    Being a great photographer is not having lots of money to spend on equipment, but being able to do art with the minimum you have.

    You inspired me to use my kit lens more! I've been obsessed with using my prime lens for portraits but upon watching this video, my kit lens can do better, and sharper photos! Thank you so much for making this video for all of us amateur photographers!

    • @cameronmcdonnell912
      @cameronmcdonnell912  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So glad to hear this bro! Given the right lighting conditions, the Kit lens can produce some sharp looking photos. Something about starting out with an entry level camera and lens, means you have to get creative and really put in the work to create great images. Really pushes yourself as a photographer. Keep at it mate! :)

    Hey, this video gave me a lot of confidence for using kit lens (my only lens). What length do you recommend shooting on. 35mm, 55mm? I find that shooting with 50mm gives the most dramatic/natural photos (portraits) but it removes a lot of bokeh since I'm shooting on f/5. What focal length do you reccomnd shooting on? Loved your video

    • @cameronmcdonnell912
      @cameronmcdonnell912  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey hey! Thank you so much for your comment :) I'm always a sucker for 50mm on a kit lens but like you said f/5 is a bokeh killer. So around 35mm is a good sweet spot. I would recommend (if you can) maybe investing in the 50mm f/1.8. You can get them pretty cheap, and even cheaper second-hand. It's a big jump in your creativity for a small price. Well worth it
