Here’s a brilliant 45-second commercial that shows what expectation versus reality is like when buying a fancy new camera. People often have lofty ideas of what their photography will be like, but most of the time reality isn’t nearly as glamorous. The ad is in Norwegian, but the message is easy for anyone to understand.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
