One of the best things that I did (long ago, before anyone even knew how to spell 'digital') was to buy a totally manual film camera - a Zenith B (Russian camera, I think), which had no light meter, no automatic anything! It taught me the science of photography - understanding how light works on film, depth of field, shutter speed and so on. From that, I could then learn the art of photography.
I then discovered that I loved photographing landscapes and nature. So I just got out there!
Enjoy your travel photography journey! It's a wonderful thing to do 😊

Nice! I can imagine how beneficial learning on a film camera would be!
