Technological devices often have many features that we may find difficult to use. I got a DSLR, which stands for digital single-lens reflex camera, about two years ago. It was a special purchase after saving up, as I wanted to explore photography beyond my phone's camera capabilities. I bought the camera primarily to improve my photography skills. I wanted to take high-quality photos of landscapes and portraits. I was curious about settings like image quality and shutter speed. I try to use the camera at least once a month, mainly during my trips, holidays, or special occasions, whenever I feel motivated to experiment. However, I find myself relying more on my phone's camera due to its convenience. I have mixed feelings about this camera. On one hand, I appreciate the quality it can produce and the control it gives over photography settings. On the other hand, it feels overwhelming and complicated to use. There are so many functions and settings that it can be confusing for me. In short, while I am working on my photography, I want to share my experience with you.
