Photography courses/classes question?
I'm confused. I have to choose between drawing and photography classes because I really want to fill my free time with something I really like. I'm keen on both of them. But I'm afraid I can't afford a professional camera and lens. Is that necessary? Do you learn all you need in photography classes or is practice essential? So the question is: Is it ok to start photography classes if you do not have a good camera or is it a waste of time?
Also I'm interested in what exactly do you learn and what tools do you use. For those who had courses, could you tell me what have you started with?
I'm confused. >.<
Some classes provide a camera, or let you "check out" a camera. I know people who went to Good Will and bought a camera to use in the class, because they weren't sure they liked photography enough to stick money into a new camera. You should make sure you know if you're doing a film class or digital class, as well, because with a film class you'll be developing. Some people catch on to developing a lot faster than others. While the class should be teaching you everything you need to know to do whatever projects the class requires, photography isn't completely cut and dry. Every combination of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO can have different results, so you'll need to work with your camera to get the desired effect. I took a photography class once with a camera that, while not it definitely was not the quality camera that everyone else had, I managed to have some of the best photos in the class. It all depends on how much time you want to invest in learning your camera, and working with whatever you have.
