Why are they carrying several cameras?

00

On the way to travel, we often see some people with several cameras around their necks.

At this time, many people who don't understand will ask: Are they showing off their wealth? Or 13?

In fact, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that they are not showing off their wealth. After all, three SLR cameras weigh at least seven or eight pounds. If it doesn't work, who wants to travel with such a heavy thing? If you want to show off your wealth, you might as well bring more big thick gold necklaces!

Then why do they bring so many cameras? To take some professional photos, of course.

They are not the people we call traveling just to take pictures. They are people who travel for taking pictures, and they are a group of people who enjoy taking pictures on the road.

But if you like photography, just take a camera when you go out, and then you can have multiple lenses. Why bring more than one camera?

There are many reasons, and I have summarized some as follows:

1. Handle all kinds of scenes without changing the lens to save time.

For example, if you are a landscape photographer, you are taking pictures with a zoom lens, but because you are traveling and have the need to take pictures of your friends, you often need a fixed focus lens. If you only have one camera, it will be too much trouble and a waste of time.

2. Respond to bad scenes and protect the camera

If you go out to shoot, it is not suitable to change the lens in case of sandstorm, thunder and rain, which will cause irreparable damage to the camera and lens.

3. Seize the beautiful moment

In some special scenes, such as taking portraits, a plane suddenly flew overhead, a bird flew by, and a rainbow suddenly appeared after the rain. These beautiful scenes are often fleeting, but they are not met. When you change the lens, the beauty may have passed away.

I agree: the meaning of traveling is to enjoy beautiful scenery and humanistic experience during the journey. If you stay at the level of taking photos and making friends, you will put the cart before the horse.

But for a photographer, they travel for the sake of photography and gain the beauty of travel through photography. In order to accomplish the task better, they will carry a big traveling bag on their backs and hang many cameras around their necks.

At this time, don't feel that people are showing off their wealth, pretending to be 13, and don't define behaviors that you don't understand. People may understand the meaning of travel and beauty a hundred times better than you.
