re: Official Photography Thread. ♥

So, I was wondering...
What's an affordable camera that's good to start out with? I have a Sony Cybershot wx150 at the moment. I'm very new at photography, but trying my best to learn. I'd like to be able to take clear photographs, where the background is not in focus. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

No I know, the second part was to her   But on your edit his skin is over, compared to her previous edits.

I'm a Canon girl. Some are Nikons. I'd personally go with the Canon t3 as as starter.

I can not really tell because 1) I still have trouble telling and 2) My laptops colors are off.

Quoting Mrs.Dani:" Thanks! I have been playing around more in photoshop lately. I think my picture taking skills have improved also."

Thats mostly what I was referring to! Makes a huge difference when you shoot manual eh?

Quoting Larry!:" I think you have too!"

Thanks. You should see what I thought was a good photo... It was bad... I mean BAD.
