Yes definately. Stick to taking photo's of things that you enjoy taking photo's of. I loved natural history photography when I was growing up and was really good at it. Then I got a job on a cruise ship photographing people and my camera became more of a hinderance than enjoyment. I gave it up in the end and until 6 months ago, I worked in IT. I start work as a taxi driver tomorrow, so thats another big career swerve. Anyway, just enjoy it as much as you can. You can do some great stuff with it.

You need to take photos of what you think is right. A good thing to start with is film, because with film you learn to take pictures carefully because you only have a set amount of exposures in a roll. It will help you set up your shots correctly and think about the photo. Start with a simple SLR. These are the best to learn on because it makes you learn how to use light correctly. Also in my opinion NEVER USE FLASH, it gives the picture an unnatural look. Use flash only when you want an effect that flash will give. Keep trying and you will succeed.

I would say get a digital SLR that way u will not waste money on buying film all the time. & practice pratice practice. I would say start taking pics of landscapes then move on to animals then fireworks etc pratice makes perfect! Good Luck to ya! Also try to go & take some classes on photography that should also help you. or if u can't do that then the next best thing is look online for some free lessons. There is an online school that has free tips & more i think its scp or something like that. just google online photography school.

For starters, take pics of things you enjoy. I suggest leaving flash photography alone in the beginning. If you can afford a camera that has manual controls, get one. If you cannot afford a digital slr, film slrs or rangefinder cameras can be found dirt cheap now and will teach your more about photography principles than an automatic camera. Also, look at a lot of photographs by others that you enjoy. Start looking at them as a student would, trying to figure out exactly how they got the results in the pictures.
