Photographs. }Monday, November 21, 2011

Was going through some of the folders in my laptop and found a few photographs I took using my Dad's Nikon DSLR. I really love my Dad's DSLR but the main issue is that it's heavy. My neck becomes sore after hanging it over my neck for hours. But other than that, I love DSLRs. Initially Dad uses Canon's DSLR but switched to Nikon. He didn't tell me the reason but I think maybe because Nikon DSLRs are better for shootings with flash. So I did a little research on the reasons people would choose a Nikon DSLR over a Canon DSLR and here's what I found.


I will state one personal difference that I have found working with these cameras: if you are interested (now or in the future) of taking a lot of photos using flash instead of natural light, then go with Nikon.
Nikon has done a great deal of work to ensure that their cameras communicate well with their flashes - something Nikon calls the "Creative Lighting System" or CLS for short.
With relatively little fussing, you can quickly set up three independent wireless light sources, and you're able to control the amount of light output from each flash directly from the camera.
While you can certainly achieve the same effects with a Canon digital SLR it takes more gear, costs more and doesn't have quite the same plug-and-play simplicity of the Nikon system.

Yeap, so here are just 2 of the reasons people would choose Nikon cameras over Canon's. Okay, enough of the comparison between the two camera brands and time to showcase some of the photos I took! 






The two photos from the top are taken using my Dad's Nikon DSLR and the last 3 photos are taken using my iPhone 4, which explains the difference in the quality of the photos. No matter how much Apple is going to improve on their camera's specs, the photos taken using an iPhone will never surpass the quality of photos taken using a DSLR. 

Alright, will take more photos in the future to improve my photo-taking and Photoshop skills. Goodbye and peace out!
