Photography as a hobby can be as simple as taking photos of your kids or the dog, or you can explore the different types of photography, landscapes, portraits and much more. You can also explore other aspects of this hobby such as studio photography, scrap booking and making money with your photos.
The main thing needed for this hobby is of course a camera, and with so many different brands and types of camera's there is sure to be the perfect one for your needs and budget. If you are a beginner don't buy the most expensive advanced digital camera on the market, you will just be frustrated and not enjoy taking photos. The best thing to do is buy a higher quality of camera as your skill improves. The new simple point and shoot digital cameras are able to produce very nice quality photos. The one thing I do recommend is to get the highest number of pixels you can, and be sure to get a larger memory card then the one that comes with your camera. Ask your friends and family members why they like or dislike their camera. A hobby is about relaxation and enjoyment, not about how much you spend on the toys.
Like most aspects of our lives, photography has been greatly enhanced by the use of computers. There are photo editing programs that allow you to correct mistakes, enhance your photos, and create your own greeting cards. etc. Digital photography allows you to easily add your photos to the computer where they can be edited, emailed, added to blogs, or whatever else you need to do with them. Using computers to create digital scrapbooks is also another way to keep this hobby from getting too expensive, and now you can preview your photos and order only the good ones instead of having the whole roll of film developed.
Have fun and enjoy photography, learn how to use your camera and see where this exciting hobby will take you.
