“What’s the cure for camera agony of any sort? Just work. Shoot. Get interested in something. Take stock of what equipment you already have, and figure out what it can be used for. Go shoot. Get involved in the pictures. If your camera isn’t the last word in high ISOs, then find a little more light and shoot at lower ISOs. You’ll live. If your camera doesn’t have the best dynamic range, then avoid high-contrast scenes (there are scenes the A900 won’t handle, either). If your camera won’t print really, really big, then make your prints a little smaller. It won’t kill you, I promise. It ain’t the camera.” The Online Photographer: The Full-Frame Dilemma…and a Cure

“The sensor can’t change its sensitivity to match different sources of ambient light, but the software that interprets the sensor data either to make in-camera JPEGs or to develop RAW files on the computer can adapt.” The Online Photographer: White Balance, Part I: Accurate Color

“The most fun thing about being an amateur is that when you learn something, you get massive results - if you imagine ‘photography skills’ to be a scale from 1 to 1000, where 1 is a tadpole in your fishpond without much photographic skills to speak of, and 1,000 is, well, the photographer mentioned above, it will take you a few years to get from 1 to 500, and it’ll take you a lifetime of dedication, practice and study to make it from 500 to 750. The last few hundred? Well, never mind.” Creating your own photography blog by Photocritic
