i guess im 16 too

didnt know there were so many of us

:mrgreen:

anywho i suggest shooting in manual mode to start because through manual mode i learned what kind of effects aperture, shutter speed, iso, and white balance did

o and learning how to use the light meter on your camera is always a big help...i still remember the day i learned what a light meter was :cheer:

hope this helps

Try to find a local camera/photography club. I know my local photo club is very open to beginners and age doesn't matter. Getting a chance to check out other photogs' techniques and equipment is always fun and you might learn something.

Wow, this place is overrun in 16 year olds. O_O

...not that that is a bad thing, of course.

I'll be 37 soon. I wish I had discovered photography when I was 16.

I was 14 about 3 weeks ago

Skatng is my main kind pf photography that i do- and then mainly landscape (ill be up at 4.00AM tomorow to catch the sunrise) If you have any skating pictures post them up! its good seeing other peoples photos other than the people that just snap them,
