From beginners to advanced in the field of photography, you need a camera that is easy to learn how to operate.
Clear focus, distance, lighting, backdrop, contrast, whether inside or outside all the things to consider regarding your picture.
Does subject of the picture take up the whole frame? Is a Zoom lens needed.
Photos of people in action or still.
Is it a gathering of family or friends for a dinner or a party? Or perhaps a Wedding - from showers, parties to pre-wedding preparations that you want to capture in a photo for a photo album.
Are you interested in taking photos of nature or landscape? Are you perhaps interested in learning Photojournalism - news, stories, etc are presented mainly through photographs.
Is the camera you purchase the one camera that will be able to perform all that is needed to capture photographs that you want.
It is best to do some research on cameras.
Cost of various cameras also to consider.
The flexibility of the camera for what you are going to use it.
If you need to take one or several photography classes to achieve the knowledge you need.
If you already have a camera, purchase some film.
Start experimenting by taking photos of landscape or if you have a pet take several photos of them.
Try objects that are still as motion many times ends up to a burr in a photo.
Try several different angles before actually taking the photo.
Now that we are entering the Fall season take photos - color of the leaves, dried flowers or weeds in various shades.
Photo your children playing in the fall leaves or children craving pumpkins.
You will gain experience to perform photography for the holidays.
