Where could i learn photography interactive online classes?

dslr camera lenses guide image

Q. Did you come across any sites/groups/clubs that teach you to use a DSLR camera? I want to learn techniques. A good camera guide is what i need.
thanks!!

Answer
I love photo.net personally. you can view other peoples pictures and see what kind of camera they used and lenses they used. its free.
also I think online tutorials can only take you so far. take a class in college and be around other photographers and see what they do.

What are diff. elements you look for in a professional camera, and what do they do?

I'm mainly looking for a cheap but good camera..willing to spend up to $600 or $700 used. Will buy new if it's worth it up to $1000. I want a camera that blurs the background but what do u look for in a camera like a canon or nikon or whatever?

Answer
If you're looking for a camera that blurs the background, you'll have to look at the specs of the lens rather than the camera. Lenses with large apertures such as f/1.4 have the ability to blur the background.

With less than $1000, you can get yourself a Canon XS+ 18-55mm lens kit, and buy a Canon 50mm f/1.8 seperately.
