newbie

Hi everyone, quite new to photography but I want to upgrade to the newer camera, I have an old 1000D, so I want to sell it first. How much it costs? I know it's a 2008 model, which explains why I can't find an actual price for this thing.

I just signed up to TPF. I’m 69 years old and have been shooting photos since I was 16. In my younger days, I produced some very good images, but as I’ve aged, my eyes have lost their ability to see sharply on a consistent basis. I’m also starting to wobble a bit, but unlike a Weeble, I do...

Hi everyone, Really need some advice. Looking at stepping into the world of photography by getting my first “serious” camera. Been doing a lot of research and I’ve narrowed it down to 2 cameras. The Fujifilm X-T30 and the Sony A6400. I’m buying a camera predominately for travelling and so...

I'm a pet photographer, just starting and a local dog groomer approached me saying she wants to book me for an entire day to do mini sessions with her clients.

I retired from the US military in 2015 after having served 28 years. Over the course of my military career I'd often felt the calling to take my photography beyond taking the occasional weekend snap but was often overcome by the requirements of duty. In February of 2017 I decided to take the...

Hi, often I set my camera on black and white while photographing – I think I can see the photo better in the camera screen this way, not sure if it's wrong or it just doesn't affect anything at all. So when I'm editing I often check the photo both ways and I have a hard time deciding each way to...

Hello everyone! I joined this forum to gain tips and knowledge as I set out to hone in on my practice in the area of photography. I'm currently looking at purchasing a camera, and a friend recommended a DSLR over mirrorless (for now). I told him I would be doing a lot of outdoor shots, mostly...

Hello guys, I am going to be honest with you. I am new at photography and I am trying to learn everything from videos and forums. But I noticed that I am pretty bad with photo editing softwares. So my question is which one is better for newbies to start with and invest in. Or i should start with...

Hey everyone! My name is Alex and I'm hardly a professional. I've been doing photography as a passive hobby for about five years. A couple months ago I got into film and it changed the way I look at photography as an art. I'm really enjoying photography in a way I don't think I was able to...

I always loved to casually snap photos whenever I go, and recently decided to take that important step of getting a fully manual camera. D3300 was the lucky winner, and I went out into the night to begin experimenting with all the fancy dials and settings. Some photos were heavily under-exposed...

Introducing myself as a new comer to this forum and new comer to photography. Hi, I'm Alise! I firstly noticed my interest in capturing just random things when I acquired a Samsung Galaxy 4 in about early 2014 ( as silly as that sounds). I then had the chance to go on a road trip to Kazakhstan...

Hi! I'm a newbie photographer. No background in photography. I only do self study, and so far I learned to balance ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. I do get good photos (I think), and I learned from previous thread that I created, to appreciate the limits of my gear and use it to its full...

A little about me - I started getting into photography and being a photographer around 2008. I took classes at the community college, but didn't take anything further than that at the time.
