When people have deep passion and interest for photography, they can always learn everything by themselves or join in photography classes. Most people think that joining in such classes isn't very important because they can learn everything on the go. Moreover, with the existence of digital cameras and additional stuffs, everything becomes easier and people won't have to tweak and changes their lay out or settings.

However, learning the very basic things about photography is actually very important if people want to learn the right method of taking shots or develop images. Digital cameras do make everything easier and simpler, but nothing really beats the conventional methods in photography subjects. Professional photographers need to know how to handle manual cameras as well as the high end ones, including how to develop images on their own and manually. That information can only be found during photography classes, which will be taught by the experts.

A basic class in photographer usually includes about 20 hours of studying being spent in studio, darkroom, and also lab. The class usually combines theoretical subjects followed by practical activities, whether done in outdoor or indoor setting. Most of the classes will include practical activities as the participants need to develop their own sense of art and style. They won't be able to develop it without practicing a lot.

There are several types of classes that usually included in the program:

- The basic, which usually covers basic information and knowledge about how to handle cameras, the types of cameras being used, the types of film, mechanism and exposure, camera lenses, and also other basic knowledge of the field.

Paparazzi, photogs, shutterbugs, no matter what you call them, lately they seem to be pestering celebrities more than ever. So what’s the matter with them you may ask? Are these celebrity photographers or nuisances to people who want to just live their life?

After the death of princess Diana was blamed on paparazzi, the whole world was in uproar. Angry at their behaviour, of hounding celebrity's every move. As the years have passed, it seems as if everything has blown over and the paparazzi are now more than ever out to get "that shot".

But who should be blamed, the paparazzi, the tabloids, or consumers? The reality of the matter is that when you become a celebrity, you are celebrated. Fans obsess about whatever it is that made you famous, whether that be reality TV, music, movies, or "being famous, for being famous". Regardless of how you got the fame, once you have it and you're hot right now, prepare to be the object of your fans affections. But where does it go too far?

Most celebrities agree to taking pictures and many oblige the paparazzi. Many celebrities love the lime light, but when it comes to getting too close that’s when things go array. Most recently actress Halle Berry was caught on tape cursing at a photographer for stalking her daughter at school. Another recent incident involves Justin Beiber allegedly hitting a photog. And yet again, Alec Baldwin was last seen covered in a white sheet looking like a ghost trying to hide from those pesky paparazzi. Celebrities like drew Barrymore will tent a whole area to hide the happenings of her wedding....while Kim Kardashian will have it all on TV for show. So there are two kinds of celebrities. The ones that want the constant attention and those that don’t.

But it all comes back to the consumer. Yes the tabloid pay big bucks for exclusive pictures of celebrities, especially embarrassing ones. But who will buy these tabloids? Consumers, of course, me you...and if not us, certainly others will. So that picture of Alec Baldwin’s fiancé with her skirt up revealing she was wearing no underwear. And that picture of Snooki taking a fall, wearing too high of a heel while pregnant, yes tabloid pay for them, but then consumers buy the tabloids.

Rumour has it Beyonce bought husband Jay-Z a new private plane. Well as with everything else with this highly secretive couple it’s all hush hush.

The story goes that the new mother spent almost $40 million on a Bombardier Challenger 850. The media claim is that the Bombardier Challenger 850 has a flash interior including a cream leather living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and two bathrooms. Sounds more like an apartment to me.

Well what a happy father’s day it must have been for daddy to hip hops newest princess blue ivy. With such a lavish private jet, it’s like a home on wings.

It seems like the world no longer has to worry about the joneses, keeping up with the carters is the new standard of measure. Beyonce and Jay Z are synonymous with the best of the best. So this new jet will fit in nicely with their things.

Keeping up with the carters is their new friend Kim Kardashian. The splurge she made on Kanye West for his birthday is quite in line with this purchase Beyonce made for her hubby. I agree Kanye's new ride is no 40 million dollar jet but it will do.

Beyonce has been seen hanging out with Beyonce when both their beaus performed recently. It’s said that the carters think Kim is a good match for Kanye, and Beyonce and Kim seem to be forming a bond. Well what better way to continue to build your empire than to let in the "right people". Beyonce and Jay Z are arguably the king and queen of hip hop, and with new baby blue ivy, their legacy continues.

Let’s wait to see if the happy carter family, take Kimye (Kanye West and Kim Kardashian) for a ride in the new house....I mean jet!

The fashion juggernaut that is Victoria Beckham just keeps powering on, leaving us all dying for a little bit of that distinctive style that it is her trademark. Against all the odds, with the fashion media dying for a collection flop, her first show had them all feeling just a little bit, no scrub that, a big bit sheepish. Going on as she did to win best designer brand of the year 2011 the style paparazzi had to eat their dismissive words.

The cut, the story, the sleek now familiar Victoriaesque lines. It was so not what anyone had expected. So unlikely. But it was glorious.

And it was not cheap.  Which made us want it even more.

And then, with characteristic savvy, VB, never one to miss a money spinning trick, came up with the joy that is her jean line - Victoria Beckham Denim. Meaning that whilst we might not be able to stretch to one of her ruinous dresses, we can nonetheless become the proud owner of a pretty reasonably priced pair of jeans.

Nicole Polizzi more affectionately known as Snooki, burst onto the scene a few years ago on MTV's Jersey Shore. Her intentions and motives were made clear the moment she arrived at the shore house. She was ready to party, and party some more. That first season and subsequent seasons of the show Snooki was on many an episode a belligerent drunk. Waking up with a hangover, just to go party and get drunk all over again. Over and over that’s all we saw. A young girl characterised by drinking, partying, dancing, and smushing (as she calls it). While the other roommates followed suit, Snooki stole the show with her wild antics. Their popular GTL...gym, tan, laundry schedule should be adjusted to be gym, tan, laundry, smush, drink, dance, drink, party, drink, smush. Oh, let’s not forget to pencil in the few hours of work at the T shirt shop. Even when "working" Snooki managed to mess that up too, many hours were wasted arriving to work late, and idling on the job.

So after years on the show Jersey Shore Snooki is a household name. But are we seeing a change? A few years into the show Snooki met the love of her life, Jianni. He was depicted on the show of being somewhat of a control freak that was trying to change who Snooki was. Nicole spent many hours crying over Jianni and trying to make up for the consequences of her wild ways. So was Jianni trying to help Snooki, or change her into the girlfriend he wants? Nicole’s roommates felt that Jianni should accept her or leave her. But Snooks kept fighting for her man. Later episodes showed Snooki trying to be more responsible and ladylike to keep Jianni happy. Most recently the couple announced their engagement and also they are expecting a baby.

Will Snooki's wild ways be tamed by becoming a wife and mother? Or is her personality hard to suppress? Only time will tell. But for now, Snooki is looking forward to being a mom of a little Guido...and also becoming Mrs. Jianni in the very near future.
