Exploring in Canon

As you know I was a Nikon user >20 years ago during film era. Switching to Canon about 3 years. In fact there is nothing to compare about , camera is still a camera, no matter what brands, its needed skill and experience to take a good photograph. I used 5D, 10D,20D,30D,40D, 60D, 1000D,550D and now 500D. I used prime and zoom lenses from 15mm to 300mm of all brands. Finally still no ending yet ! As I said all tools without real skill and experience its still cannot produced good result.
Thats why I go back to basic to experience the entry level feel of photography.Its to adjust my mindset toward my photography philosophy and the art of digital in latest technology.
500D is not comfortable in my hand initially, now I still trying to get used to it …in fact handling I still prefer with 2 dials. However I may get 60D again soon. I like the latest technology even its just an entry level camera,as compare to the 5D which is 2005 model . In term of the WB, exposure accuracy and especially with ETTL Flash system. Now I only edit every minimum in post job.
Recently I uses UWA lens and fisheye, I think it’s for landscape more than group of peoples photography. For portrait with special effect is good but for commercial shooting like event, wedding ,party….it not advisable, because when there are somebody at the edge or corner the size will double up(distortion) thus it will present very ugly and will get rejected. Of course you can correct it in software but it take your valuable times.
I did many paid job for shooting event, wedding and private photo-shoot recently. Nowadays there are many 'competitors' who came from everywhere to ‘cari makan’ and the prices they charges are relatively low or very low. In positive point of view its a good sign , as more peoples will appreciate quality of production. So those pro or freelance photographers like me need to upgrade their skill and must always look for new tactics in photography to win more customers.
