i haz cool DSLR peoplez!! (sarcastic)



Well if you have been well aware of your surrounding, and if you happen to live among teenagers, then you must have notice the ever increasing amount of people with DSLR. I look at it as a trend now. Really. and not so pleasing one. So why is this happening? Be aware this is not an report of any kind. hehe.



Necessity

As far as I can see, most of people, they don't have a single clue on why they wanted to buy a DSLR. If you want or plan to buy one, ask this question first. Do i need it? and for what? If you does not really have deep pocket sure you will lurk on the internet to see, which DLSR model suits your budget and from there most of you will realize on how to actually buy a DSLR. It is best to look out for tutorial or review on how to buy a DSLR rather than look out for the cheapest one and straight away buy it. Its all about the use of it, not the price although price could be an issue too.

Let me be honest, if you are going to take mostly your own photo and does not give a care on how the settings and you wanted to take video for fun, then feel free to just hit the store and get yourself a point and shoot camera. What is that? The digital camera la. that square thinggie.


better to stick with a digital camera for maximum camwhoring fun ^^

If you did care of how your photo looks, and you like to get creative with photo or video then probably it is best for you to get a DSLR as it gives more control of, almost everything. Oh since now most of new DSLR also offer Video recording it give the video people an opportunity to be more creative because unlike a normal camcoder, it is quite difficult to play with the focusing. But with DSLR, focusing and zooming could be a lot more easier.




Showing off?

Honestly this might hurt some people but i just need to say this. Do you think having DLSR make you looks cool? or even high standard? Lul. BS. From what i observe some people buy a DSLR just to show off. They don't have the necessity for it so why buy it? Don't BS me by saying you want to take full control of the settings because you just don't. Only when the light is out then you struggle to change the settings to some mode you can even spell right so that you can take a good picture. but oh wait, you pop the pop-up flash straight away do ya? Bad idea. (unless if you know to set the intensity then its okay.)



POP UP FLASH? D'OH






(Facebook profile pic). normal. (Facebook profile pic WITH DSLR). OMAIGOD COOLNESS.


I've seen those many times already. Yeah yeah I even did it myself, well many of the photographers also do the same thing. Why? Because photographer, unlike normal people they tend to have the least, sometimes none photo of them self under normal condition. Get me? That why most of the photographer take their own photo, well sometimes they ask help from another. and in the photography world, there are some that like to show off thier gears. And some like to poison them self by looking at other people gear and get jealous. Sometimes its good sometimes it does not. So showing off? Are you?


affordable?

If you look back in the old day, DSLR, (occay, there are no letter D in the term) SLR are only owns by the serious enthusiast such as journalist, reporter, and etc. There not quite many average people own it for its such price and it is not actually small. But nowadays, as the world is advancing, DSLR are a more affordable. With only RM1.7 K you can get a basic level DSLR, not like the old day when you need atleast 2 or 3 K to get one. and to normal people that is not really worth it. and before people hate the bulky size of it. Like my friend Amanina who mind you like to take picture of herself, she pretty much hate DSLR and she does not even understand why people shell out plenty sum of money for it. in the end of the day it the same photo. Well, i already try to explain to her, but i don't know if she buy it. And i don't think I should do a post on why DSLR are million times better than a p&s.

So cheaper DSLR so more people buying it?


or just PURE ARTS?

DSLR let you take full control of the lens aperture, the sensitivity of the sensor, the exposure and lots of other technical stuff. and by utilizing all this setting, people can expand their creativity. and for that reason why many serious enthusiast prefer to get hand on these big bulky monster to get their jobs done, easier and better. If you want to get creative, buying a DSLR is you best move.


Conclusion

I'm confused. really am confused. Someone that never into arts then suddenly interested on buying a DSLR. for what reason really? These what triggers me to make this post. Was it for fame? for name? or for fun? I don't know, people have their reason but no matter what the reason are, make sure it is a good choice. A choice that you will not regret. because if you do, you are just wasting your precious money. As for the future I hope only serious people own DSLR while the non-serious just play with your P&s camera will ya!?

