography and how the better gear can work towards covering that gap rather than simply buying a better cameras for its own sake. For most people however, even an entry level DSLR should have sufficient capability ( although I will advocate for getting quality lenses that will fulfill your needs)
The Canon eos 1300d was given to me as a gift, and i probably can’t afford a better camera till i can somehow earn money with photography
But i am saving for a 55-250mm lens, so i can zoom into stuff
I’ll be honest… I have no idea what you mean by that statement.
No like, I’ve heard someone say before that if you know the limitations of your camera and master it, money isn’t gonna be a big of a problem since you can take great shots with cheap equipment
That is correct.
