My friend was showing me her camera, that she`s just bought recently. We were just leaving the house to go for a coffee when I noticed her storing her camera back into her camera bag. \u201cAren`t you going to take it with you?\u201d I asked. She hesitated. A camera bag is usually a rather ugly thing so I wouldn`t want to take it when going for a coffee with friends either. I would just hang my camera over my shoulder. \u201cOh, I`ll take the camera another time \u2013 it`s too heavy now\u201d, my friend said.<\/p>

It\u00b4s no surprise that this camera is only being picked up for occasions like holidays, birthdays, and other celebrations. The thing is, we can`t expect brilliant holiday pictures if we never pick up our cameras in our everyday life. We need to practice all the time to see these special moments and we need to get familiar with our camera. Plus, we don`t wanna miss the most special shots which our ordinary days provide. In fact, I find that pictures of the ordinary are THE most valuable and treasured pictures in years down the road.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

So here`s where your camera is supposed to be: Hanging over your shoulder and ready to shoot. That means the lens cap is either at home or in our pocket. To protect the lens, I use a UV filter. This way I don`t have to fear scratches on my glass. And I don`t lose these seconds of thinking whether it`s worth taking my lens cap off. I just shoot. Oh, and I don`t use long lenses when I\u00b4m not on a photo job, but I use a tiny 35 mm prime lens, not more than 3 cm long. Nothing more annoying than a long lens banging against stuff when out and about.<\/p>

A camera bag is even worse than a lens cap. Because until you have taken out your camera, the moment has most likely passed. And half the time you`re not taking a shot at all because you can`t be bothered to take the camera out of the bag.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Your camera is a tool, not a treasure<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The only occasion when I would use a camera bag is when I`m on a photo job and it`s raining. For these occasions, I have an old cheap cooler bag that isn`t really capable of cooling things down but just keeps sandwiches from getting all soggy in the heat. I found it unused in my mom\u2019s kitchen: it`s waterproof and even padded. When I`m not on a job and it`s raining I would just wear my camera under a longer jacket.<\/p>

Keep in mind that your camera is a tool, not a shiny treasure to store safely in your closet. It`s made to be used. If it`s too heavy for you to take it with you in your everyday life, you`re gonna be better off with a lighter model. If you`re worried about something happening to your expensive gear, you`re better off buying cheap gear instead. A cheap little second-hand bought Olympus Pen that you`re actually using to the extreme is better for your photography than a high-end brand-new Leica that you`re afraid to break.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Remember that it`s the pictures that come out of your camera which are the true treasures, not the camera itself. There`s a nice interview with Magnum photographer Alex Webb on www.magnumphotos.com. He says: \u201cGreat photographs have been taken with all kinds of cameras\u2014from Brownies to 8\u00d710 cameras, from smartphones to 35mm cameras. These days, some photographers are taking remarkable photographs with smartphones. In the end, what\u2019s most important is how one sees. The camera itself is merely a tool.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Warum du ohne Kameratasche bessere Fotos machst<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Meine Freundin zeigt mir ihre Kamera, die sie gerade neu gekauft hat. Wir brechen gerade auf, um Kaffee trinken zu gehen, als ich sehe, wie sie ihre Kamera zur\u00fcck in die Kameratasche steckt. \u201eNimmst du die nicht mit?\u201d frage ich. Sie z\u00f6gert. Eine Kameratasche sieht normalerweise eher h\u00e4sslich aus, deswegen h\u00e4tte ich auch wenig Lust, sie zum Kaffeetrinken mitzunehmen. Meine Kamera h\u00e4ngt einfach \u00fcber meiner Schulter. \u201cAch, ich nehme die Kamera mal wann anders mit \u2013 gerade ist sie mir zu schwer\u201d, antwortet meine Freundin.<\/p>

