[QUOTE="Say_Cheese, post: 387282, member: 15770"] Hi, Glad to see someone else who is getting into the Photography game. As for instruction it depends upon what you want to photograph. I can however recommend the following links. [url=http://www.photographymonthly.com/]British Magazine for General Information[/url] [url=http://www.photographytips.com/page.cfm/664]Info on General basics[/url] [url=http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm]Tutorials on digital Photography[/url] [url=http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/]A magazine on Outdoor Photography[/url] [url=http://www.dpreview.com/]Good fourms here on all aspects of digital cameras and associated stuff[/url] Hope that the above are useful. I would suggest that if you can you get to your local newsagents and see what magazines they have on photography. It is such a popular subject that so many magazines are produced each month on the topic. The best way that I can recommend to get yourself taking good pictures is to get out there and practice. I would say that you should take photos of anything and everything. I don't know what camera you are getting/have got but if you have one where you can play around with the shutter speeds and apertures and ISO settings then do so. See how the results differ from your own experiences, eventually you should be able to go to almost any lighting situation and know what ISO you will want to use and what shutter speed and aperture combination you will need. You can read all you like but knowledge is no substitute for pratical experience. I basically self taught myself for years and built up a portfolio, then I managed to get a job with an advertising photographers as a junior. Unfortunately i'm not in the industy now as the company was liquidated but I still do a lot of my own stuff for my own pleasure. I'm still learning, we all are. Thankfully digital makes it cheaper to make errors than when on film. Go practise and keep experiementing. Good luck [/QUOTE]
