I used to love photography. Started out with a canon 50d and loved that camera and took it everywhere we went. Got some amazing photos thoughtout my time with it and had a blast. Really got into photography from seeing people on social media and YouTube. Photography was a huge reason for us to go out and explore areas. Found out i was actually pretty good at photography. Switched to a few sony mirrorless cameras and it seemed since the switch I lost my spark with photography. Really hated the sony platform and the camera was really small feeling in my hands (a6000). Recently sold all my sony gear and thinking going back to canon. I even have a samsung s22 ultra phone for the camera ability and only use it here and there for quick shots. I also found my dad’s old sears film camera and started thinking about having it cleaned to start messing with it. Those that fell out of the hobby and got back in, what did you feel helped?
Hello, as someone who has literally just had this after forking out the get a Sony a7iv and hating it I’ll say this… What you hold in your hand has to be something you love to use I had Sony a6000 with sigma 50mm f1.4 before the a7iv and absolutely loved it just the whole process of using the camera and also the photos the combination produced has a certain feel to them! After switching I found I basically stopped nearly all together tried to get used to using the a7iv and I just couldn’t I switched back whilst I was in Paris on a trip with my partner and realized straight away it was because I wasn’t enjoying using the camera it felt as if I had a huge computer in my hands there was no enjoyment or character to using this for me! Switched to Fuji xt-5 and straight back in the game using it all the time and really really enjoying the whole process! I prefer a camera that feels like something I enjoy using with a lot of character as it makes me want to use it more and makes the whole process of taking photos something I enjoy doing! So same as an other artist might have certain pencils they like to use or a paint brush or a certain musical instrument you need to find a camera that makes you enjoy what your doing! I wish you the best of luck! 😁
