Thanks for the reply Garry, I am currently saving up for one of the 15″ frames, so when I get it I will let you know what I think.

I like the idea of the digital frames, they can be a great present. I don’t have much experience of them, and I am sure they are improving all the time, but I did find the image quality wasn’t fantastic on the few I looked at a while ago. I am sure they have improved a lot since then though.

Thanks for the interesting articles Garry. I have always been a bit scared of manual mode on my camera. I get some good shots in auto mode so I really ought to take the plunge and play a little more and hopefully get even better results. thanks again for all you wonderful tips.

By the way, what is your take on the new Digital Frames such as found here http://www.udiggit.com for displaying your work.

Thanks. I found an online class with Adorama that I may look into.

Hi Sammi, I guess it depends how you learn best. If you are totally green then joining a class where other people are learning too may be a good idea as you can help each other and as long as the course teacher is a good one you should learn a good deal.

I just purchased a Mamiya 645E, and I am a completely green photographer. So, your articles have really helped me to understand aperture, relation to shutter speed, etc. My question to you is, would you recommend that I just learn the meaning of all the parts, ie: apertured, and experiment, or should I start with a basic photography class? Thanks in advance for your time.

A DSLR will give you so much more versatility and quality, but it’ll also hurt the bank balance when you start seeing all those nice lenses available that you just have to have

Thanks, Garry. I’ve tried a bit before, didn’t really get any better results, but I guess I should experiment more.

I’m planning on buying a professional dSLR within these two months, so your recent article gave answers to the question I’m asking every photographer I know

Yeah, I do. Once you understand what aperture and shutter speed do, and have the ability to set the manually, it’s well worth having a go with fully manual.

Just experiment and remember what you change each time so you get to learn how the picture gets affected.
