Newbie from Mesquite - 02-16-2010, 11:20 AM

I just bought a Canon XS Rebel to get started in Photography. What I need to know, and please don't flame me for asking, can or would anyone suggest taking a correspondence course for photography? My schedule won't allow for taking a college course and I really need something self paced. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums. Sorry I don't have an answer for you. Someone will pop in here and/or ask in another section. Peace and keep shooting.

A Big Denton, Texas Howdy to you!! Welcome to TPF. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. I have yet to see a photography correspondence course that I can recommend, but I've only been doing this for 40 years.
