Have a look at this link. It is the Dublin Camera Club and it runs a beginners course in September. There is a phone number on the webpage so contact them asap. Their courses fill up very quickly.
Regards and hope you enjoy the hobby.

Look here also.

John has given you some good advice there. First thing to remember, as you're starting off you don't need an expensive camera to take good photos. Also, what kind of photos do you want to take?

Have a look at Flickr or Pix.ie. They are great for giving you ideas and for learning how things are done.

Keep an eye on the Expenditions thread. Folk often meet up in town wo walk and take photos. Walkabours organized by Boardsies are free and you don't have to be a brilliant photographer. Just go along and enjoy the experience, ask questions and so on.

hey, Recently i also get an interest in photography, it started when i was about 14 when i got a point and shoot camera, and after several of those i finally bought an entry level DSLR last year. I bought the canon 1000d and i love it!! If your buying a SLR, shop around. at the time it was 600 in currys and 480 in argos!! Its even cheaper now and check out pixmania.ie they always have great deals! Photography is such a great interest and you'll always be learning, thats what i love about it.

Best of luck with it!

also.. if you could get your hands upon the book, SLR for dummies it'll give you alot of guidance and explain all the jargon and how to get the most from your camera.. also tutorials available on youtube are great.. this is where i have learned alot of the stuff i can do with my canon.
