Many years ago I own a point and shoot digital camera and use it to take pictures of my family. What frustrated me the most is that the pictures will always turn out blurs esp night and indoor shots and most of my pictures got spoilt because of this. It's then I started to take photography little bit more serious. You know I thought to myself, when I am old (not that I am any younger), I will only have the pictures with me to remember all the good memory so I decided to invest my first prosumer camera (not DSLR yet) an Olympus 570 uz and later upgraded to a Nikon DSLR.
Your journey for beautiful photo has now moved to another level. From camera phone to Point and Shoot to DSLR..
When you purchase a DSLR camera, you are not just buying a camera. You are actually buying a system. The lens, the filters, the flashgun, and so on. This is the cool thing about DSLR. The are so many combination that suite different type of shooting condition. Once you decide on the brand you can start add on the additionals stuffs and if one fine day when you decided to change the camera instead of the changing the whole system, you can just change the camera body and use back all the same equipment.
So what's next...?
Go out there and take as many shots...!
but before you do that, here are some suggestion or tips on learning to use a DSLR Camera.
Read the user guide that comes with the camera. I find this is very useful and it will help you tremendously to be familiarise on what you new camera can do. PLEASE READ and Don't be lazy.
Get someone who know more than you do about DSLR. You will learn faster this way. I started picking up fast when I had a friend who is so into this. I 've learn a lot things from him in a short time.
Buy a monthly camera magazine. There are alot of cool tips and tricks that you can learn from these magazine and it only cost RM10. I would recommend two of my favorite, Digital SLR Photography and Digital Camera Malaysia. Get the local distributed copy as it cheaper compare of overseas copy. It is also good to get some books and guide lines on photography. Read as many stuffs and in no time you be an expert.
Youtube has a lot of stuffs on Photography. This is the best place to learn photography online. So many cool videos. Just type Photography and wala..! Go and explore.
Finally, and yes NOW! you can go out and take as many shots you can. If wont cost you a cents. Just take and take, practice and experiment your shots and probably out of 100, there is one or two shots that stands out the rest and that shot is worth it.
