Has anyone ever done digital photography?
Did you use books/textbooks to learn? If so which one's were most helpful?
Did you take a course? Are there good online course or would it be better to find a local class to go to?
What equipment did you use? How much did it cost?
Any additional comments are welcome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks bunches.
Just to specify (since some people don't seem to be getting it), I have been taking digital pictures with a fairly good point and shoot camera for years, but it has been of just of family in friends on birthdays and holidays and such.
What I was really asking in my question was getting into the artistic aspects of digital photography (nature, wildlife, urban, etc.), not just capturing memories.
I plan on getting a SLR once I know if I am planning on sticking with it or not.
My son (14) is into it big time.
He has a Canon Digital Rebel XT (expensive) and a telephoto zoom lense and macro (close up) lens. I think around $600 for the camera - it is a "near professional" quality camera. Also has a photo printer.
A book that we have found helpful is: John Hedgecoe's Photography Basics which includes digital photography techniques.
Did not take a course (yet). I think you might get more out of a local class than an online class.
You can check out some of his pictures at the links below.
***UPDATE:
If you really want to get into the artistic aspects of it... I would also recommend getting good photo editing software. PhotoShop is commonly considered among the best.
Also, with the camera I mention above, you can get all the same sorts of lenses and filters that you can use with a film 35MM camera.
