I was wondering if the were any better ways to learn the ins and outs of photography without getting to submerged and becoming lost?
Thanks |

you'll never get good without working at it. you'll never get good taking 100 pictures a week. |

| The ins and outs of photography or this photography site? Just jump in in either case. The water is fine and the eels are friendly today. |

I'd recommend that you start by reading. Internet, library, magazines.
Simultaneously start shooting.
Take pictures of anything large or small, people, pets, indoor or outdoor. Try all the different setting on your camera and learn what they can and can't do.
Above all have fun. |

Practice.

If it hasn't been mentioned already.
Practice.
Read.
Apply.
And then practice some more. And when you've done all that. Practice some more.

Errm...
1) practice...
you need to take every shot seriously... (this is hard as we're no longer shooting film) It used to hurt a lot when you turn out crappy shots.. (hurt both my pockets and I get hit on the head by my "teacher")
2) Look at every shot you turn out for mistake and areas for improvements
When I started out with film, I had an album for every roll of shots taken. On it are post-its of the mistakes...
3) What mistakes? or what to look out for? This is the BIG 5!
I break down my "ratings" according to the following .. (it's actaully the basics..
a) Lighting (was shooting manual flash - no choice!)
b) exposure
c) DOF
d) Framing (no Adobe cropping.. .hee)
e) composition
Well.. I'm still pretty new at photography... loads to learn from the folks here.. but hope this helps..
Cheers
