Many areas have camera swap meets, or camera shows. I've seen a lot of them held every few months or so in fire stations and in rented halls. You might try searching on camera shows and see if you can find one there. If you can't find anything there, then (I don't know where you live) if you have a large meeting area - like a convention center, or a hotel with a huge ballroom that they rent out, then search on those places. They occasionally have camera shows, and they always post upcoming events because they want to get people to attend. (Like, search on the Javits center in NYC, for example.)

There are also camera magazines (try finding them at Barnes and Noble, or other large book stores) and they sometimes list upcoming camera conventions.

I have no background/experience with photography, but can anyone give me an idea what camera should i use?

I am particularly looking for a semi pro digital SLR camera that is both "newbie" and "pocket" friendly. My friend told me that electronics are more affordable if you buy in Singapore than in Manila. Ideas anyone? Thanks so much!

p.s. thanks to your answers guys! been really helpful! :-)

I am particularly looking for a semi pro digital SLR camera that is both "newbie" and "pocket" friendly....

Answer: I use an Olympus E1 because it is a "Pro" model that was released several years. Olympus has several models that are very good SLR's with EXCELLENT economy lenses. Soon to be discontinued but very user friendly and selling at bargain prices right now is the model E500 (also known as EVolt 500). New models in the past few months are the E400, E410 and E510 with limited availability in different regions of the world (avoid the E300). Their economy "kit" lenses are some of the best in that category and they also have "Pro" and "Super Pro" lenses that are stellar.

Although Olympus is not as well known as some of the other brands I have had long ecperience with the company. They have more experience in electronics than most of the other manufacturers AND make some of the best optics in the world (they have a significant presence in medical equipment like microscopes, etc.). Most important they give excellent value and are frequent inovators. ALL Olympus DSLR's have a dust reduction system which other makers have finally introduced in the past few months. Dust can be a BIG headache in SLR's because it gets on the sensor and shows up in the finished images.


My friend told me that electronics are more affordable if you buy in Singapore than in Manila. Ideas anyone?

Answer: This depends on where you are. Warranty service varies from country to country and manufacturer or distributor. Also be aware of VAT type taxes, import duties and shipping costs which add to the cost. Plus you need to make sure you are dealing with some one you can trust/depend on.

P.S. Do not get dragged into the # of Megapixels, argument there is MUCH more to digital photgraphy than megapixels...

What Unique Type of Photography Backdrops Can Mountains Make to a Small Village?

Artistic photography requires the use of a large amount of adjacent items that contribute to the general artistic impact on the viewer. Here we refer to the use of photography backdrops that usually consists of pieces of cloth with various designs that are hung in the background to make performance possible. There can be buildings, countryside landscapes, cityscapes, the sea and many other representations, all functioning as photography backdrops. Simply think what a unique type of photography backdrops the mountains would make to a small village. Backdrops equally apply to the classic and digital photography alike, and they often depend on the artist's intention or the purpose of the picture as such.


Some of the most popular photography backdrops include holiday scenes with angels, fairies, lots of snow and stars; in such cases we are talking about themed photography that contributes to special aesthetic effects. What is the main purpose of using backdrops? From a certain point of view, we could easily say that they make the picture come alive. Photography backdrops bring life, color and even glow to any well taken photo. Furthermore, they make an excellent alternative to other cluttered backgrounds that lose their artistic impression due to light quality or distance from the focal point of the picture.


People can actually create their own photography backdrops, by using already existing pictures; this procedure is more easily applicable to digital photos where computer modifications are also possible with the help of special software like Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw. If you intend to modify the photography backdrops after taking the picture as such, it would be a good idea to select a dark colored background so that it can be more easily changed afterwards. Furthermore, when you take photos indoors, the use of backdrops is a lot more helpful and rewarding.


Photography backdrops range from very simple or plain to extremely elaborated; it all depends on what type of effects you want to achieve. Professional props and background items are definitely a compulsory condition for any workshop that has a name to keep up to. Amateurs usually find it easier to use plain photography backdrops instead of printed ones, as the focus of the picture would have to fall on the subject of the photo and not on some background item. Before taking the final shots, consider the impact the use of a flash would have on the backdrops and whether it will be reflected on the subject as well.

Digital Photography Success Review

Many people believe that it takes years and years to become a good photographer. In reality, this is a myth which is perpetuated by those with a vested interest in maintaining the so called "mystique" of taking photographs to a professional standard.

The truth is that anyone with a genuine interest in photography and a willingness to learn can move up from amateur level to semi pro quality very quickly.

One person who believes that the hobbyist can converted into a pro level photographer is Amy Renfrey. Amy is herself a professional photographer and she has created a unique package of information designed to enable the amateur photographer reach their full potential.

The package includes two superb ebooks written by Amy called "Digital Photography Success" and "Advanced Digital Photography". Some of the contents include:

1. How to compose your shots and position your camera giving a secret way to turning bland and dreary shots into stunning images that can be framed and entered into competitions.

2. A simple element to look for during the day that will greatly improve your photos particularly when you need to tone down bright, over-exposed spots that have previously ruined the entire photo.

3. How to decide on the best placement of subjects in your photos, emulating the masters of photography. You will wonder why you never saw this before yourself!

4. How to eliminate overly bright and overly dark areas on your photographs, eliminating fuzzy images, blurry lines and indistinguishable objects.

5. Learn how to use A,S,P,M camera settings properly, and how they can save you in many awkward and difficult situations.

6. Discover how to use aperture and shutter speed together to create sharp, fast high action sports shots in sharp, crystal clear focus, every time.

7. How you can get much more light on your scene without changing shutter speed or aperture simply with the press of one small button at the back of your camera.

8. Learn how to easily use your camera in full manual control and why you will never want to use anything else again.

9. Discover one simple rule that will increase the quality, sharpness and depth in all your photos.

10. How to keep off-centred subjects in perfectly clear, sharp focus, regardless of what camera you own - even when you shoot in auto or with a basic, cheap camera.

I cannot hope to cover everything that Amy teaches in this Digital Photography Success review.
