I'm in grade 12 now and I'm not sure if I really want to get into ECE (Early Childhood Education) and I was leaning more to photography.
I have some pictures that I've taken from last summer when I went camping and I wanted to ask if you think if there o.k or what.
In these pictures, the people in them are my family...well not all one them.
lol.
But man, some of the courses you take in photography are like crazy and expensive and the cameras @____________@
I'm not applying to college yet. I'm planing to stay an extra semester to make sure what I really want to get into.

I don't know a lot about photography, so I can't really tell you if your photos are good. But I can tell you that you should never, ever shy away from something just because it is expensive. This is your life's work and that's worth a little money, don't you think? Nothing about university or college is ever cheap, but the point is supposed to be that the cost is worth what you get in the long run - a fulfilling career that you truly enjoy.

i actually have time
for once, so i'm going
to critique your photos
a little bit.
please, if i say something
you don't like, don't get
offended, it's not personal.
ok, first off, your photos
are good, for a beginner,
but if you're considering
photography as a carreer,
you definitely should invest
in some classes.
ok. here goes.
1st. it's a great idea, and
has nice placement, but
it has really bad quality,
and your horizon is a little
off. maybe a more direct
angle, rather than from
above, might have helped
as well.
2nd. once again, your
horizon is a little off.
also, it's a nice portrait,
but you could have made
it a little more interesting
with a different placement.
the light is really great,
except for that little ray
on his shirt. i love the
textures on her face.
3rd. i'd suggest cropping
that, because all that water
and sky and everything
really distracts you from
the subject. i'd crop to about
a centimeter from the model
on the right side, and only a
little on the left. and a little
on top. also, your horizon is
a little crooked, but other
than that, i like it a lot.
4th. once again, the horizon
is really off. also, the light
is...well, terrible. the ocean
looks fantastic, same with
the sky and the rocks, but
your model barely stands
out at all. in my opinion, that
photo might have been
better sans model. but i
think you have a really good
placement, so with better
light it would be a really
great photo.
5th. i really, really like
this one. might even be
my favorite. the only thing
that bugs me is the way
the kid's red shirt is really
distracting.
6th. pretty much the exact
same thing as the fourth. i
love the bird, though.
7th, 8th & 9th. these don't
really interest me. it seems
as though you didn't really
put much though into it, just
pointed and clicked. while that's
fun, it doesn't always make
great pictures. trust me, i
should know. xD
10th. it's a nice idea, but i
think you should have found
a way to make the man stand
out more. different angle, maybe?
that's it.
oh!
i concurr with chibi.
if you really want to do it,
you shouldn't let cost be
an obstacle.

I just might go into photography. It has always sparked my interested. Next semester, which is in 2-3 weeks...I have photography Grade 11 ( Took grade 10 photography last year in grade 11). If this really works then I'm going to apply for photography in college.

I was hoping for some one to.
Because it was a digital camera and not one of those ones with were you can change the aperture and the time, so you can get a certain amount of light into the camera....the pictures turned out like kinda like that.
I really need to work on the horizon thing.
lol
Thank you so much, again.
Oh and like I said in the other post, I'm taking grade 11 photography next semester. I really hope its not the same as the grade 10 photography were you make your own camera and use that! I want to use there nice big camera that they have.
And I'll show you guys my photos if I'm able to take them home.

They look really good, better than what I could take. The first one looks like a pretty picture someone drew.
hmmmm, the 2 boys in pictures 6 and 7, what are their names?? If you don't mind me asking. I think I might know them from somewhere...
