Introduction:This is the first of many artistic adventures for the person interested in learning more about many areas of art. This list is centered around photography tips to help the beginner.

01
Research Your Ideas

Before you begin on any project it is important to research your ideas. Unless you do the leg and hand work, you could end up disappointed enough to not even embark on your artistic venture of photography. Take into consideration talking to experienced photographers who could be willing to give you unmeasured helpful information from their experiences. You will find most people are excited to share their knowledge and guide you as a beginner. If the conversation at a family gathering comes around to ask what you are doing, mention the ideas of photography as a hobby and artistic adventure. Let the discussion go from there and glean all you can from listening.
02
Proceed to Learn

Consider signing up for a short class of photography at your local college or high school. You will learn valuable tips from a proper source. Inquire from the Chamber Of Commerce where some classes can be secured or some groups perhaps congregating at the local library. Art is a skill and the best place to learn well and most quickly is from artists who know photography. Talk to friends and employees at your job to find the good places to learn more and at the price you expect to pay. Think about just going walking where you wish to photograph and you could meet like minded people taking pictures as you desire to do.
03
Buying Your Camera

Since a camera can be moderately to very expensive, it is a good idea to ask a lot of questions from sales people. Don't stop there and be persuaded to buy on the spot no matter what! You will need to consult with other people who own the camera you are thinking about buying. You can go on the internet and seek out comments from others, join a chat room or go to the manufacturers website to see the qualities you like about your choices of cameras you are thinking about. It is really a better idea to either know the person and how they took care of the camera when buying one second hand.
04
Practice With Your Equipement

When you first get your camera, practice with your equipment before giving in to buying all sorts of attachments. Think about the artistic subjects and your desire to capture them with photographs. The old adage of practice makes perfect applies to photography. Go out on a day to just have fun with your camera. Take some notes or put suggestions on the laptop or your cell phone. Give yourself some helpful criticism, but don't be too harsh on yourself that you don't keep experimenting with your equipment. You will enjoy the products of your efforts in time. Let your imagination engulf you.
05
Keep Going Do Not Give Up

There will be some photographs you will not like once they are taken. Do not give up, keep going and see that time will improve your creativity and cement your purpose of your photography ideals too. Practice is important in taking stills or using any camera for all pictures. Give yourself a day off if you find yourself getting annoyed. Review some photography notes to get back on the right track with your photography projects. Try different lighting, positions and most of all focuses your camera can allow you to get the shots you wish to see the next time you look at your photographs.
