I’m not a photographer, nor do I have fancy equipment; I admire those that have a great eye for it! I occasionally post content I’m proud of over on my instagram.

Within the last week, I whipped out an old camera of mine. I wanted to see if myself and my instagram followers could even tell the difference between my Iphone camera quality and my camera. Spoiler alert, they could tell.
Since then, I’ve been trying to use my camera for more of the photos I’m taking stuck home in quarantine. The camera I’m using that I got maybe 3-4 years ago…. is the Nikon COOLPIX L830 16 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 34x Zoom NIKKOR Lens and Full 1080p HD Video (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer).
I also don’t really use any equipment other than my tripod (which I 10/10 recommend as it comes with the bluetooth remote & also an attachment to use for your Iphone).
It’s super easy to use and it was super reasonable. Anyway, other than that I don’t use any equipment as I’m just starting to figure it all out.

Any tips? Lets chat!
Mainly, what prompted this, was wanting to create better quality photos for brands and other products that I love. For example, this post where I talk about my favorites, I hope in the future to provide better quality photos to go along with it. What’s funny is when I first started this blog over two years ago, from the start I chose to use my camera to get better quality photos. For example, this post where I talk about some of my travel packing essentials.


Anyway, kind of a mini blog post here. Get excited for the better quality content to come.
As always, thanks for reading. I’ve been appreciating all the support so much.
Lots of love,

Using real photo camera and capturing images is always so exciting. I’m glad to hear you decided to give it a go 😊 best of luck with learning and experimenting with photography! Aiva 😊

I have always used my iPhone for my photos and I don’t think they will ever be as great as those captured in a real camera! Best of luck with photography! ❤️✨

Im a photographer too. I dont have $ for super fancy equipment. I use a canon mirrorless m50 with the kit lens. I really want a better wide angle zoom lens and a macro. I have a fairly strong cell camera that takes manual photos. That helps. But i prefer to shoot in RAW.

I use my Samsung Galaxy, point&shoot and DSLR cameras for different posts. There may be slight differences. With technology advancement, most cellphones can take really good photos. xx
