I've recently received a camera many consider to be the ‘it’ (beauty) blogging camera to be, on trial. During the first six months of blogging I've used a mobile phone camera (Sony Xperia Arc). After that I've purchased my beloved Nikon p310. I bloody love that camera, I how exactly how it ‘breathes’ as I've gotten to know is so well. Many ask me to make photography posts and one day maybe I will – it's just that I still don't feel like I know enough regarding photography. What I will tell you, though, is that camera doesn't make the photographer. I've seen some fabulous photos made with iPhones, proving that you don't need a DSLR to make good photos. I also have tons of examples of people who have top notch cameras but their photos look…lacking. There also has to be idea, creativity and sense of capturing the moment of the charm of an item behind the camera. To be brutally honest, I also think that none of us beauty bloggers or enthusiasts need a DSLR. I get so many compliments on my photography and people really are surprised to know that I don't use professional camera or equipment. I don't even own any lights and I have never made a lightbox (not that it's hard to make but still, never felt inclined). A window and my Nikon is all I need. So why try this Canon? Well, if you do develop a love towards photography – you'll most likely have a desire to do more with your photographs in terms of depth and dimension. I find that my Nikon doesn't perform well in certain situations which is a bit limiting and I'd also like to try different approach towards making photos. I believe that I've developed a certain style of photography during these past two years and to that I will stay true but I have so many new ideas and I'd like to experiment a bit. Over the course of next week or more I'll be making photos only with Canon EOS 600D for the blog. I'd like to know if you can tell any difference. And finally, after all that testing is done – hubby had a fab idea last night. As a finale, I'll post a side-by-side comparison of Nikon p310 and Canon 600D. Same items will be on photos and captured under same light and other conditions. You'll judge how each camera performs and based on your opinion I'll decide if I want to keep the Canon or not. What do you think? Below I'll leave some random photos I've made with Canon EOS 600D, just as an example of how it works. These are literally first photos I made so do pardon some rookie mistakes.
Nedavno sam dobila na testiranje fotoaparat koji mnogi smatraju ‘onim pravim’ (bjuti) blogerskim aparatom. Tokom prvih sest mjeseci bloganja sam za fotografije koristila kamericu mobilnog telefona Sony Xperia Arc. Nakon sest mjeseci sam kupila svoj voljeni Nikon p310. Ja stvarno volim tu kameru, znam tacno kako ‘dise’ jer vjerujem da sam je upoznala u milimetar. Mnogo sam dobila upita glede posta o fotografiji te mozda cu jednog dana i napisati nesto na tu temu. Trenutno mislim da jos uvijek nemam dovoljno znanja da bih pisala o konkretnim savjetima koji bi bili korisni glede fotografije. Ono sto cu vam ipak reci jeste da u svakom slucaju kamera ne cini fotografa. Vidjela sam toliko krasnih fotografija napravljenih Iphone-om, sluzeci kao dokaz da vam nije potreban DSLR aparat za odlicne fotke. Takodjer imam toliko primjera osoba koje posjeduju fotoaparate opasno mocnih specifikacija ali njihove fotke su…recimo, nezadovoljavajuce. Trebalo bi da postoji ideja, kreativnost i smisao da odredjeni momenat ili sarm pojedinog predmeta bude uhvacen tim aparatom. Ako bih bila brutalno iskrena, rekla bih da niti jednoj beauty blogerici ili entuzijasti uopste nije potreban DSLR aparat. Dobila sam toliko lijepih pohvala, komplimenata za rad sa Nikon p310 modelom i vidjela sam vidno iznenadjenje kod ljudi na spomen da ne koristim profesionalnu kameru niti opremu. Ne posjedujem niti posebno osvjetljenje, niti lightbox (ne da ga je tesko napraviti, jednostavno do sada nisam imala potrebe za njim). Prozor i moj Nikon p310 su sve sto mi je do sada bilo potrebno. Pa, zasto onda isprobavati Canon? Ukoliko vam se razvije sklonost ka fotografiji – najvjerovatnije cete, prije ili kasnije, pozeljeti uciniti nesto novo, drugacije sa svojim fotkama. Eksperimentisati sa dubinom polja i dimenzijama. Primjetila sam da moj Nikon ima nesto nize performanse u odredjenim uslovima, sto djeluje donekle ogranicavajuce, ali bih takodjer voljela isprobati i drugacije stilove/pristupe fotografisanju. Vjerujem da sam tokom ove dvije godine razvila odredjeni ‘stil’ fotkanja koji je citateljicama prepoznatljiv i namjeravam mu ostati vjerna no imam i neke nove ideje koje mogu pokusati materijalizovati samo putem eksperimentiranja. Tokom slijedece sedmice, mozda malo duze, postavljati cu fotke na blog napravljene iskljucivo sa Canon EOS 600D fotoaparatom. Voljela bih ako bi mi javile da li primjecujete neku razliku u odnosu na prethodne fotke. I napokon, za kraj je muz-puz imao odlicnu ideju. Kao finale, postaviti cu post sa usporednim fotkama napravljenim Nikon p310 i Canon 600D modelima. Fotkati cu iste stvari pod istim uvjetima sa ova dva aparata a vi cete ocijeniti koliko se medjusobno razlikuju i u cemu. Na osnovu vaseg misljenja (i jos par stvari koje cu uzeti u obzir), odluciti cu da li da zadrzim Canon ili ne. Sta mislite o ovome? Ispod cu vam ostaviti i par nasumicnih fotki napravljenih Canon fotoaparatom, cisto da vidite kako funkcionise za pocetak. Ovo su doslovno prve fotke napravljene njim i zato bih vas zamolila da predvidite neke pocetnicke greskice.
Predivan je i ja štedim za Canon 🙂
