    Hi Guys,

    I was hoping that people here could give some advice to a photo n00b. I bought a Fuji F-10 a few months back (any opinions or experiences with this camera please do share) and have found that Im using it alot because its a fairly decent camera (I think anyway) and fairly compact. Ive found that sometimes Im not able to get the results I would like and Im assuming that is mostly due to the limitations of the camera or my limited understanding of the basic physics and technology for photography. Should I got on a photography course to learn the basics or is it like alot of things that practice makes perfect?

    Does anyone fancy reviewing my photo's any once in a while and giving me feedback or maybe micro-assignments etc?

    Dave

    Post up some of your pictures and let us see some of your work. :) There are better people to advise you than me but I always find experimenting is the best way to go and just use whatever tools you have at your disposal but a course in photography is no harm, where are you based?

    It's possibly a case of both practice makes perfect and go on a course if you don't get the fundamentals... Most just practice for 50 years or so until perfection arrives.

    By all means post some of your stuff and we can give some feedback.

    If it's technical stuff that's bothering you (like "Why did this come out dark and that light/blurred etc etc"), easiest way to learn is to show us the pics and we'll tell you how to fix 'em :D

    "Seeing" pictures is a mix of 3 things I'd say. The first is simply having an artistic or creative visual inclination, why I'm guessing you have if you want to get into photography more. Secondly, practice, getting to understand a correlation between what you see in front of you and what shows up in the picture. Then there's learning the fundamentals for composition/lighting/colours that you can pick up from tutorials and books, and also by studying other people's pictures that you like, and figuring out what makes them work.

    If you have some degree of manual control over your camera, there's probably a good bit of use in it for you before you get to the stage where it's holding you back.
