The Ins and Outs of Taking Photos @ Dans Data

When it comes to taking photos there are two approaches that I've seen over the years.
1). Buy an expensive camera and every accessory you can find, then just tell everyone that are a professional. (Not ideal, but it happens all to often)
2). Buy a very good camera, spend a few bux and take some classes to learn how the camera works and what makes a good photo. (Best combo for anyone)

Of course there are combinations of the two like the rich kid that brings a $1000 camera to photo class and has no idea how to load the film. (I've actually seen this happen in my college days; sadly the expensive camera only got him a C.)

Either way you decide to go this quote from Dan's article really sums everything up.
"As I've written on previous occasions, the secret to great photography is very large amounts of bad photography."
So so true. Give the article a read, it's full of good stuff.
