I was disappointed with my last point-and-shoot digital camera, and I was in Asda and they had the Fuji Finepix S1700 on sale which I bought.
I was told this was an ideal camera for someone who's had no real experience of photography (me), and that it's a good way to learn how to take better pictures and mess about with shutter speed and aperture, etc.
What I want to know is how you learned to take great pictures? Did someone show you? Do you have a natural talent for it? Did you read up loads and just keep practising? I want to be able to take pictures that I'll look at again and again, but ones that aren't too fake looking (which often seems to happen when people have loads of camera kit).
I intend to buy better and better cameras as I learn more as I'm sure my current model will begin to show its limitations pretty quickly, but what I'm looking for is a good resource for digital photography, the hows and whys, really.
