There so many people out there that have digital cameras, but don’t know how to use them.They get stuck looking at all the different camera settings and not knowing where to begin.
There are lots of photography books out there, but so many of them seem to be a bit outdated and not relevant to today’s issues. There are plenty of online sites, but even with those sometimes it’s hard to tell whether or not they’re legit.
Is the site run by a real honest to goodness commercial photographer or is it a hobbyist that’s teaching as they learn the ropes themselves?
Just about everything about photogrpahy is subjective. If you like someone’s photography, great.If someone’s photography doesn’t appeal to you, that’s ok too.There’s no right or wrong when it comes to what you like in photography.
Find someone you like and let them mentor you. If you grow from the experience then it’ll be a good relationship for you and your photography will get better as you study and apply the techniques you learn.
