Have you lost your photographic mojo? Fed up with lugging heavy camera systems around? That was me way back in 2014 and in this blog I am going to let you know how moving to Olympus could help you with your photography. My name is Eifion Williams and I am one part of the Welshot Photographic Academy – I have been taking photos for more years than I care to remember and have been teaching photography, officially, since 2009. Back in 2014 I lost all interest in my own personal photography and I failed to understand why. I just knew that photography was no longer fun on a personal level – in fact, it was a struggle!

I Want To Learn How To Use My Camera - Photo of a person holding a camera, looking at the back of it while it sits on an open laptop with a phone next to it.

“I want to learn how to use my camera… Properly” is a statement we hear from people time and time again. How do I learn my camera? Is another – Our reply at Welshot is always the same. Practice, practice, practice, practice some more and practice again. According to Malcolm Gladwell’s blockbuster book ‘Outliers’ it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything. That’s about 10 years of intensive practice to achieve mastery of any subject and here at Welshot we know, without a doubt, the people who get the best from their camera(s) are the ones that put the most time and effort into learning the art of photography.
