Digital Photography 101

It goes without saying... before you start taking any pictures, you should really go out and get yourself a camera.

Now, this is alright if you already have a camera, but what about if you're still looking for a camera and unsure over what you should go for.

Since you're reading this we can assume that you're interested in digital cameras.

Then again you could have already gone ahead and bought your film camera, are regretting this action and are now drooling over the possible amazing things that you could have done with a digital instead.

Whatever the case may be, it's a fairly good bet that at this point you will need a digital camera to be able to take digital pictures and to be able to take advantage of all the pluses, that going digital will afford you.

That said, before we go on to the next topic, I really feel that you should be aware of one tiny little fact.

Most digital camera's that you buy now will in all probability become obsolete before they hit the shelves, and there's a better than even chance that their prices will drop within a year or two.

It's a shocking, but true fact, and something that you should come to grips with before you go any further.

After all, that's the whole point of cutting edge technology and that's why we go in for it in the first place. That said there's really nothing to worry about.

Just because your new digital camera is not the latest in cutting edge technology doesn't mean that you will suffer for it.

On the contrary, trying to always equip yourself with the latest and the greatest can in fact be quite a handicap.

You'll spend more time - and money - on trying to play catch-up with your latest digital equipment than you would on actually taking breathtaking photographs.
    
When you get more familiar with digital photography and you're more comfortable with your digital camera and all that you can do with it, then I would suggest upgrading your camera to a better model.

Or if you're satisfied with what you have, then stick with it

Thriftiness and a lingering affection will keep your old camera within reach, but you'll still hanker after one of those latest and greatest digital cameras that are being advertised so assiduously everywhere you look.

Then this lense is just for you ;-)
