Did you know that even the richest person in the world can buy the fanciest camera in the world and it could still function like a shitty camera? Yes, uh, I am guilty of that. For like a while. Uh, I have a very nice camera and I have not been getting the most out of it. And I realized this when I had to use someone else with the same camera, who just had a better setup and was getting a way better product than me.
And so I'm going to show the example of how you can make a camera better without having to upgrade your camera. It goes like this. I have turned off the very bright lights that I added to my room, and now my room is bad. If I turn them back on. There we go. The simple fact of the matter is the more light you allow a camera to capture through its lens, the higher quality it can give you.
And if your room is too dark, it doesn't matter if you have a fancy 4K camera, even if it has a quote unquote low light mode. It's not. Working as best it can. So before you try to figure out why isn't my camera working, try just adding light to your room.
I picked up these like photographers soft box lights that I now have behind my desk and it makes my whole room have more light and it makes there be less, you know, of the little like grainy in the background and it, uh, makes the quality sharper. So that is the tip of the day, is before you try to upgrade to your camera, try seeing if more light simply makes it a better picture. And more light doesn't necessarily mean overhead lighting, right?
Want it, uh, on you if it's for a picture of you, but also just in the room in general. Part of the problem of my setup is that my backdrop was too dark. So even though I was well lit, what was behind me was not. And so the lights that I got are, uh, soft light box that spread light throughout the entire room so that, uh, there's enough light getting into the camera from all angles. Okay, and with that, um, happy Monday. Hope you spread light or something like that.
