RE: A Day in Mainz Part 1: The Amazing Chagalle Windows of St. Stephen's Church
You don't need a lot of money to start out and it doesn't really matter what camera use. Most people think equipment is the most important thing, but learning the basics like composition and proper exposure is far more important and can be done with any camera. If you are starting out just look around and get yourself a cheap second-hand camera. As your skill increases, you will learn about what pictures you want to take and what equipment you really need.
I agree, I just use a regular point-and-shoot cam, which can be pretty cheap nowadays, and an action cam. A bit of photoshop editing can be handy as well.
Beautiful stained glass windows!
Yeah, the windows are crazy cool. They don't quite come across as amazing as I'd like them to on pictures. I was totally amazed when I saw them yesterday.
Most of the time I actually use a film camera and only carry digital as a backup. Sometimes my only digital option will be a GoPro Hero 3+ because it's very light and film equipment is stupidly heavy. You can take good pictures with any camera.

This is pretty cool.
Yeah, I agree with you, and I lose things most of the time when I travel. I don't really want to lose an expensive dslr.
Try analogue photography sometime. I wrote an article about how you can get into it cheap and easy:

It forces you to become a better photographer and the equipment is really cheap. You'll be surprised how many people actually still do this.
Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks for the tips!
