This blog post was previously shared on my old website back in February 2020, with a different provider some time ago. Unfortunately, I ended up losing all my previous content, but here it is now for you to enjoy once more. Additionally, I have created a video on YouTube related to this topic, which you can find at the end of this post or by simply clicking on the accompanying picture.

I have never had the opportunity to attend a Photography School. Therefore, my learning journey has been predominantly self-guided, drawing knowledge from books, DVDs, and online resources obtained from various sellers, with a significant portion coming from Amazon UK. Despite the absence of formal education, my passion for photography remains unbounded, motivating me to delve deeper into this enchanting domain for self-improvement. Together, let's delve into this realm and discover the countless possibilities that the fascinating world of photography holds. Let's embark on this thrilling voyage of self-exploration and artistic expression! Let's embrace this creative journey with open hearts and minds as we immerse ourselves in the captivating wonders of photography.

As-Salamu-Alaykum! I hope this Blog finds you well and in good health by the grace of Allahtaala! How have you been lately? I trust that you have been enjoying some peaceful moments amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

For those who are just beginning to delve into the content on my website and YouTube channel, I want to extend a warm welcome to you! Whether you are starting on a journey of exploration or have been following along for some time, I want to express my gratitude for your presence. Your ongoing support is incredibly valuable to me, and I am genuinely thankful for your participation in this journey of transforming dreams into tangible achievements. Your involvement contributes to the strength of our wonderful community, and I am filled with appreciation for it.

Before I explore further into the captivating subject at hand, I want to stress the independence I uphold from any associations or financial contracts with the creators, vendors, or items mentioned in this discussion. The priceless expertise and abilities I have honed, such as the craft of taking manual pictures and perfecting the utilisation of flash in daytime environments, have been immensely advantageous to me. I am sincerely thankful for the encouragement and assistance provided to me by these individuals.

Let's start talking about Embracing the Journey of Creativity and Passion towards a Meaningful Future. How can we turn our aspirations into reality and make our dreams come true? Join me on this exciting adventure of exploration and discovery. Let's inspire each other to reach new heights and achieve our goals together!:

  • What Camera you should get?

  • What types of Lenses you should consider?

  • What types of Tripods/Lights/Flashes you really want?

To be completely truthful with you, I must admit that I once held similar thoughts and invested a significant amount of money in pursuit of the perfect equipment. Despite this, I still find myself unable to pinpoint the exact tools I require. The truth of the matter is that the sheer abundance of options and brands in the market makes it nearly impossible to fulfil all of one's requirements. The task of wading through the vast array of choices present in today's market can often feel daunting and overwhelming. However, I believe that with patience and research, the ideal tools that resonate with your needs will eventually reveal themselves amidst the sea of options.

If someone inquires about which Camera/Lens/Gears to invest in, I suggest reflecting on the aforementioned questions! It's crucial to weigh this decision carefully, as you could potentially invest a significant amount of money and time in equipment that might become obsolete within a short period. To aid you in making well-informed choices, I recommend delving into the book named "Tony Northrup’s Photography Buying Guide." This comprehensive guide includes approximately 20 hours of video content (unless there have been updates since my purchase) to offer invaluable insights on selecting the appropriate camera body, lenses, flash, tripod, and more. Accessing these resources (books & video guide) is simple through the provided links below. Take a moment to explore these valuable tools if you are truly dedicated to honing your photography skills—it will undoubtedly be a worthwhile investment of your time and dedication.

Purchasing this guide can significantly elevate your DSLR journey, no matter your proficiency level. Believe me, the advantages it provides are truly priceless and unquestionably a worthwhile investment.

Then I would highly recommend you to explore this incredible and comprehensively detailed book titled "How to Create Stunning Digital Photography" by Tony Northrup.
