Digital Cameras can be tricky to learn.
We’ll give you some easy-to-understand advice, share camera gear reviews, provide tutorials and resources to learn how to use a digital camera.
What’s the difference between a DSLR and a Mirrorless Camera?
(We’ll talk all about that and more.)
First Real Camera is dedicated to guiding photographers who are leaving their smartphone behind, taking your first steps, to some slightly more involved digital camera skills. If we’re lucky, you and I will also find some inspiration along the way for creative photography projects.
I’m Chris Brogan and I’m an utterly amateur photographer. I’ve never been paid to take a photo or make a video (except maybe for social media). But I’m fearless to learn through error, error, error, trial, and error. And we can work together to get you going with your first “real” camera.
