There was a group back home that would do a photo walk, a few people interested in the hobby meet at a place that had the potential of a few promising pictures and enjoy some clicks. It was brilliant and fun and would help people meet and exchange ideas and features of cameras and what not. You get the gist? How about grabbing the SLR and zooming into the finer things about Kuwait, eh?

Hi Kaya - good idea! There are a number of photography courses being organized now and then, but it's not on very regular basis. Mostly professionals from UK/US provide courses & best known one is organized through Aymstrong.

I'd say, pick a date, and choose a well known spot (Scientific Centre for example is easy to find, many people around, and great to shoot sea/skyline).

I'll bring my SLR too, so I'm in!

Brilliant! I'm thinking I should make it an FB event as well so I can rope in a few more people... Hopefully someone else who has the archaic Canon 50 D stumbles across it and joins us too :-D

yes there is a date set... it is on Facebook already. Search for Photowalk... (there are many, so It's a nice way to waste time )

Hi All,

Count me in ! I was a part of photography club back home. Would be great to meet up, discuss photography etc. Plus social life in Q8 has taken a huge back seat. Surely events such as these can be looked into.

Moo: If you want to do a point-and-shoot, buy a compact camera like Canon Powershot etc. POint-and-shoot obviously mean that you just view whatever subject you want to take your photo with and click the shutter button. That's how simple it works.

But if you want a more complicated one that will suit your creative side, buy a DSLR. I highly recommend a Nikon though Canon is also good.

But before doing so, try reading Digital Photography review sites or tutorials. Search on on Google. Those help a lot.

duresprit,

Thanks for the detailed answer. I highly recommend Nikon as well. I used Canon before but switched to Nikon and I think they're better at least in the mid-range DSLR cameras.
