whatever7 posted:IMO shooting 3000 photos is better than reading a photography book. You need a starting point with basic knowledge, that's what the book will give you. Taking 3000 photos and staring at them having no vocabulary or language to describe what you're seeing and how it should be improved is a great shortcut to giving up on photography forever. Edit: You're right, a low-end DSLR would be much better, but if he's going to get the S110 he might as well spend some time learning to use it. It's a decent package with a lot of manual controls.

You can get to the point where you're reading more about photography than actually doing it (I've been guilty of this), but I agree with what you're saying Mathturbator. A good book can really jump start your photography/help you improve/get past plateaus. One of my favorite books I've read when I first started out was The Photographer's Eye, which is a book on composition. Honestly, I mentally refer back to that book every time I take a shot. Personally, I think things are easier to learn on a DSLR, but don't let only having access to a point and shoot stop anyone. I really wanted to get into photography in the late 90's but being a kid with no money, the prohibitive cost of film then later the cost of a DSLR stopped me. I waited 8 years until I finished HS, finished college, got settled into a job, and saved up money for my first rebel. I mistakenly thought that if I wanted to learn photography, I had to do it in a DSLR. Now I know that's not true and wish I was shooting seriously the whole time.

Really though, there's all sorts of different photography. What kind of pictures do you like to shoot? There's Outdoor, Street, Night, Close ups, Food, Social, Lighting, Fashion, Art, Etc... Some goons here just wanted to take pictures of drinks. Some their kids. Different types requires different techniques. So it really depends on what you are looking for. One thing is true. Your initial photos look like poo poo and looking back you would feel grossed out by them

I figured that I needed a DSLR if I wanted to get into photography, which I now know is baloney. Looking back, I wish I just bought an affordable manually controllable point and shoot years earlier to learn on instead of waiting until I had money for gear. I started by reading up on composition even if exposure seemed to be a mental block to me. Given that I had an iPhone 4S when my photography itch hit a couple years back, and given the S-series much less a DSLR were out of my price range at the time, I just started shooting (lots of) smartphone shots with an eye for composure and hoped focusing the screen in different areas on the default app (or using AE/AF lock) would work. Then I looked at apps that gave just a bit more control (although it's still all black-box) and looking into tweaking in post. I'd agree that just shooting lots is a good way to learn and given you will always have the camera with you, also figure out if you actually like photography. With a smartphone I will say it gives you an appreciation for the better options/capabilities of P&S (which would presumably then be the same story for moving to DSLR). No better way to later appreciate a macro mode or optical zoom then having your iPhone lens within an inch of a sleeping fatass spider in a web. Now that I'm comfortable with composition I'm pushing myself to learn exposure, and going with the S-series because I don't want to throw a whole bunch of money into something I'm not sure if I'll like. With an S110 at $200 (or more generally an S90/95/100 at reasonable secondhand/last-gen prices), even if I don't end up improving until it limits me and I'm ready to jump into DSLRs, I'll have a good automatic camera that my wife and I can both use that would make sense to keep anyway. I'd also consider the G-series if the price was right but pocketability wins out there. Kenny Logins fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Feb 20, 2014 |

If you want to learn photography, get an used SLR and a 35mm/1.8 lens. I guarantee you can find a bundle under 300. Much fast than reading a book and then learn on a P&S. If you want to enjoy photography as a hobby, just go shoot pictures. You don't need to read a book to enjoy a hobby. Being better at something doesn't make you enjoy a hobby more. There is no correct way to enjoy a hobby.

You realize that, for many people, getting better is part of enjoying a hobby? Like, hobby woodworkers want to make a good table that won't fall over instead of just going at a block of wood with some chisels and hoping for the best. Most hobbies involve learning about something, learning how to do it, and then doing it and getting better.

