ok!.!.!.now that everybody else told you a bunch of blah blah blah!.!.!.let me tell you the truth!.
First it all depends on how much u are willing to spend, but whatever you do don't waste your money on a point and shoot!.!.!.!.because you will learn all it can do in about two days and you will out grow it and be tired of it in about two weeks!. Even if you don't have alot to spend buy a DSLR, you can get a good starting DLSR for about $300!.
As you can see from looking online you have 1,000's options, but either buy a Canon or a Nikon they both offer great starting DLSR for the money!. And make sure you have enough in your budget to buy a tripod!. You can buy a good starting tripod at Best Buy for $30-$60 but trust me you will want a tripod!. And if you are new to photography then just go buy a book on photography!.!.!.not one that just has pictures in it!.!.!.buy one that teaches you about photography!.!.like a photography for dummies book!.!.!.then you will learn what the lingo means!.!.!.!.and last but not least!.!.!.!.!.!.when you get one just read all you can about photography and go out and shoot shoot shoot and you will just get better as you go!. And i think something else you will enjoy is get a Mag Sub to Popular Photography its a great mag you will read every issue from front to back !.!.u will love it!.!.!.!.
So bottom line get a DSLR a Tripod, atleast a 2g memory card and a book or two on photography!. just a fyi I shoot a Nikon D80 and I love it!.!.!.!.but just get what ever you can afford just please don't waste your money on a point and shoot!.!.!.sorry point and shoot people it's just if you want to take real photography pic!.!.then you need a DSLR!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, i'm just 14 =P!.!.!.

but i'm really into photography as a hobby!.

for my birthday last year (13 babyyyy =D) i got a cannon rebel, and attachable 32 mm lens!. it's great!

some things i found fun to take pictures of are life!. when i was on a vacation in mexico, i got some amazing pictures of a mother with her baby!.

another thing i always find cool to take pictures of, is just the ocean waves!. i love the seaaa!.


so, good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would personally start out with a point & shoot camera, and experiment with aperture as well as iso and shutter speeds on that before you move to the next step, which would be a DSLR!.

i have a fujifilm s700, it's my baby, and i plan on going up to a fujifilm 50D pro once i have the funds for it!.

anyways, i would definitely always look for opportunities to take photographs, and take your camera with you wherever you go!. when you see things, get into the mindset of "i wonder what this would look like with a short/long depth of field!?" "this lighting is wonderful!", etc!.

when you take a photograph, you're capturing a piece of life; with a simple breeze or a certain footstep on sand, it will never be the same again!. it's sort of sacred, you know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can go with schooling or experience!.
There are schools like Art Inst or Brooks that specialize in this!.
Or
Get a job and learn from them, even though you take good pix now, you will improve by shadowing someone!. Look on Craigslist under Gigs!. There are always people looking for a second shooter at weddings and models looking for portfolios!. You may have to do one for free to prove yourself, but word of mouth is amazing!.

If you want to do fine art kind of stuff, you'll need a gallery that likes your stuff!. That means you gotta hit the pavement and show your work to gallery managers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
