Photography and Filmmaking
I've had a number of my film workshop instructors mention the usefulness of practicing with a basic still photography camera to learn how to compose and light shots for cinematography. Unfortunately, I always had others around me taking photos so I never really got the hang of it. But I think it's time to change that, time to finally learn photography.
So do I just buy a camera and start practicing? Do I sign up for a local adult education photography course? Or do I get even more ambitious? I'm leaning towards the first option as a starting point. Then, if I don't really feel that I'm learning anything that way, I might consider a night class of some sort. I'll let you know how it goes.

I bought a camera with that in mind, too. I haven't practiced as much as I had originally intended, but fully expect to this summer. That doesn't stop me from wanting yet another (and better!) new camera, though! LOL
I totally support your decision to buy a new and better camera... then when you get your fancy new camera, you can pass your old one on to me! ;-)
