I have decided to buy my own camera, and start taking professional-type photographs. That being said, all I need now is a professional camera, and some know-how. And someone to convince me not to chuck it against the wall when things don't go my way.

Oh, and some idea where to start looking for a good camera. And someone to show me how to use it. And some extra money to procure one.

Are they still using film for casual shooting, or is everything digital, now-a-days?

ALSO I've decided to dress as a Pirate for Halloween.

I don't know anything about cameras other than what's on my phone that I point and shoot at. Sorry!

Howevs, did you say PIRATE?

A "fancy bandit"? I'm not sure I get what that is.

We're actually having a costume contest at the nightclub. So probably not, but if you want to stop by? You're welcome to! :D

I will! I'll drag Rory along with me, if that's all right.

Sounds like a plan! You're both welcome to stop by, but of course. ♥

He's a bit freaky. I imagine that his voice is abnormally high--like a eunuch.

That sounds like a lot. Why don't you take a class or something?

I suppose I could. Or should. I've never been one to do what I should, though.

Go digital. Just do it. You can get a really good camera for 300-400 bucks, or you can splurge and get a DSLR camera for a few thousand plus.

It's probably best to get a cheaper one for practice and getting used to it.

Plus you probably won't have any idea what DSLR means unless you look it up. (basically it means REALLY freaking awesome)

I'm not sure I want to spend a few thousand on a whim. But a few hundred I could do.

I'll have to scour for deals.

No idea what DSLR means. How freaking awesome?

Basically, the camera equivilent of WYSIWYG.

I like cameras with a large built in optical zoom, myself.

I've heard some of those words.

Optical zoom. That I can remember.

Lots of megapixels. Something with a high speed of reading memory is also good.

Being a Roman, actually.

For reasons.

Reasons?

I used to love reading about the Romans. I had this book when I was a kid about Roman Britain.

Yup, I know. Yeah, interesting time, wasn't it?

You sure do like your secrets. Mister Williams.

It really was. Fascinating. I think I still have that book somewhere. Maybe.

Pirates are awesome!

There is a small camera place downtown that sells quality used stuff, that might be a place to start if you're not sure you want to stay with it. It's really preference but most have gone digital.

[info]whosscared

Yeah? You've bought things there?

I'll have to check it out.

Yep, got my first camera there and still buy lens there when I need them. They really know what they're talking about and they guarantee all their stuff. I mean it's not the newest stuff but it's all top of the line.

I'm definitely gonna go there now. Think they'll take some time to explain things to a beginner?
