As many of you may know, I know /profile/3-joey_matthews/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/3-joey_matthews/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"3\">@joey_matthews from our shared love of Notts County Football Club.

From the number of people who seem to be interested in getting into photography, I thought it would be useful to gather a list of resources that could help people get startedBasics of Photography

Photography Basics (http://www.tutorial9.net/tutorials/photography-tutorials/photography-basics/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Gives you a whole load of information, not the easiest format to digest however.
Exposure Triangle (http://digital-photography-school.com/camera-basics-101-the-exposure-triangle/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Understanding ISO/Aperture/Shutter Speed is vital to get the kind of shots you want.
Camera Modes (http://www.exposureguide.com/camera-modes.htm\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Learning what these modes do could help you understand what you would need to do yourself to get the same effect.

Composition (You\'ll see a lot of \"rules\" in this section, however we all know rules are made to be broken. Use these as a starting place, but don\'t be afraid to break them

Rule of Thirds (http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Probably the first thing I try and think about in a photo. While you can try and adjust this in post production, trying to frame it correctly in the first place will help.
\"10 rules of photo composition\" (http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2012/04/12/10-rules-of-photo-composition-and-why-they-work/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Just 10 basic principles, with good examples of why each improves a specific photo.

Miscellaneous

Photography Simulator (http://camerasim.com/apps/original-camerasim/web/\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Link) - Once you have had a look at some of the guides above, this will let you play around with camera settings, experimenting with different things, without having to even pick up or buy an expensive SLR.

Feel free to share any videos/guides/tutorials you may find that could help anyone else.

A while back, we are talking around 6 years ago, before I got a job, I used to BMX. As I was into it, and had a camera, I thought why not get pictures of it all. These are some of my favourites from that time.

Photography / My Trip to Wales (Last year)

About this time last year I went camping at St David, Wales, and these we my favourite photos from my time there: /monthly_2015_09/Wales_1.jpg.4ae0182abaeea5923464b8e7d237b095.jpg\" class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\">It was really a beautiful place, and shows you don\'t have to go abroad for great scenery (however you might need to for the sun!)
