POINT AND SHOOT
As for many, point and shoot photography is simply the act of pointing a camera to a scene and shooting it. The person using the camera doesn't mind angles, lights, camera settings and mode preferences. What they want is to simply grab out memories by taking photos of it. This blog wishes to change this perspective.
Many of
us want to have a digital single-lens reflex camera- DSLR for short. Well, who
doesn't? Though it's heavy and way expensive compared to point-and-shoot
cameras, it allows us to get near-to-perfect quality shots. But did you know
that many professional photographers always keep handy point-and-shoot cameras
in their bags? Yes, it's true.
There are
a lot of advantages you can get in owning a point-and-shoot camera:
light in weight, easy to use, and small in size - to name a few.
Although
it pays a lot in using a high-end camera when it comes to photo quality, there
are several things that a point-and-shoot camera has that a dslr doesn't have.
And yes, sometimes, point-and-shoot cameras give better photo quality
and effects.
AIM
My aim in
the creation of this blog is make many point-and-shoot camera users believe
that there is something more than mere pointing and shooting. I will be doing
this by posting my original photos using my own point-and-shoot camera.
THE CAMERA
What point-and-shoot camera will I be using throughout this 'picturific' adventure? Good question! Having been a point-and-shoot Canon camera user for almost two years now (specifically Canon A470), I found out that the brand of camera is at its best whenever I need it. I have not experienced any defects and difficulties in using it. So yes, it's Canon.
After saving some loot of my own, I decided to reward myself with a digital camera which I can bring with me wherever I go. Just before the Yuletide Season of 2010 came to an end, I bought myself a token- it's nothing else but the Canon Powershot A490.