There's also the sheer proliferation of easy-to-use, relatively inexpensive omnipresent digital camera devices that essentially make photography a hobby for everyone in 2014 if "just shoot pictures" is anything to go by. It's kind of like saying if you want to start writing as a hobby then just go jot down grocery lists or whatever. People snap (often terrible) shots simply to document literally everything and anything they do, and we live in a society where a "selfie" is now a phenomenon. I think that if you want to avoid having reading up on photography be a "requirement" just to take up the hobby, then maybe I'd say to hang out and talk with people who know what they're doing in terms of composition and/or exposure. Expose yourself to photos that you feel you like and are drawn to and either research or else ask why it is they seem so striking. Much as I'd like to pick up an old SLR kit and shoot film there's really something to be said for the ease, inexpense, immediacy and practicality of shooting digital when you're trying to learn things. It's kind of funny because between my wife and I she is really drawn to the "gadget" aspect of having a big cool DSLR (for her to use on auto mode all the time) where I'm the one who wants to take reasonable steps to get there.

I think most people get into photography because they see an awesome photo/s and think to themselves "drat I would like to make something like that" or maybe they feel it's their duty to preserve something and they would like to do a good job of it (family, culture, events, etc.). If you just want to go shoot pictures and hope the dice hits and you get a good picture, then you're not really into photography. You're just a person with a camera. There is nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't call it a hobby at that point. Sure there are people who are naturals (or non-photography visual artists) that need very little instruction, however I think most people could use help. This is especially true if you have no art background what so ever. Good to hear! I think you make a good point about understanding and appreciating what your camera can do before upgrading. It's better to hit a technical wall, then buy gear, instead buying gear for technical boundaries that may or may not be an issue in your photography.

My theory is most people who buy beginners for XYZ books enjoy the idea being good at something but deep down inside doesn't care about the hobby that much. Videogames are designed to not need a book to get into though. It's a crafted experience like a movie. Even then, and moreso for movies than videogames admittedly, there's a whole level of criticism and analysis that's inherently a part of the "hobby." For people who really love it, a deeper understanding enhances the experience. And you absolutely do need to read or learn through some other means for many hobbies. I'd argue most. And with most, being good at it and getting better isn't just a thing to impress your friends (unless you're somehow broken.) It's just part of enjoying the hobby. Woodworking, car projects, knitting, origami, poetry, whatever. Or playing an instrument. Maybe just loving around will be satisfying for a few minutes, but having it become something you're interested in long term is probably going to involve learning a bit.

Reading a book is nice if you need to know step X + Y to get result Z. Which if you're new, you will probably need. The biggest problem as a newbie is finding someone to honestly criticize your work. Facebook and Flickr are full of people who just got into photography and will never improve because no one ever told them they sucked. The critique thread was great for that. Why did that ever go away?

# ? Feb 20, 2014 17:24 |

Telling someone who wants to improve at photography that they have to go out and buy a dSLR and lens kit is incredibly terrible advice. Gear does not make the photographer. It's way, way more important to have something that you're willing to take out and actually take pictures with on a regular basis.

I feel like you're right in some ways and wrong in others. I do think I've learned a lot by taking literally thousands of photos over the past year or so. However. I also learned a lot of things just spending a few hours reading Understanding Exposure that could have taken thousands more photos to realize (for example, I had no idea that f2.0 on my TG-1 P&S is equivalent to a much higher f-stop on a DSLR or that the middle f-stops allow a lens to take higher quality photos). I think a lot of budding photographers buy a camera and take a bunch of photos, then wonder why they didn't come out the way they wanted. Why is my background out of focus? Why are these photos washed out? How come this photo is so blue? I think it's natural for many people to just give up, assuming that they need a better camera for really good photos or they just don't have the talent for it. It can be discouraging to figure out everything by trial and error.

Krispy Kareem posted:Reading a book is nice if you need to know step X + Y to get result Z. Which if you're new, you will probably need. There are two sides to photography. One side is the technical, which revolves around knowing how to use your gear and understanding the behavior of light. This is the easiest part of photography to master and can be done by reading those X+Y=Z "recipe" books along with some practice. You only really need to read a few of those types of books to understand how things work, after that it's all about experience. The other side is the artistic, which is the most important and hardest to master. You can get to the point where you're perfectly happy with your technical skill, however, you should never want to stop improving your artistic skills no matter how good you are. There are lots of books out there that are more philosophical and go more into the "why" of shooting. Books like these can change the way you approach the craft and can help you improve in ways you'd probably never find out on your own. A good example (and one of my favorite books) is Within the Frame: The Journey of Photographic Vision by David duChemin. Read that book and tell me you didn't learn anything. Honest critique is a good thing for any body of any skill level, however, if you want it to be useful, you need to get critique from someone who is better than you. If you're new to the craft that's going to be almost any body around here. The longer you've been shooting, the harder you need to look for people to critique you. I think a lot of goons in his forum got really good and to the point where they weren't getting valuable feedback from the thread. They're at the point where they need to carefully chose their critique-rs and not just rely on who ever feels like posting in the thread at that particular moment. Maybe what we need is to set up one on one critique thread or something. I wouldn't mind doing that for another goon and there are certain goons around here who I would like to learn something from. Edit: Wait uhh the critique thread is still there and it seems like it's in good shape. Haggins fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Feb 20, 2014 |

