Question by bleeeeeeeearrghhh: photography?
Hello
I am organizing on taking up photography as a hobby..
just have a couple of concerns:
1. What sort of camera really should i go with? i am thinking a large portion of my photographs will be black and white.
two. How do you actually get “far better”? Any online guides about what to look out for and what to practice?
three. How do you really get accredited as a skilled?
Sounds like a excellent way to earn some money on the side.
thanks

You’re most likely going to hear much better answers from professionals but I’ll at least put my two cents in.
I suggest taking a class first. I’ve been taking photos as a hobby given that about 1970 but the class I took in HS truly produced a massive distinction. I don’t know that HS’s teach it any a lot more, but perhaps a Jr. College might. The class will teach you about all the different sorts of photos you can take– scenery, portraits, and so on, and could be a good source if info on cameras, filters, etc.
A extremely crucial factor I learned in the class is that you can take great images with any camera. It is the way you frame the picture that tends to make all the difference. As you get much better you can tweak things like colors, contrast, depth of field, and so on.
For a long time my camera was a Contax 139. When I went digital I bought a Konica Minolta Dimage X50. It has a terrible shutter delay, but if the conditions are proper it can take fabulous photographs. If I had been shopping for a digital SLR I’d possibly look at a Nikon.
Take the class. See what you like to do and your teacher might be in a position to help you make a decision.
