It is easier than ever to get started in photography \u2014 affordable cameras are aplenty; free educational resources can be found all over the Internet, from YouTube to Light Stalking; there\u2019s no shortage of social media outlets primed for everyone to share their creations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything, it seems, is ready for the taking.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually doing<\/i> it is another story entirely. So many eager photographers<\/a> jump in head first and then ask themselves, \u201cOk, what do I do now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a difficult and important question, a question with many potential answers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n What can you do to ensure you get off on the right foot as you begin your journey through photography? Keep reading for a few ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The camera market, that is. When you buy your first camera, buy the best one you can afford.
