All you need is a camera and some film. It's
not worth investing in your own
developing and printing materials.

A cheap, simple camera (about US$60) can take
excellent pictures. When you are used
to handling that, save up for one with a range of lenses (about US$600). Buying
and developing films can be expensive, so look out for shops with bargain
prices.

The best method is to take a lot of
photographs, study them critically and learn
from your mistakes. If you want some professional advice, borrow a book from the
library.

The market in the High Street offers many
interesting subjects for your camera; and there's always something interesting to snap in Lloyd Park, from migrating birds to
a roller skating accident. You can meet other photographers by
joining the Essex Camera Club.

This is a creative hobby which will teach
you to observe the world around you. But
be careful not to spend all your time and money on it !!
