Photography Tips Guide

Posts Tagged ‘Beginning’

I’m just starting to take on photography, and I still have a lot of questions….
How do you get that look in a photo where the backround looks blurred and the main subject is in focus, creating an appealing contrast? What’s the best way to get that shot?
Are close-up shots of, like, eagles swooping down and catching fish one in a million or just the product of high zoom?
What’s the difference between those stylish, modern-looking metalic grey digital cameras that are 1/2 inches thick and big, bulky cameras with lenses that shoot out 5 inches? I’ve been too sport gatherings and seen big events, and the professional photographers seem to have those plain, bulky looking cameras with tons of buttons. Are they better?
Also, if I don’t have $20,000 to buy really good and professional equipment, how can I start a career, or for that matter, catch really good photos? My digital camera just seems to capture plain, average photos, even when I can see a better picture in my head

I want to start doing photography, and I’ve heard Nikon is my best bet.
I need one that I can buy and use now, but won’t disable me if I go on to a more professional level.
[I wanna take BIG photos, not the crappy little digital camera kind]
Now, if it were a film camera, would I need to keep a place where I can develop my photos?
And if digital, should I invest in Photoshop CS3?
[I have PaintShop Pro 9+10, I can get my hands on 11 as well. I also have Arcsoft Photostudio.]
I’m just 14, and dunno if they’d let me get a developing room, and the camera has to be within a reasonable price, around 700 USD at most, but cheaper if possible.
Also, it does not have to be within a kit, separate products are fine.

Ok so i want to get into photography but i have no idea where to start. Can you guys recommend any cameras? price range 400-600. I mostly wanna do pictures of people so yea thanks.

I have taken some photo classes at school, but that was film, and I’ve used my dads digital camera before, but it’s too big and annoying to carry around. so what’s a good digital camera for a beginner? links to websites would be helpful.
thanks.
