Basic Photography For Kids
Which basic digital SLR should I choose?

Hi
I would like to get a digital SLR at some stage but am a bit overwhelmed by all the articles and adverts. I just want it for my own use, to have some good pictures of my kids and take interesting shots whilst out – so not a professional. Also, whilst I expect a learning curve, I don’t want to have to spend forever figuring out how to take a picture – so probably a basic model or some kind of hybrid with a compact. One of my main interests would be macro photography, so that is an important feature, and another interest would be portraits (either stationery, or with fast-moving kids!). Price wise it needs to be right at the bottom of the scale. A lot of my photos are taken indoors, and this seems to be where my compact really lets me down. Could someone recommend something along these lines and let me know if/what lens I would need.
Many thanks for your time and ideas.

I think you should go with Nikon D3000 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera
*10.2-megapixel DX-format imaging sensor for prints up to 20 x 30 inches
*Includes 3x 18-55mm Zoom-Nikkor VR Image Stabilization lens
*Nikon EXPEED image processing; in-camera image editing and Active D-Lighting
*3.0-inch color LCD screen; 170-degree wide-angle viewing

Important Things That Can Be Learned From Online Photography Courses For Kids

Throughout the world, the number of individuals who are getting interested in learning about photography is rapidly increasing. To add to this number, even kids are getting hooked to the skill. When asked about what she wants to do when she finishes school, my younger sister answers that she wants to be a photographer. This is why I am seriously considering enrolling her in one of the many photography courses that are available for kids. Since she does not have anything planned for the summer, I am thinking about getting this course for her so that she can learn more about this art.

But when I found out that it costs a lot of money, I decided to let her take an online course on photography. Through the online course, she is able to learn the basics about photography. I am really glad I let her take an online course instead of paying for a really expensive course. The online course that she took helped her learn the different things such as:

Experiment

Since good photos are often captured unplanned, it is best to keep experimenting. Through the online course, my sister got to see that there was nothing wrong with practicing on her shots. Even if she was taking random shots of objects, she is actually starting to practice taking steady shots and learning about the different angles of how she could take pictures. By experimenting, she learned how she could capture images the next time.

Focal Points

The online course also taught my sister about focal points and how they can use this to their advantage. Through the infamous rule of thirds, my sister got to learn how to place a subject on the center of the image even if it was not necessarily in the middle. She was able to learn that the focal point is the important part of the captured image.

Holding the Camera

Another lesson she learned through the course was how to hold the camera. Because of this, she was able to correct the way she held the gadget. If not, she could have formed this bad habit and kept it with her throughout the years.

Balancing the Camera

Before she took online photography courses, my sister did not know how to balance the camera. Thanks to the course, she got to learn how holding the camera played a role in balancing the shot.

If you have a younger sibling or child who is interested in taking photographs, always encourage them. Let them practice with a camera that’s not so expensive so they can grasp the concept of taking good photos. Even if they have captured a blurred image, always tell them that they have done good. Do not discourage them so that they know they can always learn by practicing. Believe it or not, this is the way professional photographers started out.

anyone who takes photography/ is a serious photographer?

can you describe a dark room for me?

and give me any basic knowledge on photography?
im writing a book, and the kid takes photography.
im taking it this year, but obv. the school year hasnt started for me.

ANY info will be great, general stuff

If you’re writing a book you need to do proper research. Asking questions like this on YA is not proper research. It’s a lazy substitute for getting out and doing something for yourself. Take the sensible advice above and go and look at a darkroom.

Need to buy 5-10 Digital Digital point and shoot cameras? Need to find the best quality for good price?

I’m doing photography workshops with adults and children. The kids really like running around, photographing each other breakdancing, doing ‘action shots’, so I need something a fast shutter speed and pictures that can be enlarged to A1 maybe even A0. Are there any good quality, easy to handle – cheap, point and shoots out there.. Cheap is important.

So many point and shoots to choose from I don’t know where to start for a really good basic camera with fast shutter speed…

Currently have 5 megapixel Kodak’s which are just not up to the job. Would like to spend £300 on 5 cameras would pay more if i could get a good deal on a larger quantity of cameras.

Can anyone recommend companies which do deals on bulk buying quanitites?
