New To Photography

[Bullmastiff Addict]

After being told by some fellow exhibitors that i had taken Awesum shots from our championship show a few weeks back it has inspired me to start learning photography.

i absolutely love the pics charlotte reeves, ruthless, and Serena photography take and would love to be able to learn how to take pics like they do. I'm a complete novice and have no idea, i just point and shoot and hope atm

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where and how to start learning, atm i have a cannon 550d and just the basic lenses that came with it, id like to upgrade once my pics are up to scratch.

thanks heaps

best tip?practice, practice, practice , and enjoy!

I remember when Ruthless herself was learning and she too loved the work of Charlotte Reeves and wanted to know how to take photos like her. So that should encourage you to pursue your dream because she's now been able to make a business out of it and now has people admiring her work (me being one of them) Good luck.

Thanks guys,

i only have a photo bucket account atm, and was reading that the clarity of pictures between there and Flickr is a whole heap better, so got to make myself an account there and then share some of my pics so far
