Feels auspicious for my first post in The Dorkroom to be so early in the new chat thread.

Hi! I just bought a Canon 5D Mk III as my first real camera. I have no idea what I'm doing!

People keep asking me what I like to shoot, and I have no idea because I haven't taken any shots yet. My favorite photographer is Stacy Kranitz, though, so she is sort of an inspiration for me.

Hey so I took my first photos :toot:

I found some reddit course thing I'm going to try to work through that said to start with picking your favorite photo and a photo of a window, so of what I shot today I picked my favorite, and also here is the window pick.

These are nice! For beginners I always recommend this YouTube playlist its as much composition and techinque as it is operational basics, but whatever vibes with you and gets you out shooting!

These would be more than welcome in the landscape thread.

Thanks, I posted them there as well, and I will check out that playlist. I have a lot of videos queued. Also I bought a couple books for 2 bucks each yesterday. One is Photography by Bruce Warren which looks pretty good, like an old textbook, but it's pre-digital. And the second book is digital specific. No shortage of resources.

It's hilarious to me how many iconic natural landscapes have been taken from a car parking lot. Photographers are actually extremely lazy.
