Our Cameras

I've always been a big proponent of the age-old adage, "The best camera in the world is the one that you have; you just need to know how to use it!" As in Kung-Fu Panda, Po finally realized, "There's no 'Dragon Scroll'; it's just you," I genuinely believe it's not about the gear. If you possess good composition skills, have a fair understanding of optics and know the settings of your camera and use it well, you will be surprised to see the kind of miracles you can do with your existing gear. However, it's also true that every gear has a technical limitation and it's never too bad to keep upgrading. So, based on your requests, today I'm going to share my perspective on the camera models we've been using over the past years and which one to choose in what scenario. I hope it helps you in making your choice!

Our Lenses and Filters

Among all the components in a camera system, I think the two most important components that directly impact image quality are the lens and sensor. The rest of the features in the camera body are just facilitators that help us capture the image appropriately but don’t directly affect the quality of the captured image. And to be honest, in this era, there are so many camera bodies from so many different manufacturers being sold in the market with different sensor qualities, features, and ergonomics, but camera bodies within the same sensor category roughly perform the same, with some subtle differences here and there. It is the glass that makes the most significant difference in the image quality. And that’s why it’s crucial to choose the right lens for your camera or style of photography.

Our Photography Accessories

Photography accessories are as essential as the actual gear. They complement the gear and facilitate the photography process. But with so many options out there in the market, it is imperative to choose only the accessories that fit your needs to keep the setup and the spending minimal. Over the past years, I’ve used many half and full-frame sensor accessories like tripods, lens filters, flashes, microphones, and other pieces of equipment. Based on my experience, I’ve now narrowed my gear down to a rather minimalistic setup that works for me. So today, I’m going to share my perspective on the photography accessories we’ve been using over the past years and which one to choose in what scenario. I hope it helps you in making your choice!

Our Post-Processing Tools

Our readers often ask us about our post-processing workflow and the tools that we use for photo/video editing. Speaking of photo post-processing, years back, when I started my photography journey, from the first day, I was keen to extract the most out of my images, but I knew I was missing something and I also knew what it was. But I was too scared to admit it. I trembled at even the thought of entering the dark and scary den of the monster. But then, one day, I decided to meet the monster head-on. When I did, I found that it wasn’t as scary or dangerous as I had thought. That day everything changed!

Our Website Building Tools

Our readers often ask us about the tools that we use for building and maintaining our website. To be honest, I look at our website as an exhibition of our work to our audience. I also look at it as a platform to share our stories and a channel to communicate our thoughts with our readers. And I firmly believe that the more intuitively designed the platform and the easier it is to understand and navigate, the simpler it is to get the message across.
