I really enjoyed photography 50 years ago using a very good SLR rig and a collection of amazing quality Canon glass lenses. But every Kodachrome or Ektachrome shot cost $1, so I was always taking care to compose a good shot and asked myself “Is this shot worth $1?”
Today you get 20 shots of your burger and beer for almost nothing.
I have a Sony A6000, and still try to practice good composition techniques, even with the camera on my phone. I come up with some pretty nice shots occasionally. If I don’t, nobody has to know.
