Starting Photography Anonymous
Hey /p/
I'm bored on summer holidays for 3 months.
I just found my dad's Nikon D70 that he never uses and i went to http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d70/d70-settings.htm and taught myself the basics of this camera today and took a few photos...
Just want to know where to go to learn about photography on the net... what should i read etc?
btw, that site seems to have some good fundamental articles about photography but nothing much to detail...

thnks

yes i took a fuckload more but they are all pretty crappy, in terms of composition.. I'm just going to study up on lighting and composition for now..
If anyone has any good links or ebooks, please recommend them to me.

My god! What are you doing here? This board is only for half-assed idiots who don't give a shit about photography.

Go! STUDY! PRACTICE! Never darken the doors of /p again!

Its better than other pictures in /p/. Anyway, the best way to learn is to take a lot of pictures and critique them yourself. Learn the basic rules like the Rule of Thirds and when you gain enough confidence, break them. If you love podcasts, I recommend subscribing to "Tips from The Top Floor"; it cover many basics and I personally enjoy it.
