Hello there! If you are an SLR camera newbie, have just bought or are thinking of buying a Digital or film SLR then welcome to my camera newbie page. If you are new to digital or beginning 35mm photography or just photography in general, then firstly let me just apologise. Why? Well, if you read enough of this site and get "hooked" in the same way that I did many years ago, then I am afraid it will divert much of your time (and a bit of money) away from what used to be your regular life!
You may want to completely understand how your camera does what it does with the buttons and switches that it has. With the way Digital or film SLRs have changed over the years, there is a multitude of combinations of different settings that will allow your creative juices to flow for ever more!
If you get that bug, photography as a hobby can and may well alter the way you do things in your everyday life. It will start as a hobby, but the beauty of photography is that;
• You are never quite an expert
• There is always something new to photograph, events etc.
• There is always something new to learn
• Technology constantly changes
• You and your interests, lifestyle and situation will change
All of this means that your camera will start to become more and more a part of you and your daily doings, and you will want to record your life (and that of people and things around you) in a better and more pleasing way.
