The Most Popular MLI Reader's Question: What Camera Do I Use?

 I have been very vocal over the fact that I AM NOT A WRITER. I aint good like other bloggers who write like a magazine editor. Also, I blame lawschool and my profession for my writing style. I was accustomed in writing brief, concise and straight to the point pleadings that a grade 2 student should understand. Hence, the lack of creativity in the way I write. Thus, I try to compensate my lack of writing creativity with pictures. I am very passionate in taking pictures for my blog. I could go on for hours, the average photos I take for a blog post could reach a hundred. Yes. I take and retake shots until I get the perfect shot. It is not being meticulous or OC, rather, I call it loving your craft. I love to give my readers photos that showcase the true color and size of a product. Yes. I edit my pictures. Why? It is very hard to capture the true color of a product through an image. I do not think it is cheating. It is being real with colors. I use photoescape not photoshop. I would love to learn photoshop as in!!!!!! I have been plagued with this question by my readers ever since I started blogging. Before, I honestly do not like to share the camera that I use. Well, for me it is akin to spilling a trade secret. Over the past years, I have realized that other bloggers may have the same camera or lens like I do but the manner of taking pictures is a different story. It all boils down to style and  technique.

I think the proper question that my readers should ask is:
What cameraS do you use?

Yes. I am using  two cameras.

Before, I use a Sony H70. I am pretty satisfied with it. Until it got burned last Christmas together with my whole house. I was debating with myself if I should get a new micro lens or a digicam. I chose a digicam instead. The new digicam I am using is this SONY CYBERSHOT HX30V. This camera has   a lot of  features that you can play around. This is my all around camera and I can live with this.
When I got this Nikon D5100 as a gift,, I thought this is the answer to all my dilemma. Not knowing that I would encounter more dilemmas in using a dslr for blogging. I am not a photographer and I have a hard time choosing the right lens. The clarity of dslr pictures is incomparable.  That's why I still plan on getting new lens in the future.

If you would ask me what camera do I sue in product shots etc. I can not specifically tell because it depends on my mood and lighting on the camera  I use. 
 Do I use photobox or lightbox? NO!

I answered this before. I only use a white folder like this:
No artificial light just natural lighting.

However I do plan on getting a light box. This is one of the photos I took with my light box. I asked for a light box during our Office Christmas Party as a whislist. I got to use the light box once!! Yes just once then it got burned at the tragedy.

This is the photo I took with the light box. 
That's it. :))

Godbless everyone!!

  1. Great post Donna! :) I am actually planning on getting a DSLR too but thinking of purchasing the separate lenses just gives me headaches LOL but I think it depends on the person that is taking a picture on how great you are at taking pictures and you don't really need to buy a lot of gadgets to get a great shot :) I actually get a lot of compliments when I take pictures with my nintendo 3ds cam or my Canon A490 cam because of its great quality ^^,

    Much Love
