Pursuing My Passion For Photography (Saving My Blogging Earnings For DSLR Camera)

Based on my articles with attached photographs, you probably noticed that one of my passions is photography, a certified Photophile at its finest! Before, only my eyes were my best camera, and I was just satisfied looking at beautiful spots even without taking photos. I just let my eyes wander along with my feet because I am more after the relaxation I could get when I'm at the place I love to visit.

Later on, when I started blogging, my interest in photography developed. With the use of my mobile phone, I started clicking my phone to take photos of beautiful spots in cities.

As well as the best tourist spots in the country.

At night is the best time for me to get the best shot, as the shining moon and glimmering lights are stunning and worth capturing.

Even the trees by the streets, fallen leaves, and blooming flowers are perfect for photographs.

As I stepped out of the city and visited green spaces of nature, I realized that photography isn't complete without beautiful natural landscapes in my gallery.

I became fond of capturing the amazing beauty of nature and my keenness for photography grew.

May it be on top of a mountain or under the ocean, I just can't keep myself from taking beautiful photographs.

However, there are instances when I doubted my skills and I felt like I wasn't good enough yet. That's when satisfaction was not able to meet due to some factors and natural elements that ruined my photography.

Oftentimes, I would tell myself, "photographs should have been better if only I had a better camera." I truly love to capture perfectly the beautiful sunset from our kitchen, as well as other beautiful spots despite the gloomy weather. And I guess I could only make it using a better camera.

Every time we hike a mountain and see people holding their best cameras, I feel like I wanted to have one as well so I could pursue my passion for photography. That's when I yearn to buy a DSLR camera.

My travel buddy even encouraged me to buy one, not just for capturing beautiful spots, but as a gift for myself as well. Besides, the photographs are something to be treasured that portrays beautiful memories. And I realized that I never buy something expensive for myself yet, aside from my phone. (For me, it is.)

I've been searching for a good quality camera that I can afford to buy and I could say that my one month salary is enough to buy a good one. Yet, my salary is for my family so I certainly can't use it to buy a camera.

My income in blogging is my other option aside from crypto assets. While checking my earnings on HIVE, I have some Hive Dollar staked on the platform and that would give more or less HK$2,000 if I would convert them to Hong Kong dollars. I don't want to spend my HIVE tokens and HP as I am saving them for future purposes. Besides, I don't want to see 0 HP in my account.

Meanwhile, here on reach.cash, as of this time of writing, I already earned more than half BCH worth more than a hundred dollars since the price dropped following BTC's. If I will combine both Hive and readcash earnings, that's enough to buy a good camera. However, the crypto market is down and certainly not a perfect time to sell some assets.

I would probably save my April blogging earnings from these two platforms, and sell them once the market recovers. And hopefully, it would happen soon after its bloody episodes.

Honestly, I don't like buying something expensive for myself as I only want simple and affordable things. But it isn't bad to reward myself once in a while. I guess I deserve it? Besides, it's for my passion.

After writing this content, a question suddenly came to my mind, "why not buy a new phone with a better camera?" This actually makes sense as a new phone could also give me a better user experience while taking better photos.

What do you think about this? Camera or new phone?

Thanks for the answer.

I bought myself a new phone with a brilliant camera, rather than a camera because I really needed a new phone. Your photography is absolutely stunning! I would go with whatever your heart feels would be best for you 🌺

I do have a friend named Ceddy Mesina, he is a blogger first, started with a bland android camera, and I didn't hear anything from him after our interaction on YouTube, but when I checked him later on, he built a photography team and getting more and more customer such as weddings.

They specialize in air photography (Like a floating camera lol), but all I want to say is that keep grinding woman, anything is a cone from hard work, and hard work is always equal to success, wishing you to get that DSLR soon!

I will suggest you go for a quality camera that will last longer because if you would get a new phone, I am made to know that phone´s camera usually dim when it has been used for long. It would be nice to spend expensively on yourself. At least, it´s once in a while thing. Since you have a passion for blogging, you can go for camera just like Tengolotodo did.

Your photos are always amazing Ate Jane and I think you can push it further with a DSLR camera. My roommate in the university has one and it's amazing the way it captures objects and people but overall, I will prefer you get a new phone, specifically a Samsung phone. DSLR cameras especially from good brands like canon are quite expensive and I will rather use that money to get a Samsung phone, their camera can be on par with a DSLR camera

I hope the market recovers so that you will be able to buy a new camera for your photograhys because they are actually pretty nice. Your consideration in buying a new Phone with a great camera is also a good option but for me I think it's nice to buy a camera so that you can also have a feeling like your actually doing photography if you know what I am saying 😅.

Obviously camera for better quality, One question what device you are currently using, the photos look natural and vibrant and that night shot can't be captured that well even on a good camera phone.

I also thought about this before when you include photos when you share articles and photo images are very interesting the way you shoot with the background is very good but indeed the problem is on cellphones which have limits in taking pictures so the recommendation to buy a camera is the right decision In the past I used to hold a camera quite large but I couldn't take pictures because my hands often shook. My experience with using a camera is focus and accuracy of the shot because just moving a little then the image will be damaged but I can predict that you can.

Go get that camera! My first dslr was a canon eos 1100d. :) You will spend a lot of time getting to know the camera, what it can process and what you can discover.

Phones these days are awesome. You can get lenses depending on what you want also. Some have their "pro" mode with them but I still find some phone cams limiting.

The quality of the pictures are still different.

Some would say, though, if you start posting them in soc med, the quality gets compressed anyway. But oh do go and get one. You can resell once you think you are no longer having fun with it.

I am for what they say that the best camera is always the one that you already have with your hands. The composition is what matters most. BUT i also do know there is certain clarity/sharpness and color registry that a camera provides better than a phone cam.

Daldal ko lang... Hahah go go go sis..

I bought DSLR couple of weeks ago. I'd suggest you to buy mirror less DSLR camera. Such as Sony ZV, Canon Mark D series. And buy 18-135mm lens. You're all ready for tour
