My first shot (with purpose)
This is the very first shot I did with the purpose of “taking a photo”. I didn’t actually know how to control the camera. So, instead of spend my time reading the manual, I decided to try the camera into the wild. Learn-by-doing has always been tough in the world of pictures since the cost (in both, time and money) of improving eye and technique was huge (countless wasted rolls, month spent waiting for the negatives to come back from the lab…) Going digital eases the process of understanding how to shoot properly, but admittedly with a huge price to pay: way too much “photographer” around the world…

Thus, the whole mood of the comment was inspired by the suggestion coming from a soldier that crosses the calles’ of Venice. There is a small problem, though: the man portrayed in the photo is a chief petty officer – Capo di prima classe (you can guess it by the three-striped patch on is shoulder) and…

A new camera and the quest for the missed information
Convinced by the hype raised by the review of a well known camera review website I purchased a bridge camera (the brand doesn’t matter), just to be surprised and disappointed at the same time. The surprise came out when I discovered that the this camera comes – as standard – with a lens hood, does mount filters and has a remote trigger socket. None of these very important issues were addressed in the review I went through seeking advice and that, as always, focused on image quality, body and functionality, sensor performance etc. etc. Another “non significant” issue has been casually set apart by this review: the 12Mpixel resolution on…
