I remember hearing in a workshop that when one's "voice" or style is developed, it can be recognized quickly. For example, if when images are displayed in a room, another person would immediately know the photographer who made it because of the subject matter and methods of shooting that differentiates and defines that particular artist. For example, if one's voice is nature/birds, their images would have elements in it that are unique to that particular photographer. Another word of advice I recently heard is shoot what you love. That's why sport lovers, for example, can make great sport photographers or people who love birds/nature make great bird photographers. I hope this explanation was clear! Thanks for the thought provoking question.
THANK YOU ALL for your welcoming comments!
Thank you for your knowledgeable advice. I will certainly research the 80D. The 6d lowlight feature is appealing and also the 1 precision cross type focusing point, as well as simplicity of use. However, I can use all my lenses with the 80D and from what I remember, the video capability is appealing.
I also like to take pet photos and landscape shots.....which the articulating screen on the 80d would be advantageous. Decisions, decisions.
I am learning so much from this site and look forward to new posts everyday. I began learning photography 3 years ago using a Canon t3i. I have 4 grandchildren so they have been my real life models! I would love to upgrade to a 6D. Anyone have any experience with this camera? Thank you!
