Bailey9 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi, after many many months of researching I finally bought a DSLR!! I decided on the Olympus e520. As I am new to the world of DSLR I was thinking about investing in one of the "how to" guides. Does anyone have any recommendations for one that is suitable for a beginner? Does anyone have the "Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies"? What are peoples thoughts on this book? I would love to do a few classes, but as I live out in the country this is not something that is an option for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any recommendations on a book for you, but I'd be searching the net for photography tutorials or joining one of the many photography forums - either a general digital group or an Olympus specific one (since the Olympus 'four thirds' system is quite unique) http://www.flickr.com/groups/olympus_e500/discuss/ http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=olympus+e http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1022 I'm sure there are many more - those sites are just a few that I hang out in Have a search on You Tube for Photography tutorials - some I've seen there are quite good. Also, ask questions in groups like this one - I haven't been here long, but it's obvious to me from the discussions and photographs I see posted, that there's plenty of amazingly talented guys & girls here that I'm sure would love to help you out. Other than that, shoot, shoot, shoot, become familiar with your camera & have fun Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
