One of the first questions any aspiring photographer will ask is “what camera should I buy”? This is usually followed by something like “don’t I need an expensive camera to take good photographs”?
Well the answer to the first question is probably best answered after answering the second question; which is No you do not need an expensive camera to take good photographs. If you are new to photography it’s far more important to learn some basic rules, after all, you can’t get creative and bend them if you don’t know them in the first place.
Anyway back to the question of what camera you should buy and how expensive it should be. Most of you probably already own a camera of some sort whether it’s a small point and shoot or even a camera built in to your phone; which brings me to the point of this article. There is a whole movement around iPhone photography at the moment, a phone that is regarded as having a particularly poor camera by any standard. However given the large number of high quality photography apps for iOS, users now have more ways than ever before to capture and edit images. Some of the best photography apps do one thing only but do it well. Thus, users often use multiple apps to process a single image. For example a user might take a picture using an HDR camera app, apply some effects using a second app, then crop it and add a nifty border in a third app, and finally share the image using the latest social-networking app.
The following link gives some excellent examples of stunning iPhone photography and proof that you don’t need a dedicated camera to get started.
