Photography Classes: Many photography classes are organized regularly by experienced instructors at various universities, libraries and in workshops. The benefit of a real world photography class is that a budding photographer will get face to face with the instructor and obtain live demonstrations of tricks involved in capturing great pictures. These classes are also a great place to meet other beginners who are interested in photography and are taking their first steps. Most photography classes take place outside of the class rather than the inside, which means you will be going out for extended class trips. 

Online Photography Classes: This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to learn the complexities involved in photography and the skills required in capturing timeless pictures. Unlike real world classes, there is no need to attend classes on time or even worry about them meeting you busy schedule. An online photography course can be started at any time and from the comfort of your home. It is also easy to meet up with other beginners in the online forums where sharing your pictures is very easy. Online classes have become very popular and have led to rise in the number of people taking up photography as a hobby. 

Photography Books and ebooks: If you are the kind of person who prefers reading then there is nothing better than learning photography from books. There are hundreds of books on different types of photography techniques from well-known photographers. The experience of learning through these books is like getting personal training from an experienced photographer.
