I know we all ask this question in the beginning but do not really know the answer until it is too late. Maybe 10k later and the question has yet to be answered. There is always a new lens, a new camera, a new light modifier etc…. Especially if you want to make some money from your hobby, the expenses will never end. I am definitely learning it the hard way. I’ve said to myself that from this point on, I will not spend anymore of my money on photography. The plan was to have the hobby pay for itself. That hasn’t happened as of yet. I hope that will soon change.

So if you think all you need is a digital SLR body and a lens, you are sadly mistaken. I assure you, the list of expenses will not end.





About the Author

Lawrence
As a weekend photographer, I found myself with limited time and limited resources in terms of expanding my photographic ability due to my career. Like many weekend photography warriors, there are only 2 hours on the weekdays and maybe 8 hours or so total on the weekend to learn and grow. These time constraints is what motivated me into creating this online photography resource. I needed a photography hub where all the information I referred to is stored in one easy to navigate online location. I see this more of my online repository of photography information gathered through time. I am very proud of the success of my blog offering of "Photographer Interview Series". You will read in-depth interviews from the photography world's famous photographers. Names like David Tejada, Nick Onken, Michael Grecco and David Bean to name a few. The interview series has also expanded to include weekend photographers and now wedding photographers with the similar goal of learning from each other. My goal is to evolve this site to be the premier go to resource for photographer interviews and equipment reviews.

    Photography is about finding the appropriate light and shadows and compose a great picture. It is not the camera, it is the photographer. I know great photographers that understand the science of capturing light without using the most expensive equipment.