I am just recommend against learning photography and using a P&S at the same time. P&S has a lot of helper wheel features on it that are 1) blackbox operation and 2) just there to make you feel awesome. Ok Sunset mode, WTF does it do? boost contrast? HDR? exposure to the highlight? Nobody knows? So you took a decent picture with that mode, so what did you do? You don't know! Secondly, vast majority of the P&S are not designed to used outside of the full auto mode. I have used P&S that it only have 2 actual aperture setting, wide open or f/8. All the other aperture was simulated (I think it was a Fuji F20. Yes the advertisement said it has aperture priority and you can control the aperture. But can you really?) Also flash mode, is it front or rear curtain sync? You can't even find out in the manual, you have to shoot something moving to find out yourself. Not only do most of the manual functions not enjoyable to use but also hard to translate to operation on an advance camera. There are only very few P&S control layout designed with photographer in mind, the Canon G series for example. Basically I think learning photography on a P&S is not enjoyable. It's like instead of learn manual shift on a sportscar, you have to learn stick shift on a truck. It's not fun, its not enjoyable. It will make you think less of the hobby.

For every person like you who finds basic cameras too limiting when they start there are 50 people who jump right in, buy a dSLR and then essentially abandon it in 6 months because they have no idea how to use it. Telling someone to do the latter because point and shoot cameras have fewer manual controls than a dSLR is staggeringly awful advice.

I mean the whole reason the thread title has "buy an s100" in it is because it, like the sony rx***, is geared at "enthusiast" shooters and has all those nice features like curtain sync (it even describes it in the manual!). You can even shift them to those weird modes like "M" and "Tv" and ignore the fancy arty things completely.

Oh, and I suggest checking out how the WiFi works before buying. Not how well, but how. On my RX100II (which is pure awesome BTW), the camera creates a new wireless network that you have to connect to, and open an application that pulls the images from the camera. I thought it would connect to my home wifi and ship the files via FTP, but that's not how it works. Turns out it's easier and faster to pull the SD card and shove it into my computer.

I think there's a balance here. I do agree that (most) P&S cameras hide a lot of the camera's operation from you, which might prevent someone from gaining more knowledge about photography in general, because they'll just select whatever setting the camera suggests and use it. alternatively, they might simply grow disillusioned by the camera's limits showing up in their photos and think that they lack talent. I have a TG-1 and I've found it increasingly irritating to use as my skill (and ideas!) have grown. I do find myself struggling to understand my camera's internal logic, as it seemingly randomly picks apertures and shutter speeds, often causing two photos taken in sequence to look completely different. I feel like I'm constantly trying to trick it into doing what I want. That being said, I think Grack has a good point. I don't think I would have learned nearly as much if I started on a DSLR, simply because I wouldn't have really known where to start and I would have felt intimidated to use the camera. I probably would have taken way fewer photos: using a DSLR feels more "serious" somehow, than just snapping things with your P&S, and it feels like only really worthwhile photos should be taken. DSLRs also feel more valuable, ostentatious, and fragile to a beginner. Having a simple P&S made me feel confident enough to shoot a lot. I sort of feel like your car analogy could be reversed. Learning to drive stick on a sports car would be intimidating and discouraging, while learning to drive on a modest sedan would be a lot less stressful and let you focus on the basics. When you start noticing the limits of the sedan, then you could look into getting something with more control and features.

So, if I'm on f2 on an RX100, it would be more like f8 on a DSLR?

You can use this website: http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html to figure it out.
