    No, but cooking with expired food never helped anyone, either.

    look, if your interested in starting photography, these are some of the things I've learnt



    1. Get a shitty camera and take lots of photos using all these composition tricks youve learnt from doing your own research and not relying on other people to do it for you.

    2. Read lots of magazines, blogs, forums. I've subscribed to a couple blogs, take alook at this one, full of useful stuff

    http://digital-photography-school.com/

    look at lots of photos and see what makes your favourite photo your favourite photo and try to encapsulate the features that make that photo 'work' as such.

    3. Once you have a few decent shots and feel like you want to push this hobby on further because your limited with your camera, invest in a relatively cheap, entry level DSLR, just one that you can, change lenses, adjust shutter speed, that's all you really need for the time being, all entry level cameras are good enough with megapixels and other features.

    4. Once you think your ready, get a few cheap lenses, I suggest the cheap 50mm 1.8, essential for any photography. Once you have a few lenses, your ready to upgrade to a newer body.

    5. These tips are just helping you beginners out there from buying a top of the range camera, blowing thousands on equipment, thinking your going to love this hobby forever then falling out of love with it and having to sell everything at half the price you sold it for.




    Finally, keep posting your shots, we'll help you best we can for tips and advice, I know I'm not the best photography in the world, but I've learnt quite alot over the past few years that you can only really learn through time.


    One quote that I think is pretty important if your serious about it

    Stop Taking Pictures, Start Creating Images



    Just had to get all that off my chest, just fed up of all these kids wanting to get into it and wasting thousands and not even knowing about rule of thirds

    Havent posted in a minute.
    I started out with a canon S5 IS point and shoot, untill i was comfortable with stuff, and then i found myself a deal on the canon 30D. i got used to the 18-55mm lens, and then i bought a cheap telephoto and a 50mm 1.8

    i also shoot film with a nikon f80.



    heres the latest.

    it does suck with a lot of talking, but that's part of it too, everyone needs help every now and then so why not try to help them out, someday you may be asking them a question

    and well put thesecks, i see a lot of people going out and buying the most expensive camera mommy and daddy will pay for then not even knowing what aperture is, and some never try to find out, sticking the camera on auto and just snapping away, maybe getting a couple of decent shots out of a thousand, try pretending you have only 30 shots for an entire day, spend more time setting up for your shot then taking it

    on those night/low light shots, get a tripod and lower your iso, the noise in the darker spots is incredibly distracting

    and no...i have no pictures for now
