Very basic newbie

12 years 9 months ago #113068 by dlabbee
I am new to the forum, and have always taken snapshots, just wanting to learn more. Not ready for the big guns in cameras yet. I have to learn more alot more about composition, lighting and etc. first. That is why I am here.

Welcome. Your approach is refreshing to read. You are so right to learn the basic concepts of composition, lighting, contrast, focus before making a big investment to "big gear". Put aside a few dollars each week so that when you have a good understanding of the concepts, we will be ready to make an informed decision.
Congratulations on taking this approach.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

...and then some.

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.
