It has been some time I honed my photography skills with my decades old Minolta. The 'reel' DSLR was a boon in my earlier photography days but has become bit inconvenient with modern photo taking tools. It will look very out of place to carry about a really old 'reeled' camera today when the younger gentry flaunt compact cameras and use sophisticated phones to shoot their subjects. The question arises – do you actually need a state-of-the-art sophisticated DSLR to hone your photography skills? While some may not agree to my findings, but I find my gifted Nikon compact Coolpix a great tool to prepare for the final sessions.

Some Basics –
Before you do settle down for a DSLR, it is important to know the essentials of photo taking. You cannot expect to buy a $500 food processor and expect to become a master chef overnight, do you? Similarly, a good amount of time spent with any camera (preferably digital) is the perfect recipe to hone your photography skills. Here are certain findings made by me for practicing photography:
1. Reel cameras for practicing your shoots are definitely a no-no. You cannot expect to waste a lot of money on rolls, processing, etc.
2. If you have a compact digital camera, continue your efforts with it for the time being. Once you have mastered the basic tool, you may go ahead with a DSLR.
3. Study your object before taking the picture. Also, multiple shots are good for zeroing-down on one final picture.
4. Experiment with different lighting conditions on your subject. You cannot expect similar results in low-light and sunlight backgrounds for your subject.

Small is convenient but bigger is better!
After you acquire your new DSLR, make sure to carry enough battery packs and memory cards for your practice sessions. I have not bought my own new DSLR yet but found my cousin's Canon a bit heavy and cumbersome as opposed to the Minolta and Coolpix. Okay, I am not comparing both my tools, but just hinting on the maneuverability of two different cameras. I occasionally use my cousin's EOS 700D with a variety of VR lenses and have a long way to scrape enough dough to afford one of my own.
So you see, it does not matter much which camera you utilize for churning up the most beautiful shots of the scenic vista. I carry my compact everywhere and use the age-old Minolta on special occasions. The best way of photography is to make full use of your existing elements and go in for top gadgets once you are fully competent. A complete course or guidebooks can also help (as they do to me!) in pursuit for the best shots possible. Stay tuned for more action!
