Keep saying to yourself “If I only had that (newest) lens or camera, then I could take better pictures.” Have what photographers lovingly call GAS (gear acquisition syndrome)? Then it’s time to stop lusting after the newest gadgets and start taking better pictures.
This presentation will give you ten reasons to get out there and shoot without spending another RMB. Mitchell Masilun, photography instructor at The Hutong, will give a short talk on techniques, tips, and ideas on how to take better pictures with the gear you already have.
A lot of the problem people have is that they use gear as an excuse that limits them from creating beautiful pictures, that is simply not true. Gear is normally the limiting factor when it comes to photography; having too many lenses to choose from or not understanding the camera you already have will also limit your image-making skills.
Some of the themes discussed will include technical, creative, and inspirational aspects that will cost you nothing as far as money, but will give you enough ideas to start taking better pictures the moment you leave.
