Start by buying a reasonably priced camera. You can get good quality photos from a mid-grade camera and won’t break the bank. Begin with a cheaper camera and work up.

Learn everything you can about your camera. Read the owner’s manual carefully.

Take pictures everyday and don’t be picky about your subject(s). Take your camera everywhere you go. Don’t leave home without it.

Fill the frame with your subject, if you are taking portrait shots.

If you are using a digital camera, don’t spend a lot of time looking at the display, just take pictures. Delete the ones you don’t like immediately.

Sign up for a class or go to a photography seminar. Associating with like-minded folks is a great way to share photography ideas.

Relax and enjoy your new hobby. There is no telling where it might lead you.
