Affordable Photography: Take Great Photos Without Breaking The Bank

1. A solitary sailboat

Potential Camera: Canon Where to Purchase: eBay, Amazon, Walmart Price range: $15–$50* This scene is so well-composed that it nearly seems painted. Once again, Meagan V. Blazier pulled it off with this shot, which was once again captured with an inexpensive Canon camera. Since the Canon is one of the most widely used cameras, you can find it at stores like Walmart and online at places like eBay and Amazon.

2. The Lake at Sunrise

Potential Camera: Canon Where to Purchase: eBay, Amazon, Walmart Price range: $15–$50* This landscape shot was also captured by Meagan V. Blazier using her reliable Canon camera, which we are showcasing. The photographer captured a picture of a lake with a little boat positioned in the center. Despite the description being unremarkable, the shot is undoubtedly remarkable because of the clouds overhead.

Pinterest / @cleodudgeon / Sunrise Over The Lake Who would have thought that a "cheap old Canon" could record a scene like this? The clouds appear to have been captured so precisely that they could have been plucked from a Renaissance scene. Most of us, who are not experienced photographers or those on a tight budget, would be better off picking up a Canon and getting to work.
