Looking for someone to teach me the basics of photography

[Dimelda]

Hello: I?m looking for someone who can teach me how to use a good quality camera I?ve found during a clear-out - a FujiFilm Digital Camera, FinePix 350, bought I believe in approx.2011.

I have the Operating Instructions Manual ? but, as I?m not young & a complete novice (havn't used a camera for years) all too complicated for me! I live in Clapham Common & if there?s anyone out there who could give me a Tutorial, perhaps two or three, I?d be grateful. I have no idea of how much to pay ? suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks.

I learned Photography in the 70's

Black & White Film Photography. Chemical processing spending hours and hours in the Darkroom.

There is absolutely NO connection with Film Photography and Digital processing.

There are still Photographic Purists using Film.

It is expensive, VERY expensive..but when you understand how chemical processing works...

Over exposing under developing and the reverse to control Grain / Contrast

then there is nothing better.

Black and White has always been my preference.

You really have to decide which way you want to go.

I've got a very fancy camera, but being useless I just keep it on Auto and get very good results. A camera club will also teach you about composition and give you ideas about what sort of photography you might like to explore.
