so i'm thinking to dive into photography...i already bought a book about it but one thing bothers me though! which photo would you sudgest to buy and why...what is it that you need to pay attention to...lense,zoom? thanks. |

depends how serious you are.. how much do you want to spend. ignore digital zoom, ignore interoplated pixles. quality - megapixles youll want at least 5mp for decen a4+ prints. this isnt everything though.. things like colour tone are important too. if you wanna get different lenses/filters you may want a high end camera. ive got a dslr (canon eo3 300d) which you can grab for about 500 quid now. id highly recommend but its pretty big as its a pro camera. do a search on google. really depends on your needs though.. |

i'm thinking to buy something for an novice in photography...anything would do,just not some ultra commercial crap. how about a digital photo...what do i need to pay attention to? are the lenses changeable on them or just on analogue? |

SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera's are the ones you can change lenses (and a few top-end prosumers too i think) on. These are much cheaper analogue but you can get them digital (like my cam see above). u can get a decent digi one for 200 odd. see above for main points - megapixles, the more the better, optical zoom, shooting modes, etc. the more the better really at this price. |

i love getting new ideas/concepts in my head and then trying to communicate them visually in the best way possible... pshop helps too for a little bit of processing (contrast etc.) |

ow...i was thinking that i would not use photoshop. just the raw reality as it is. one thing is really cool about my town and that is that it's 3000 yrs old,so a lot of inspiration just comes from the structure of the buildings. |

aww..i really like your work! |

cool mate, theres nothing wrong with enhancing your photo using digital darkroom techniques just as you would if you were developing your own analogue. just so long as you dont manip the whole image. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well not the whole image but i mean making it something its not.. blah blah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought a book about the principles and practice of photography...should be fun to dive into it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea another reason its so great- tons of shit to learn. like all the analog stuff and general photography rules, then digital shit - colour depth, resolutions, white balance, etc etc etc... love it mate |

hehehe...i'm really interrested in B/W images,although i don't like what dijital cameras offer as b/w filters. whats the deal with B/W...are there analogue cameras that only work like that or something else? |
||||||||

nah mate its the film that does b and w... but dont worry get your digital shots in photshop and use the channel mixer to convert it to monochrome and then use the red green blue sliders to play about with it until u have the mix of black and white that you want. digital is cheaper - saves on film and storage, faster your shots are developed instantly, and with photoshop too you have the best darkroom money can buy in one package (hence its name and price tag) - you will soon discover how powerful photoshop is. get some mags with tutorials in, the tutorials are pretty crappy but give you an idea of what you can experiment with. |

aha...i always thought it's about the camera,ah well...atleast it's demistifised now. one thing is for sure...we are spoiled to the bone...analogue thing was soo hard,cos you needed to know what you want and with digital it doesn't really matter,cos you can always delete what you don't like. |

kinda yeah.... digital makes it dead easy to get into, but that doesnt mean youll become a better photographer or anything though.. |

"kinda yeah.... digital makes it dead easy to get into, but that doesnt mean youll become a better photographer or anything though.." what, you can say the same about analogue if you are doing manual digital work (i.e. not just using a point-and-shoot cam,) then you will learn (and have to learn) all those details ... eventually digital is cheaper ... i'd start on digital imo |
||||||||

no analogue means being perfect with your shots from the off, otherwise wasting money and time on film... this doesnt happen with digital... thus digital is easier to get into. |
