Morning, my fellow photographers! š
How are you all doing? Have you snapped any new pictures lately?
As a freelance photographer, Iām here to share my thoughts on camera gear and provide valuable advice for beginners. I believe in mastering the basics of photography before investing in expensive equipment, and I will share my personal gear setup. This post is a must-read for any aspiring shutterbug looking to take their skills to the next level. But before we dive in, let me tell you that gear isnāt the most important thing in photography; itās just a tool that you need to capture great shots.
Iāve noticed that beginners tend to get too caught up in gear (I was guilty of this too) š and end up spending a fortune on equipment they might not even need. Itās important to know what you want to shoot before splurging on gear, as it can be a costly mistake.
When starting out, itās best to learn the basics of photography and take as many photos as you can. Youāll start to realize that gear is not always the weakest link. In fact, once you master your current equipment, youāll know when itās time to upgrade to something more advanced.
Now, enough chitchat! Letās talk about my camera gear. My current setup includes:
- Sony a7 III
- Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8
- Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
- Sony 50mm f/1.8
- Velbon tripod
I prefer manual settings and shooting in RAW format. My favorite photo editing programs are Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, but lately Iāve also been playing around with GimpĀ and Darktable. Soon, Iāll write more about these two fantastic and free programs.
So, thatās it for today, folks! Thanks for stopping by and reading my post.

Why do you have a Fuji as hero image if you use Sony?! ????
