Position:Home>Arts & Humanities> Beginning photography?Question: Beginning photography?I am interested in photography and I have noticed that our local junior college offers some continuing education courses, but I wanted to know a little bit more before I get involved. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In any photography the most important thing is behind the viewfinder - YOU! Digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras can give results as good as similar film cameras. And digital photos are much cheaper than film because you don't have to pay for a photo unless you print it. Just before I switched to digital my film and developing budget, even using mail order, was hundreds of dollars a month. If you love editing then by all means take some courses at the local college. Talk to a local wedding photographer and see if he/she will let you assist in a couple of weddings to get some good photos to edit. Digital Photography Review has a Buying Guide which lets you select tons of things that are important to you and then gives you recommendations for the best cameras which meet your needs. A big advantage to this approach is that you can change a parameter such as price range and see how that changes the recommendations. Matching a camera to your specific needs and desires is much better than just having someone recommend models that they like. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.... |
