The perks and unpleasantries of owning a DSLR (my views and observations..)

1.Hey I just bought a Nikon.I will now justify my decision to every other canon user.

Bought a new camera?You are now a part of  Team Canon or Team Nikon.Ironically both are Greek words that mean "to rule" and "victory" respectively.Well,whatever you choose you know you're in good company (Nikon users ;) ).

  Both parties rising above hate?Now that would be a Kodak moment.

2.Want to hear a joke?A career in photography.

            Honestly,the only way you are earning money is by selling your equipment..What with the lenses being really expensive and  the need to update your gear,you're in for life.Might as well have a photography page or watermark your images "myname mysurname Photography".Admit it,you're in the constant hope of suing someone.soon.

3.I am a computer science student.Let me make some object oriented programming references.

"what you know and can do" is the tip of the iceberg of "what can be done"..and the more time you invest the more surprises you seem to get.However explaining it to a person who doesn't know anything about it becomes quite a task for you..and the end result maybe 

"Push button ,camera go click ok?"

You however communicate easily with fellow photographers ..of the same class..

Photographing a kid on the road.

Person 1:Kitna diya?

person 2:ISO 200     .tune?

4.What is the best mode to capture the best moments of your life?

Camera off mode.

Live the moment mode on.

5.Great pictures can be taken in the darkest of times if one remembers to turn on the light.

Light is a photographer's best friend,You analyse it,measure it,manipulate it,play with it and sometimes fool the camera into thinking there is more than there actually is.Thanks to your DSLR you can now take outstanding pictures in any situation and adjust your shot respective of your surroundings.

 To quote Dumbledore,We have both light and dark with us.Your shot depends on the part you choose to action.

     Bad lighting?Don't worry ,there is light at the end of the tunnel.

6.Game of tag

   You are missing in most pictures and tagged in all.

-> Selftimed YES I WAS THERE TOO picture,

  Every self timed picture tells a story.So get your ass in line and be captured.Also it saves that awkward moment when you have to ask a random person to take a picture which you're definitely not comfortable doing.

  Hey there can you please take a picture of us.WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING THAT STRAP AROUND YOUR NECK..sorry i panicked.

7.Let me send you pictures I clicked via whatsapp and go die because I'm a complete idiot.

People who  send pictures taken on a dslr via whatsapp have a special place reserved in hell for them.I mean seriously,what is the point?To modify Don King's quote "One should go for the quality of the performance,and not the longevity of it".If you know what i mean.

8.At a function or an event-

le us-"Oh my God..look at that.How cool is that.Can we get a closer view?That is what I want in my life."

person 2:Yeah she's cute :)

le us-No you idiot..the photographer's camera..look at that beauty..That baby would one day be mine..That is a piece of  class..did you see that..Hey where'd you go??

yeah happens.

9."Hey lets click a cover photo"

  Been there.Heard that

          In a world where we click pictures for Facebook,you'd hear people say stuff like that.

Make that your profile picture..People mean it a compliment honestly.This is an insta-click insta-upload society.

  Keep away from social media.and the likes.

10.Buying a DSLR makes you a proud DSLR owner,not a photographer.Love life,observe..

The simplest things are the most extraordinary.Be wise enough to see them.Befriend your camera.The only thing coming in between you are your own limitations.

Capture what you see and tell a story :)
