Hello..

Basically, all my life i've looked and been inspired by so many Photographers all over the world, i've admired many pictures and i've always wanted to take my own and be a great photographer.

I have no clue about cameras or pictures for that thought, im basically asking someone to help me along the right lines.. Tell me where I can get my self a very sharp camera to take eye-like images which is also relatively cheap, i need like tips and tricks on taknig photos, for example I know that at a museum if you take a photo directly at a glass cabinet it gives off a flash or something like that.. Basically im a complete idiot when it comeas to photography so if theres any tutorials or wise words or anything anyone can do for me that would be great..

Thanks guys.

Check them out, they might help, and as a newbie to photography too, this is what I think:

I'm quite new to photography too, and yeah I do it as hobby too.
I've got the Canon EOS 400D, and I absolutly love it, its great, it feels great when its in your hands, its reliable, cabable of producing HDR shots... Its a all round great beginners camera, I picked mine up from Duty Free in Gatwick Airport for about £350 with a 4GB Memory Card, and its been worth every penny. Hope this helps.

Fee free to check out some of my photo's I've posted up here, to give you an idea of the quality.

High Quality Digital Camera's are relatively cheap now days.
Easily get 8.0+ Megapixel for about $99.00 USD.
Obviously the higher Megapixel - The better the Quality of photo.
Also a High ISO setting can come in handy for moving, motion captures.

Today there is a lot of Tutorials and Helpful video tutorials on YOU TUBE.
Showing a lot of simple tips, main difference of how to take a good picture and how not too.

A tripod IS A PHOTOGRAPHERS BEST FRIEND! Not only for still shots, but also video recording!

I would advise watching a few basic tutorials and try setting a goal of taking 50 pictures a day.
Go back through them and save the best 3-5 pictures everyday.
Soon you would get a feel for not only mass picture taking, but also revise, reanalyze, and reusing photoshots.

Angle and Lighting are so vital and can be manipulated so many ways! Just takes practice like most things.
