-** Why Photography?
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: why-photography
-:END:
-I've often wondered why photography is as enticing as it is. You can see
-billions of people around the world taking photographs every single
-moment of the day. New technology often boasts about their photographic
-capabilities, especially smartphones. I would even assume that we live
-in a world where there is never a moment in which a photograph is not
-being taken somewhere on Earth.
-
-As for myself, I would simply say that I enjoy preserving a memory in
-physical (or digital) form. I've never had the best memory when it comes
-to recalling details of places and people gone by, so it helps to have a
-frame of reference lying around.
-
-Regardless of the reason, I think most people would agree that you
-simply cannot have too many hobbies.
-
-** Older Cameras
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: older-cameras
-:END:
-I started playing around with the idea of photography when my family
-purchased a Fujifilm camera for family-specific events. I don't recall
-the specific model, but I do recall it was a point-and-shoot camera
-without an interchangeable lens. However, it was of great value to
-someone, like myself, who couldn't afford any other camera. I took about
-10,000 shots with that camera over a 3-5 year span. Most notably, all of
-my trips to California were documented through this camera.
-
-When possible, I would borrow my sister's camera, which is a Sony
-SLT-A58. This camera was great and allowed for some of my best early
-shots, especially those taken in Utah's and Nevada's parks.
-
-** My Current Kit
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: my-current-kit
-:END:
-I've finally come to a point in my life where I have the disposable
-income to invest in a solid photography kit. I played around with the
-idea of a lot of different cameras, different types, new vs used, etc.
-Finally, I settled on the
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_%CE%B17_III][Sony α7 III]]. This
-camera is mirror-less and uses a full-frame image sensor at 24
-megapixels. I don't create large prints, and I am mostly focused on
-preserving memories in high quality for the next 5-10 years with this
-camera, so the specifications here are just perfect for me.
-
-For lenses, I decided to buy two lenses that could carry me through most
-situations:
-

-  T* FE 24-70 mm F4 ZA OSS]]
-- [[https://www.tamron-usa.com/product/lenses/a047.html][Tamron 70-300mm
-  f4.5-6.3 Di III RXD]]
-
-In addition, I grabbed a couple
-[[https://www.promaster.com/Product/6725][HGX Prime 67mm]] protection
-filters for the lenses.
-
-As I delve further into photography and pick up more skills, I will most
-likely go back and grab a lens with a higher f-stop value, such as
-f/1.8. I toyed with the idea of grabbing a 50 mm at =f/1.8=, but decided
-to keep things in a reasonable price range instead.
-
-Finally, I made sure to buy a photography-specific backpack with a rain
-guard, and the zipper on the back panel, to protect the equipment while
-wearing the bag. If you've ever had to haul around a DSLR (or camera of
-similar heft) in a bag that only has a shoulder strap, you'll know the
-pain it can cause. Putting all my equipment in a backpack was an easy
-decision.
