All of my friends and family say that I really have an eye for photography and I'm thinking about going to school for it, but I'm not positive. If there are any photographers on here willing to tell me where they went to school and such that'd be great. Thank you! :)
(Most of these pictures were taken with my little FujiFlim camera but the sunset pictures at the beach were taken with my new Nikon digital SLR.)

I am not a photographer, but it's my hobby, and something I absolutely love to do. As for the first few photos at the top, I like how you had an object (wooden slabs?) be the focus of the photo. It is something random, and not particularly beautiful, but you gave it beauty through your photograph. I also like to take pictures of random things/objects or even an unexpected angle of a building or something as simple as a bench or staircase- photography gives beauty and meaning to the otherwise ordinary.
Just like you did with the first few photos, it is good to have focus on one particular object, and you might even want to experiment with taking shots from particular angles (you can try it out with absolutely anything you see that catches your eye or inspires you).
Your nature shots are beautiful, and make me want to be there! I also like the pictures that have the fence, and behind it, beautiful scenery. The fence adds something to the photo- it's like your personal touch.
I looked at the photos on other pages, and I can tell you, they are beautiful and very well taken. The lighting gives wonderful contrast and highlights very well- you can always use good lighting to your advantage, even if it's artificial light.
Lastly, I love the pictures of the flowers- for instance, the picture of the bunch of yellow daisies (page 3) is taken from a good angle (bottom-up), which makes the daisies appear very tall, and almost like a group of soldiers, but pretty, haha. If you can, invest in a good camera, and start taking some photography classes, even at a local community college. If you really have a passion for photography, and can imagine yourself making a living from it, then go for it. Do not listen to anyone who tells you it's impractical or whatever- do what you like. Keep a portfolio of your best works, for if you do end up applying to schools. I do not know which schools have good photography programs. You might want to research art schools in the United States (assuming you live here)- and look into living in a major city with a booming industry and appreciation for art (maybe New York). Good job! and good luck :) [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
