im going to take photography for hcc next semester and i want to take photograph myself as a hobby but i dont know anything about camare if anyone can help me. like tellme witch one i should start of first or is best that would be great thank you

 

what's your budget?
what, if any, gear do you have now?
what type of photography are you interested in?
does your class have any requirements? film or digital?

answering these will help us help you

 

its film i dont want to spend 1000 but i want to us it for takin pics of cars and just things im interested in like cars, buildings, art, and the view of places and people

 

but i would want a digital too

 

i dont know about film but digital i would start with a Nikon D40 or a Canon Rebel XT
it will be around 5 or $600

 

oh ok thank you where can i find one at

 

If you think you're interested in Nikon gear, these items would give you an excellent start:
Nikon D80 (digital) - $600
Nikon F75 (film) - $170
Nikon 50mm f/1.8 - $110

The lens doesn't zoom, but that would allow you to concentrate on the basics of photography and it will work on both cameras.

The website I linked to is highly recommended.

 

ok thank you alot and i wanted to do anything to any pics i have to have a digital and photoshop right

 

I suggest u go to like Bestbuy/ Circuit city and talk to one of the employees in the Camera Section of the store..He should be able to point you in the right direction (hopefully)
