I have recently been shooting a lot with small point and shoot 35mm cameras. Whilst this has been fun I have been forgoing control of my images in the way I wanted. I wasn't too pleased with the results I was getting with my Mju ii so I picked up my canon 500N put my sigma 30mm 1.4 art on and headed out. Shooting like this was quite emancipating and relaxing. I had more control over my images which made me think about them more. Whilst shooting I was more aware of everything in the frame of my viewfinder, the focusing and size of the camera slowed me and my process down where before all I needed to do was push the shutter. This time my spacial awareness, looking at backgrounds, placement of the subject, leading lines, framing rules, subject expression and if the image would be appealing. I am happy with the images and the control I had over creating them. I think this allowed me to shoot images that were more in line with what I wanted rather than leaving focus or exposure to chance with automatic systems. please look at the images and let me know what you think.
