Very nice! What’s your process for that? Do you select a specific slice at a time?

I mildly agree with the comments about using your smartphone camera first, but that also depends if there’s much settings to play with.

A lot of newer phones do let you dial in shutter speed and ISO, and that’s a great starting point. But if you’re itching to really learn with a camera and get comfortable with dials and settings I would get an old film camera like the Pentax Spotmatic with some M42 lenses ($50-$200) or something digital like a Fuji X-T20/Sony A6000 (about $500).

I don’t wholly like the idea of using a phone to learn since you’ll reach the limits fairly soon with the lack of settings.

I learned by carrying my camera everywhere I went, shot for some local organizations to practice and did public events. What another commenter said on studying your favorites is right, start by understanding how to recreate something you like.
