borrow books from the library. start with simple ones, then go out and practice all the basic techniques. don't worry abt getting nice shots. once u get the basics right then u can experiment on real shoots...

 

i also quite noob [flowerface]. but basic technical stuff i mostly got it down pat.. just that i have quite poor aesthetic sense tho [laugh][laugh][laugh]

 

i took a photojourn course at my school.. didn't actually learn anything in class. but from class i received pointers to go out and do self learning. photography is very hands on [;)]

 

try this site www.kenrockwell.com. in case i type wrongly, google: ken rockwell.

depends on whether you wanna make it a job or hobby. If you wanna go into photography business, then the best and first step is to become a apprentice for a commercial photography house. From there, you should pick up essential photography skills like camera setting, lighting techniques, mood setting, composition, etc.

 

If you want to pick up the hobby, then there are alot of beginners courses being offered at Clubsnap forums, as well as regular newbie outings whereby silly questions are answered seriously wink.gif

 

I picked up photography during my uni days and I just buy books and magazines, then experiment by trying to replicate what you see in those books and magazines. Some people start off this way too. But you will learn faster when there is a experienced guy to give pointers every now and then.

 

But these days with digital SLRs, you can just snap away. Back then, I shoot about 15 rolls of film every week and the cost of developing those negatives can easily buy a few more SLRs dead.gif

If you just wanna learn how to tweak the settings to take good photos using basic cameras, I think self learning and experimentation is the best.

 

Look around you... I'm sure some of your friends can show you a trick or two...

If you want a PnS camera with the best low-light performance, then you shld look at this offering from FujiFilm. It's arguably the best PnS camera for low-light photography currently. [:)]
