What kind of camera do i need to take professional looking pictures of landscapes and portraits?

Hi there thanks for reading my question. I would like to know if anyone can help me with advise. What kind of cameras, lenses and accessories do i need to be able to take professional type photos of landscapes and people and what computer software is good to edit and touch up pictures? I am wanting to start photography as a hobby and join a class but want to know what type of equipment i will be needing so they can show me how to use it properly.

The first thing you need to learn is this: “It isn’t the camera, its the photographer.” A person knowledgeable about light, f-stops, composition, shutter speeds and ISO and skilled in their use can produce excellent pictures with just about any camera.

The second thing you need to learn is: “Get it right in the camera.” A poorly exposed and composed picture can’t be salvaged with the most sophisticated editing program.

I strongly suggest finding a course first before buying a camera. If the course is a really good one you will find yourself using a 100% manual 35mm film camera. Yes, a film camera. My granddaughter will be taking photography in high school this Fall and the first requirement listed was a manual 35mm film camera. I’ve been teaching her to use my ancient Minolta SRT-202 so she’ll be ahead of the class when it begins.

The best thing using a 35mm film camera will teach you is to slow down. In my opinion digital cameras cause people to develop what I call the “machine gunner mentality” – take 300 pictures and hope a few turn out. That is nothing more than taking snapshots. It isn’t photography. “Pictures are not taken, they are made.” Ansel Adams.

Honestly now – if you take 300 lousy pictures and have no idea why they’re lousy what have you learned? Other than how to take 300 lousy pictures. I encourage developing what I call the “sniper mentality” – one exposure, one good picture. This requires thinking and thinking requires time. Most beginners see a scene, think “Oh, pretty!” and immediately snap the shutter. A snapshot is the result. Instead of just snapping away, slow down and look at the scene. Standing. Kneeling. Sitting down. Lying flat on your belly. Move a few feet right. Move a few feet left. Back up. Get closer. Maybe that flower looks pretty in the sunlight but suppose you get behind it and look at it with the sun shining through the petals?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/3581810196/ Yes, people were staring at me as I laid on my belly in wet grass to take this but I think it was worth the effort.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/drifter45h/2364791076/ These hybrid magnolia buds were boring in direct light but when I got behind them I made this picture.

So find a class and get the camera required. If its a DSLR, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon and Canon all offer excellent choices. Its its a film camera, the Pentax K1000 has been the student camera of choice for decades.

Can you tell me how I can improve this area with landscaping and aquatic plants?

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=x3ffgz&s=3
This is it. the blue inside black is the water and the stormdrain is the source. The blue and brown inside black in the left-hand bottom corner, is where we plan to move rocks and make a pond for goldfish. There are pre-existing aquatic plants around the water and we want to put in a garden somewhere. Have any suggestions?

You’d be better off turning it into a rain garden. You won’t be able to keep fish, but you will help environment.

What can i do to stop my annoying neighbour ?

They constantly have music playing day & night. They have brought in bass boxes etc meaning the whole house shakes 24/7.

You say ‘Can’t afford to move house’ so that tells me that you live in a trailer.. and I hate to assume but from what I read it seems that this might be a trailer park. I do not know what to tell you other than pray they move or you need to look into a different place to move. I am sorry to say that police get a lot of calls from trailer parks and disputes in apartment complexes and do not care for either one, but its true and they don’t work to help mediate other than take everyone involved in to spend the night in a cell to calm down.

I would say either buy a place elsewhere and rent your place, which will probably add to the headaches or move the house.

There are some wonderful people in trailer parks and that own trailers, I am not pointing any fingers..but there isn’t anything worse than bein next to a wacked out family in a trailer park. I know people who have lived it..its unpleasant.

I know they win if you move… but that is only one way to look at it.. if you move YOU WIN because you removed yourself from the situation. It might cost some money but in the long run it will be worth it. It would be a lot cheaper than trying to find a job with a felony on your record for doing something to or towards them. OR worse yet… something happening to you or your family.
