>>4339847op you can feel free to ignore this guy. if you only want to imitate well established techniques that no longer produce anything interesting, sure, but photography isnt static and current artists are using new tech.
>you dont need it for..>street!Wide angle zone focus is a specific look. This look is overused and dull. Forget it.
>landscapeLandscapes are the genre most plagued with uncreativity. Boomers go on organized trips where they all take the same photo with their required $100000 9-18mm f1.0 lens. Whatever you've read about landscape photography, simply don't do any of that, the world has had enough of the windows XP wallpaper genre.
>macroThis genre was once impressive and made it into the MoMA. Today, it is drab wikipedia ID pics, and its certainly not the only thing you'll ever do.
>portraitureCarefully posed portraits have a look and this look is increasingly passed over because people are tired of it. Today's portrait photographers are relying on autofocus to achieve photos that would have been difficult wastes of film in years prior. Do you want to imitate sears family portrait studio forever? No. No one does.
>bird/sport/eventThese genres are fun, faggot. Posers really hate them because they are into photography to "git gud". Think of them as people looking for a sport to play. But they suck at real sports so they bring their measured performance, play-by-the-rules attitude to art. They measure the art-ness and therefore your "score" in this thing they want to be a sport by the "intent" aka prep work, more prep work aka "intent" higher "art" score. This isn't how art actually works. Shoot birds, sports, and events, get your decisive moments and be creative on the go. Take interesting photos at just the right moment. Make prepwork=realwork fags seethe because art is about the feeling, not who scores the most "artistic intent points".
And most importantly photography is about having fun.
Also a canon RP/R8 is dirt cheap lmao
