nathan mccreery replied to Peter Hung's discussion What are the common preconceptions of photography for newbies?"I still apply the same planning in digital as in film days. A lot of research into location, planning the layout, clothing preferences, makeup etc. The only thing that's changed for me is the medium. I think a very common…"
Peter Hung replied to Peter Hung's discussion What are the common preconceptions of photography for newbies?"Haha nice. I also remember the days of film photography. A lot more planning went into making a photo even if I was going out for the day somewhere and wanted to take some shots.. I would have to choose "Am I going to shoot in…"
nathan mccreery replied to Peter Hung's discussion What are the common preconceptions of photography for newbies?"That dovetails nicely into a Churchill quote; "in every man's life a moment of opportunity comes. What a pity if that moment arrived and he was not prepared". I think that's an accurate quote. If not…"

nathan mccreery replied to Peter Hung's discussion What are the common preconceptions of photography for newbies?"The most common misconception, in my opinion, is embodied in your last sentence. ..."since you became fluent in pressing buttons". There is so much more to creating a really fine photograph than just "pushing…"
Peter Hung posted a discussionWhat are the common preconceptions of photography for newbies?
I was wondering the other day about preconceptions/misconceptions that I had as a newbie in photography and wondered what other fellow photographers thought about them. I wanted to write a blog post about them and thought I would do a bit of general research into the idea itself. Some of the preconceptions I encountered were things like 'better camera = better photos' or 'it needs to be bright and sunny to take nice photos.' So what misconceptions can you think of and how has it changed…See More

FIAD PHOTOGRAPHY replied to Peter Hung's discussion Prime Lens?"In my experience, lenses are very much a matter of quality over any other factor.
