Happy Early BD present for Hollywu
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2018 7:02 pm
Akiko, Sadako and I decided we all wanted to go in and get Hollywu something special for her upcoming BD. We know she's been looking at digital cameras and had really gotten close to getting one around Christmas but other stuff came up and she passed it by. So today she finally got her Canon EOS Rebel T6 kit. It's the basic things and we still need to get her a camera bag and a few other little camera type accessories she might need. Anyhow, she came home and she and the battery both needed charged so we made her take a nap with us. The camera battery and she are both charged now and she's installed the stuff on the computer and is all excited and keeps saying, "There's so much I need to learn!" She has told us so many times that with us here and being on the forum and getting to see what other folks do has made her really care more about trying to make her photos better.
I know there are so many resources and so much info here but I am curious... Do any of you have any books on photography you recommend - ones about using the Canon EOS Rebel T6/modern digital cameras in general or even just ones about portrait photography/animal photography/etc.? Also, have any of you taken any on-line classes that you thought helped? Or even maybe a class at a community college or parks and recreation like we have in Arizona? Akiko keeps after her that she should go take a class with actual people just to get her out to meet more people. She seems to be in a rut lately and maybe that might help.
Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
Hugs,
Rari
PS - One more question... What other little things should we try and get her for her camera that she may need? We have a tripod but we all just realized it is a tiny one that she was using on a table for stop action filming before we arrived! LOL!
