Not all to long ago I was debating with myself if I should get a new camera. I was looking for something new to learn and a way to leave the house and office more frequently. I bought myself the Canon EOS 2000D DSLR and a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens. I signed up to a RSPB resort membership and started using their Photo-hide. Soon enough, I realised that I outgrew the settings of my 2000D and started to look into more complex models. I read a lot of reviews (as you do), and narrowed my search down to the Canon EOS 80D. I cannot describe the childlike joy and fascination I portrayed, when I received my new 80D. The possibilities seemed endless to me. I upgraded my lens shortly after, as I wanted to capture long distance shoots. I looked up reviews and decided to get myself the Sigma 150-600 mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary C. Up until today I have no regrets in my investment and research. I could have maybe gone with Tamron, but here I simply stop and say, everyone to their own budget.
I started to enjoy wildlife Photography now even more and developed my techniques and learned a lot about my new setup.
It was only shortly after I published my first pictures, that a friend of mine asked me if I did’t want to consider photography as profession. naturally I love arts and grew up playing several instruments, done drawing and painting and writing before, but I simply answered “No”. I did not think that I would enjoy photography as much over time.
Over the upcoming months I had a chance to take pictures of friends, family and also build up a group of clients. Slowly I started to realise that I was already running a business and that I enjoyed it far to much to stop now.
What will the future look like:
