Years ago I started with the old digital camera my dad gave to me. At this time the cell phone cameras weren’t as great as they are today. That all changed when these cameras got better. I began to prefer the camera on my phone.
But at my
birthday in 2015 I got my first DSLR (Nikon D5300). I got really excited and
wanted to photograph everything. But I have to confess that the most of the time
I’ve hardly known what I did.
After some time
I wanted to know how I’m also able to make such great photos and watched
several Youtube videos and read tutorials. That was also the point when I
decided to start a photo challenge to improve my skills. (I only own a kit lens
so far. But other objectives are planned to be bought.)
But because
I don’t take my Nikon everywhere I go, I also use my Samsung Galaxy S4 to make
photos. Yeah I know there are smartphones with better cameras, but mine works
without problems, so I don’t want to buy a new one. (^-^) (I’m a poor student, who
has to save money ^^;)
I’ve also
bought some lenses for my smartphone from TaoTronics (wide-angle, fisheye and
macro). I love the macro lens, even if you have to get really close. The
wide-angle is perfect for making selfies with more people. I use it quite often
to take selfies with my friends when we’re at the hockey stadium. Until now
I’ve only tested the fisheye lens a few times, but I’m also satisfied with the
results.
You can
find the link to the TaoTronic lenses I’ve bought in the Info page.
