DON'T START USING A DSLR WHEN YOU START PHOTOGRAPHY

I had mentioned this in one of my previous posts, but I figured I should write separately on that one. A week ago, a cousin of mine came to me, with a new Canon 100D and started showing the photos which he had shot with it. I should have kept some photos he had shot, just to show you how he lacks photo sense.
There's a shooting mode in every camera called the "Auto Mode". 




See that green thing?? That's it.

 Most of us are familiar with it, because that's the mode with which we start shooting as a beginner. But, there's nothing more dull than to buy a DSLR, pop into Auto, and start shooting. Shooting in Auto mode means that the camera uses it's own settings while shooting, and 90% of the time we end up with something we hadn't expected at all. That's the main drawback of Auto-mode. But, it is perfectly normal for a beginner to start shooting in Auto, and for that, invest in some higher end Point-and-Shoot. They'll allow many more options as well. When you have mastered the basics of photography, you can invest in a DSLR. Again I'm saying, I simply have nothing against a beginner who starts with a DSLR; I'm just telling that it's no use to shoot in Auto-Mode in a DSLR; and it's most likely that a beginner will start shooting in auto mode only.
