    Firstly, consider spending some time with your phone camera. There are apps that should allow you to manually adjust ISO and shutter speed. Most phones aren’t going to have good RAW support or allow aperture adjustments, so you will need to focus on a specific set of things. Read or watch videos on artistic ideas like composition and color. When I was first getting interested in photography I did this for about 6 months just to be sure it actually held my interest long enough to justify spending money.

    I would recommend reading this:

    Personally I would pay attention to the Sony and Fujifilm lineups. If you need a bit more portability then also consider Lumix and Olympus/OM.

    I would recommend avoiding the RF(Canon) line for beginners due to the limited and expensive lens selection. I say that as a Canon R6 owner.




    • C# primarily with some T-SQL and Typescript sprinkled in.
    • Trying to learn Rust and so far I’m really liking it. Also using Typescript on Deno is a super comfy experience, though advanced typescript kind of scares me.
    • More Rust mainly, but also Haskell and Ocaml. I tried F#, which is Ocaml inspired, and liked it but the C# interopt made me also kind of hate it too.
