What is a cheap digital photography camera?

photography 2 Comments »

Next year I’ll be taking a photography class in school. Considering my birthday is soon, I figured that I’d get it now. We really don’t have that much money, so what is a cheap (or decently priced) photography camera that takes good pictures? Thanks.

You may want to check with your counselor/teacher about what kind of camera you need. Are you sure you’re not supposed to have a 35mm FILM camera?

Be sure to check!!! At my HS, everyone has to have film cameras.

Anyway (happy birthday, btw–mine was Saturday), it depends on how much cash you have.

~less than $100–not sure I can help here. Check out craigslist for your area if you only have like $50 to spend. You can probably pick up a 5 megapixel camera for $20 or so

~$100-200 I suggest the Fuji s5700. It’s on sale at CIrcuit city right now for $150.

If you can afford a DSLR, go for it!

btw, I would stay far away from Kodak cameras. From my experience, they take the noisiest pictures ever!! (noisy meaning grainy)

Don’t shop just based on how many megapixels the camera features. Kodak, for example, is bad with this–their cameras usually offer high MPs for low prices, but you get what you pay for.

Once you find a model online that you think you’d like, check out www.flickr.com and look up the camera model to see some sample shots by that camera to see what it’s capable of.

Good luck!!

Starting into Photography, What is the best program for editing digital photos?

photography 6 Comments »

I have been told that Adobe Photo shop is the way to go but I really would like some input before I drop all that cash. I am looking into Portrait and nature photography. I would like to use one program only and I want to be able to do all sorts of things, for instance, adding hints of color to B&W images, changing filters etc… Any input would be helpful. If anyone has used Adobe tips would be welcomed too! Thank you so much.

I liked and used Corel Photo Paint for several years. Photo Paint is compatible with Photoshop, in that any plug-in you can buy for Photoshop is supposed to work with Corel Photo Paint.

The two programs don't work the same way — so when you're learning one, you're not learning the other.

In my opinion, Photo Paint is easier to use, and I prefer Photo Paint's methods for selecting areas/masking.

However, there's no substitute for Photoshop. Every photo magazine you pick up has a how-to using Photoshop. There are a million books on Photoshop in your local bookstore. There are several good online tuturials for it, also. You'll ultimately end up using Photoshop one day; there's no avoiding it.

For all the things you've said you want to do — adding color tints, adding filters, etc. — either program will work.

Looking for an Amateur Photography Contest?

So i've really gotten into photography in the last month and doing close-up, macro shots…and i think im getting good at it…

i think some of the pictures i've taken are worthy enough to win some money

i'm about to be a college student and i'm wanting some extra money…

anyone know of any decent amateur photography contests that rewards a decent amount of money per picture???

betterphoto.com

They offer monthly theme contests with equipment prizes,
and also have cash prize contests that vary.

I use the site, and have won before, so it's not a scam.

Good luck.
