Help an "Amateur?" Rose !!cstqcwqMpkY
I've never really thought of myself as an amateur photographer. But when I come here I realize how little I know.

Shutter speed and Aperture, different lenses, what settings to use in what condition, Pretty much all I do is trial and error until it looks good, but that wont do if I've only got one shot.

Can anyone give me a "run though" of the essentials? I mean, I understand the rule of thirds, and I can compose a good shot, but I dont really get little details like what I listed.

Also, do you have to have an expensive camera to be a good photographer? All I have right now is an old pocket sony cyber-shot that I recently took apart and fixed because a circuit burnt out in it. I want to buy a good digital photography camera with a nice zoom, but I've only got 100 dollars right now. I could get more, but what would I need to buy that will last me even when I'm out of the "beginner" stage?

The secret to handling the camera is reading the fucking manual.

>Do you have to have an expensive camera to be a good photographer
No, great shots can be made with a P&S and even those Kodak disposables and likewise, having a good camera doesn't mean you'll be able to use it to take great photos.

do you want a camera with a zoom or lenses?
if you want a dslr, buy a low-end canon or nikon
if you want a point and shoot, but something like a panasonic fz18.

Whatever kind makes you less of a nigger.

Protip: You didn't take apart a cyber-shot and "fix a burnt out circuit in it."

If you have $100, go buy a used film slr. You're not going to get a good digital camera for $100.

Also, sage for hopefully epic troll.
