Hi everyone I've been getting somewhat interested in photography in general lately and thought I'd look up a forum to get some help. I found an old Nikon EM as well as a few extras that I know nothing about and want to take up photography for fun. Assuming I know nothing about photography, can anyone give me a link for a beginner's guide or something like that? Thanks in advance!
I keep on clicking on the link but keep going in a circle!! I think your link is broken.....<sigh>...... i'm only going to try it 40 more times before I give up. uh.....what?
DSLR_Noob's learnnig guide for noobs that are noobier than he...... (assuming no knowledge of photography) What you'll need : -A camera(the Nikon EM is the camera) -1 reel of Film (unexposed) -2 hands(2nd hand optional, but preferred) -eyes(in working condition) Step 1: open the back of your camera by lifting the little little knob all the way on the top left up as high as you can. Step 2: place the film cartridge inside the camera with a little bit of film pulled out you probably messed up............... try again that's not the film cartridge that's a battery...... you know what, you're making this difficult. It's almost like you know nothing about photography. I give up.....
rule 1 google is your friend... use it dont abuse it (really abuse it? hmm i dont think you can...) rule 2 SEARCH tool is your friend.. USE IT rule 3 people are happy to help, and those who are jerks well just ignore them rule 4 learn on your own just play around if you hear a cracking noise chances are you should stop
It appears the above posters are having a laugh for the weekend. Use the search options to the top right. You should be able to get the first few questions answered, then phone in again.
