Want to learn about cameras

[justin22890]

I'm sort of new at photography and i want to learn more about cameras and how they work and i would really appreciate some help.

I think my first word of advise would be to get Peterson's book on Understanding Exposure. Really good read and foundation.

+1 on that. Bryan Peterson's book, Understanding Exposure, is a great, non-technical book that will give you a solid understanding of how to use your camera settings to consistently get the results you want. I recommend it to everyone starting out. It will be a book you read more than once as you learn.

Beyond that, get out and practice. Pick something you want to work on and ask for critique. That's how we all learn.

You list a Samsung as your camera. I assume it is what we call a point and shoot.

Are you interested in learning about DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras ?

Are you looking for a book, online classes, local classes or what?

Check out your local section to see if there are any meetups or gatherings. I learned a lot through that.

Your public library should have intro texts on photography. Peterson's book is quite popular, and I would also recommend a classic like Upton&Upton, which is used as textbook for intro to photography courses.
