Summary
We've all heard the saying, "Clothes make the man"; but does the photographic equipment make the photographer? One might think so when looking at new advanced cameras, dream lenses, and all the editing software out there. Others might disagree after admiring the wonderful photographs by Henri Cartier Bresson or Edward Weston, which were taken with relatively simple cameras and lenses.The real questions to ask yourself include: What kind of images would I like to make? And what are all these things that I see advertised as indispensable photo equipment really for?This book will teach you about the variety of photographic tools available and what each item is meant to accomplish. Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of various pieces of equipment and discover what kind of gear you need to realize your creative ambitions.
