On this page, I'll include some ideas on how to get started in Digital Photography.

Digital Photography should not be intimidating. Anyone can pick up this hobby in a fairly short period of time.

Getting Started:

Step 1: Select a camera that suits your needs. Price is important, of course, but don't select a camera with less than one megapixel of resolution or your money will be wasted.

Sony Mavica MVC-FD90

Step 2: Insert your storage media.

Step 3: Select a subject (be creative).

Step 4: Check your lighting and exposure, and shoot away!

Step 5: Tkae your pictures back to your digital darkroom (computer) and make your touch-ups.

Optional: Send your files to be printed.

Tools and Materials

Camera (I recommend the Sony Mavica line for both quality and ease of use), storage media (IBM Microdrive, Flash Media, Sony Memory Stick, floppy disks or cdr disks), and a computer with image editing software (Adobe PhotoDeluxe, PhotoShop, or other).

Terminology

Resolution: The number of image pixels in a photo.
Pixels: The tiny squares of color which make up your photo.
