田中さん、そのカメラ、新しいの買ったんですか。
Tanaka-san, did you buy a new camera?
ええ、最近「一眼レフ」を始めたんですよ。でも、使い方が難しくて苦戦しています。
Yes, I started with a DSLR recently. But the usage is difficult and I'm struggling.
それなら、僕が入っている社会人サークルに入りませんか。プロの方も教えてくれるんですよ。
In that case, why don't you join the adult circle I'm in? Professionals teach there too.
えっ、プロの方に？それは心強いですね。未経験者でも大丈夫でしょうか。
Eh, professionals? That's reassuring. Is it okay even for someone with no experience?
もちろんです。初心者向けに、構図や光の加減などを一から丁寧に教えてくれますよ。
Of course. They carefully teach everything from scratch for beginners, like composition and light adjustment.
それはぜひ参加してみたいです。活動はいつですか。
I definitely want to participate in that. When are the activities?
月に2回、週末に景色の良い場所に行って撮影会をしています。
Twice a month, on weekends, we go to scenic spots for photo sessions.
週末なら参加しやすそうです。ただ、機材が高いんじゃないかって心配で。
Weekends seem easy to participate in. But I'm worried the equipment might be expensive...
最初はレンタルもできますから、実際に触ってみて、自分に合うものを探すのがいいですよ。
You can rent at first, so it's best to actually touch it and find what fits you.
なるほど。それなら安心して始められそうです。よろしくお願いします。
I see. Then I can start with peace of mind. Thank you.
