Recently I have found myself getting more and more interested in photography. I have always loved looking at photographs but have never really taken notice of the technical aspect of how they were created. When it comes to taking photos myself I am simply a cheap digital camera or cell phone camera snapper – point and shoot, let the camera do the work and appreciate it if the photo simply comes back in focus.

I have been looking in to what sort of equipment I would need to start out in more ‘serious’ photography and even looked up a few lessons and courses I could take in the local area. There seem to be a lot of choices to suit all skill levels so it is definitely something I will consider. I might try and convince my husband to come to a few classes with me though as I always prefer to do this sort of thing with someone I am close to and comfortable with. However even if he doesn’t want to come with me I am going to go ahead and go on my own as I am serious about wanting to learn more.

I have been doing my research as if I am going to get into this even semi seriously it is not a cheap hobby and there is a myriad of options. From what I can tell in the research I have done so far about tripods Benro is one of the best brands and they are affordable too – I am glad that I looked into it as well as I probably would have just bought a cheap tripod, assuming there wouldn’t really be much of a difference in quality when it comes to them but if you directly compare cheaper camera tripods to a Benro one there is quite clearly a huge difference.
