Point and shoot tips from the old masters

Ryan Brenizer's Amazon Blog: Point and shoot tips from the old masters Permalink: "When you're just starting out as a photography enthusiast, life doesn't seem fair. Many of the pictures you admire were taken by people not only with a lot more experience, but with equipment you couldn't come close to affording. They've got incredibly light sensitive cameras like the Nikon D3 and Canon 5D Mark II. They've got f/1.4 lenses that can turn night into day and let photographers focus on only the details they want, throwing unwanted backgrounds into blurriness. With a point-and-shoot, you have the limitations of poor light sensitivity, no depth-of-field control, slow frame rates, limited flash control, etc. Someone with expensive equipment could be standing next to you in and indoor event getting great shots while yours are a blurry, muddy mess. You can only learn so much from people who frequently work in ways that are impossible for you. What if there were truly masterful photographers who worked with cameras with all the limitations of yours and more? Couldn't they be role models?"
