Photography in a Wheelchair

Wheelchair Photography Starter Plan

If you need a fun hobby to do that does not really cost much then photography is for you. You can take amazing pictures of your very own wheelchair without needing to be a professional. In fact, if you do not have money to buy an extra camera but you have a smartphone then you can use your smartphone. Because smartphones now have a very good lens built in and you can also download apps to help you adjust the camera to your likings. A basic digital camera can run you on average $400 brand new but you can also buy one used on craigslist. If you choose to buy your equipment from users on craigslist make sure you do it safely because you can’t forget that they are complete strangers. Another great place to get your camera or equipment is an app called Offer up. In this app, you meet with local users in a certain mile range.