Es \u00fcberrascht nicht, dass diese Kamera nur f\u00fcr Urlaube, Geburtstage und andere Feiern hervorgeholt wird. Sie Sache ist die: Wir k\u00f6nnen nicht erwarten, dass wir im Urlaub super Bilder schie\u00dfen, wenn wir unsere Kamera im Alltag nie verwenden. Wir m\u00fcssen dauernd \u00fcben, um diese besonderen Momente zu sehen und vor allem m\u00fcssen wir mit unserer Kamera wirklich vertraut sein. Au\u00dferdem wollen wir doch nicht diese besonderen Schnappsch\u00fcsse verpassen, die uns unser Alltag bietet. Tats\u00e4chlich finde ich die Alltagsbilder nach Jahren die am Allerwertvollsten. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hier ist also wo deine Kamera sein sollte: \u00dcber deiner Schulter h\u00e4ngend und schussbereit. Das hei\u00dft, dass dein Objektivdeckel entweder zu Hause oder in deiner Tasche ist. Um das Objektiv zu sch\u00fctzen, benutze ich einen UV-Filter. So muss ich mir wegen Kratzern keine Sorgen machen. Und ich verliere nicht diese Sekunden des Nachdenkens, ob es sich lohnt, den Kameradeckel runterzumachen oder nicht. Ich mache einfach das Bild. Oh, und ich verwende keine langen Objektive, wenn ich nicht auf einem Fotojob bin. Stattdessen verwende ich ein kleines 35mm Objektiv mit Festbrennweite, das nicht l\u00e4nger als drei Zentimeter ist. Nichts Nervigeres als ein langes Objektiv, das st\u00e4ndig gegen etwas st\u00f6\u00dft, wenn man unterwegs ist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Eine Kameratasche ist noch ung\u00fcnstiger als ein Kameradeckel. Denn bis du deine Kamera aus der Tasche geholt hast, ist der Moment wahrscheinlich vorbei. Und oft machst du erst gar kein Bild, weil es so umst\u00e4ndlich ist, diese Kamera erst aus der Tasche zu holen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Deine Kamera ist ein Werkzeug, kein Ausstellungsst\u00fcck<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Der einzige Anlass, wenn ich eine Kameratasche verwende, ist wenn ich auf einem Fotojob bin und es regnet. F\u00fcr diese Anl\u00e4sse habe ich eine alte billige K\u00fchltasche, die nicht so richtig k\u00fchlt, sondern h\u00f6chstens ein Sandwich einigerma\u00dfen vor Hitze sch\u00fctzen kann. Ich hab diese K\u00fchltasche unbenutzt in der K\u00fcche meiner Mutter gefunden \u2013 sie ist wasserdicht und sogar gepolstert. Wenn ich nicht f\u00fcr einen Job unterwegs bin und es regnet, dann trage ich meine Kamera einfach unter einer langen Jacke.<\/p>

Mach dir klar, dass deine Kamera ein Werkzeug ist, nicht ein Ausstellungsst\u00fcck, das du sicher in deinem Schrank abschlie\u00dft. Sie ist zum Benutzen gemacht. Wenn eine Kamera zu schwer f\u00fcr dich ist, um sie in deinen Alltag zu tragen, dann bist du mit einem leichteren Modell besser beraten. Wenn du dir Sorgen machst, dass deiner teuren Ausr\u00fcstung etwas passiert, dann w\u00e4re es vermutlich besser, dir billigere Sachen zuzulegen. Eine g\u00fcnstige Second-Hand gekaufte Olympus Pen, die du tats\u00e4chlich auch benutzt, ist f\u00fcr deine Fotografie besser als eine neue Leica, …..<\/p>

Denk daran, dass es die Bilder sind, die aus der Kamera kommen, die die wirklichen Sch\u00e4tze sind, nicht die Kamera selbst. Es gibt ein sch\u00f6nes Interview mit Magnum Fotograf Alex Webb auf\u00a0www.magnumphotos.com. Er sagt: \u201cTolle Fotos wurden mit allen m\u00f6glichen Kameras gemacht \u2013 ob mit Brownies oder 8\u00d710 Kameras, ob mit Smartphones oder 35mm Kameras. Heute machen Fotografen bemerkenswerte Bilder mit Smartphones. Am Ende ist das was z\u00e4hlt, wie jemand sieht. Die Kamera selbst ist nur ein Werkzeug.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
