Chapter 9. EQUIPMENT FOR THE CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER
Considering a Camera Upgrade
Using Interchangeable Lenses
Looking Inside Your Camera Bag
Although the emphasis throughout this book has been that equipment and technology are secondary to making your images of children it is helpful to have a starting point when purchasing expensive equipment. There are so many equipment options available; where do you start? The choices and preferences are personal and change a bit from photographer to photographer; making your own decisions depends on your needs, your level of experience, your budget, and even your brand preferences.
If you are entering into the field of photography right now, consider yourself fortunate in that you haven't had to ride the waves of early digital technology. It's been a very expensive ride, and you are now at a point where the learning curve has greatly diminished.
CONSIDERING A CAMERA UPGRADE
Consider that updates, upgrades, and new products hit the market on a daily basis. What is perfectly suited for you today could change on a moment's notice. If you are in the market for some new equipment or are just interested in learning what's out there, do your research first. Here are a few Web sites that might aid you in your camera and post-production research:
