Photography question.

#Post
1

I'm a beginner. Just did a year long online course so probably more intermediate.
I'm hungry to learn EVERYTHING.
Anyone suggest great classes, YouTube channels, books.
I'm looking for a mentor, anyone know where I can find one?
Also looking for meet up groups.
TIA

Do you mean taking photographs, lighting, camera settings, or processing film etc?

Digital or film is a world apart.

Taking photographs is easier than it has ever been with modern cameras, but colour manipulation and photoshopping is now more a computer issue than a photographic one.

Having a good eye is paramount for all aspects and where a mentor would be a great asset, but like all art, subjective or objective? May be a matter of opinion.

Would you mind sharing what online course you did, please?

There is a photography group/club that meets regularly in the city and around the place. I have a Devonport friend of a friend who goes with them, evenings I think. A decent camera shop should know of a local...
