RE: How do I get started in photography
HNI Visitor,
As suggested, taking classes on photography would be a great start. At this point in time, most magazines won't accept digital photos as the resolution isn't good enough from what I've heard. With advances in digital, some day soon that may change but if you want to submit photos to magazines, stick to 35MM. Learn as much as you can about taking good pictures and get out there and put the time in. A good blind would be a start as getting close to wildlife is tough without one. I've seen guys put the waders on and build a floating blind to get close to ducks/geese for water shots and that also works.
