You don't need awesome gear to take great photos. Take a look at pinhole photography or Holga clubs. The constant to all great visual endeavors is an understanding of subject and composition. There is a new, relatively cheap E_BOOK getting a lot of press in the Photographic Community, and with a 5$ price tag you may find it worth the cost.
TEN was David duChemin’s first eBook and still the most popular by a landslide. The premise is simple, if photographers could cut through the noise and work on their craft without being bombarded with the need to buy more gear, and the newest and shiniest, we’d become better at our craft and create more compelling images. TEN is exactly what it says it is, an exploration of ten techniques and ideas that can improve any photographer’s work.
TEN was written in response to the question, “so where do I go from here, once I’ve learned how to use my camera?” TEN responds to that and gives you ten solid steps to take on your photographic journey, each with accompanying creative exercises, and none of them asking you to buy new gear.
