It runs about $1300. It\u2019s easily the best camera I\u2019ve ever owned. I take care of it as best as I can, but I don\u2019t let taking care of it impact the photography. Let me elaborate on that a bit better. You\u2019ll get better at each section of what we talked about slowly. And while you do, you\u2019ll be amazed at how much easier it all is and how the habit forms. The best way to get better at photography is start by taking your camera everywhere. If you leave your house, your camera leaves with you. The only exception is if you\u2019re planning for a weekend bender\u200a\u2014\u200athen probably leave it at home. Other than that, always have it slung over your shoulder. It would probably help to get an extra battery to carry in your pocket. I\u2019ve got three batteries. One in my camera, one in my pocket, one in the charger.<\/p>\n

When it dies, swap them all.<\/p>\n

For me, the most important part of improving at photography has been sharing it. Sign up for an Exposure account, or post regularly to Tumblr, or both.