If you know me well , when people ask question such as what DSLR he or she need to buy, i will always ask the purpose first, then the whole process of choosing going to be easier. I do encourage those who love to learn it. you don't need DSLR to learn, to me it is best to learn first the basic, get a camera and practice what you have learn. that is the best learning method :)

All and all, if you into photography, do continue! don't look at this post as a distraction. If you have interest then let it be. Explore, find opporutnities, who knows, there are great future in photography? Who knew? National Geographic someday? :)

and one more thing. Great camera makes a quality photo, great photographer makes a great photo. normal P&s also can shoot nice photo you know.

p/s: study week people. turn on the study mode. :)

hahahaha..bodo nye anonymous..ak rasa ko mesti perempuan..sbb tu penakut nk tunjukkn identiti..kalau ko jantan mesti ko line2 bacul, pondan, nyah, gayboy ke hape ke..kalau beran bak kuar la identiti tuh..

ape la..biarlah die nk ckp apee..
kita rakyat malaysia..ade hak nak bersuara..
bagi ak pun, kalau ade dslr tp xde reason yg kuat nk beli baik x yah beli..buang duit jek..

ko nak kate org tu artisitik ke x bukan hak ko anonymous oi..haha
hanya artist yg pandai menilai karya seseorang..ade org putih penah ckp bai, " can is ask u what is not art? "..kalau nak ikotkan sume benda ada nilai artistik die..
dr cara menulis, bercakap, makan dn tido..sume ade nilai arts yg tersendiri..haish..

kh~ ade org butthurt la nmpaknye..lek der..ak sokong pendapat ko tuh..don't make DSLR as a trend..sbb DSLR dicipta bukan untuk trend..:)


p/s: x pasal2 ade org butthurt ngn komen ak ni,hahahahaha..dedamn

amelin. said...

omg KH, nicely written. it has been awhile that I have the urge to comment on this so called phenomena of 'i-have-dslr-dude' but I kind of malas to write now. haha. tapi, its the truth woo, people nowadays own a dslr just because they want to look cool. i mean, if you just want to take normal pictures just own a compact digital camera. its more mobile and convenient and plus some even has mega pixel more than basic line dslr. and to those who bashes you, they are just having their time of the month, you know lah kan the pms thing. they are too emotional to take personal opinion as an insult. pity you man! and get a life lah, if you cant accept kh's word, dont bother reading his blog. hahaha.

Khairul said...

sorry to those who might hurt. it is the truth. i know its not my problem if people wanted to by anything but giving a small piece of advice won't hurt righT?

anonymous: aik. tak berkata kata dah? hehe

boyak: yup2. not a trend. sebab tu la ada banyak group kat fb cth, doesnt mean you have a DSLR you are a photographer.

hajar: thanks. sebenarnya dah lama nak tulis tapi feeling tak sampai lagi. hehehe

zulfarid said...

haha..betol kata hajar tuh..hee
ak pun nk tulis pasal benda tuh tp malas nak rangka ayat2 gramatis, puitis, melankolik pe sume tuh..
so kebetulan ko dh tulis so ak sokong jela..

hee..


p/s: ingat status fb ak hr tu "Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner..."

DSLR arini memang dicipta untuk trend pun, sebab tu ada 3 level;
entry,semi-pro & professional.
Entry level SLR wujud zaman 80 an lagi, ramai hobbyist dah pakai.

Entry level sememangnya dicipta untuk orang2 yang minat amik gambar yang berkualiti,tak semestinya perlu jadi fotografer. rasanya tak perlu la KH flame orang2 yang trendy ni beli dslr, mereka pun ada hak untuk memiliki & janganlah memandang rendah 'noob' dekat mereka2 yang post gambar dgn dslr kat facebook. Ramai lagi fotografer hebat-hebat suka bergambar dengan kamera mereka, ianya satu self-satisfaction untuk disharing. google saja nama fotografer2 yang selfless pun, pasti ada gambar mereka dengan kamera. David Noton pun camwhore pakai Canon 1D & Nikon F5 dia.

Kenapa kita perlu jelek & rasa tak senang dengan orang yg memiliki DSLR. Saya lebih suka kalau KH buat tutorial & sharing ilmu KH.

ak pkai ferrari, ak sorg racer dan owner, so what?

Khairul said...

faris: thanks untuk suggestion tutorial tu. maybe akan dipertimbangkan. hehe.

yup. memang ada 3 level. tapi 3 level ni dibuat untuk versetality pengguna. bukan semua pengguna mampu nak beli pro level DSLR yg harga macam kancil satu. dan DSLR, bukan bukan untuk trend. beginner level ni dibuat untuk yang minat photography tapi x ada banyak duit. company camera tak pernah anggap penjualan DSLR sebagai trend. manusia dan syarikat fesyen etc yang buatkan ia menjadi satu trend.

tentang ambil gambar di internet tu. kan dah tulis dlm post. pro pon ada buat jugak tapi compare to yang biasa2, diorang ambil gambar dengan ilmu photography mereka. dan ambil gmbr sendiri memang dah jadi normal untuk photographer. rujuk balik post.

Khairul said...

anonymous: emosi. sape cakap ak tak puas hati? this is argument my friend. nak kontek ko buat apa? buang masa ak ada la. bgus ko bagi email smua. tapi ko ingat masa ak berharga nak kontek ko? semata mata nak gado? noob.

test: err. apa kaitan ferrari kat sini. tolong jangan komen merapu leh :)
