Catcher What sort of camera did you get? There are lots of magazines out there on digital photography, but also some good websites for tutorials. ephotozine is a good place to start looking for help. Amateur Photographer is a weekly mag, it has some interesting articles, but also a lot of camera and lens reviews. Some very nice photos in there sometimes though...

Hannah4181 260 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Practical photography is a good magazine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oh and another tip, if your totally new to photography . . . . . go to the charity shops/boot fairs and try to find some old photography books, they will teach you all the "rules" of photography. Aperture, ISO, depth of field, shutter speed etc etc. In my opinion too many people today never learn the old fashioned ways of photography, it is very similar to digital but will allow you to create the images you want by using your camera to its full potential. Sports mode and auto settings will make you a lazy photographer! You need to learn the rule of photography in order to be able to break them to create. Best of luck with it. x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Have fun! The 70-300 lens will be good for wildlife and action shots, and the VR will be handy if there's not much light. A wider lens, something like 18-70 would be good for landscapes.
