[QUOTE="Aaagogo, post: 387326, member: 30316"] try getting this book by Bryan Peterson "Understanding Exposure" U will need to learn some basic photoshop skills and then the rest would be to get bit by the shutter bug and start snapping away. What kind of photography are you looking at getting into? Landscape, Macro, Glamour, Still Life... there is an extensive list, reason being the DLSR body is as limited to the lens that you have on it. IE to say, you can't put on a wide angle lens and expect to shoot a tiny bug and want it to look like a macro shot. As you say you wanna get into photography, 1st thing 1st, what body did u get for ur DSLR, from there, research and see which are your affordable lens that you can purchase, and try learning with that lens, things like framing a shot, exposure, DOF and if u find a specific area in photography which you like, go on the web or bookstore and look at how other's compose their shots and get inspiration from them and learn how to reproduce the same shot, then maybe you will come up with your preferred style of shooting. Primes are much better for learning, they can be more difficult because of it's fixed FL but also the fastest way to learn photography IMO. there are tons of camera brand specific forums out there, and also a forums on specific types of shooting style. Hope the info helps :) [/QUOTE]
