I have a Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera. I am planning a trip to New York and would like to have a great Wide Angle Lens to capture Times Square, City Scapes and other sites. I would love to have one that does close up photography/Macro as well. My local camera shop says that Sigma and Tamron 18-50mm lenses are great for around $400 yet depending on what I read and where I've read it the opinion varies on that one from person to person. I also spoke with another Photographer who stated the Tokina 12-24mm is a great lens that she loves to work with. I would rather pay more for a lens that I'll be happy with than spend on a piece of junk. Thought it might be a good idea to ask some photographers since I'm just getting started with SLR cameras and lenses instead of point and shoot cameras.

I'm an amateur photographer interested in turning pro, so a course with links would be useful.

I'm going to be the photographer in a wedding coming up, and need ideas on how much to charge for each picture. I have not decided whether or not to use film or digital [will probably end up doing digital]. So I'm not really sure as to how much to charge people for the pictures.

I know that if I end up doing digital, I will need to gain back the amount it will cost me to borrow/rent a nice digital camera, along with the cost of the prints, however at the moment, I have not looked into it.

So I'm wondering what the price ranges should be. I'm thinking of offering 8X10's - wallet sizes and then going anywhere from maybe $15-$80 depending on sizes, and how much they're going to cost. Does that seem like a reasonable price range or should I make it more/less? I am not charging the bride and groom [the bride is my best friend] so it's not even a flat fee and you get x amount of pictures...

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I believe I improved a bit lately in taking pics:
http://maxtulipes.blogspot.com
Could you please tell me, if you know the way to propose pictures to be published?
Exemple: documentary on guide dogs in the blog, is a reduction from many pics I took that day, and I believe could be exploited?
Thanks in advance...

It certainly seems there is. Ever since the advent of photography there has been a rift amongst practioners of so called pure photography vs. the so called practioners of soft focus/manipulated photography. On one side of the fence resides your Ansel Adams types, and on the other side Jerry Uelsman types. Although one would assume that the manipulator would spend more time in the darkroom(or behind the computer) you will find that zone system photographers or self described straight photographers spend equal if not more time in the darkroom. The question I am trying to get at is that isnt all photography a manipulation of reality in that the human eye and the camera are not a 1:1 basis and that straight should not equate or be assumed as reality. One only needs to look at the original negatives of moonrise over hernandez and the various printed renditions of the aforementioned negative to see that there is a disparity between reality, camera reality and human imagination.

"Professional". Say your doing photographs for ppl for $20 around town and you have a ad. No schooling. Are you still an amatuer?

Like many other girls out there, I have been trying my luck in modelling and so far, i have had several casting calls which some of them i did attend but they selected someone better. Anyway, recently, I was contacted by this photographer who saw my photos online, and he was interested in making me one of his personal models. He said I would have to pay nothing and he will shoot my portfolio and promote me to clients.

However, he did mention that he may need to see me in a bikini to know my weaknesses and flaws on my body.He promised me that no photos will be taken and it will just take a couple of minutes. The main reason, he says, is so that he knows my size well so that it's easier for him to introduce me to clients. He also says that a model should work closely for a photographer.

If i'm offered any jobs, he says that he will take 40% of whatever I earn.

Should I accept this offer?

Hello, I was rewinding my camera film (400ASA 35-36frames) according to the instruction booklet of my camera (completely manual Nikon FM10; because I had taken all photos possible); I pinched the rewind button, and started rolling the crank but I accidentally let it loose. I thought it was rewound because I tried to rewind it but it didn't let me, so I assumed it was okay to open the camera back (I was in my bedroom; electric light; at night) and opened it and took the film out including all of it that was NOT REWOUND (it's my first time Rewinding a film, so I didnt even know) and realized that. I rewound it in about less than 2 min. correctly, but I don't know if the photos got spoiled. Do they get spoiled? (They had no fingerprints, no contact with sunlight, no high-low temperatures) I will develop this film soon and I am worried. Did all my photos got ruined because I made a mistake? Even if it was exposed to electric light (lightbulb)??

I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm taking a photography class. It wis my first class and I havn't really taken many picture before then.
Anyway, after a few projects my teacher said I was an amazing photogapher and that I had a really good eye.

Do you think it is possible for me to sell my photos?
If so, what is the best way to do it?

Here is a video of 20 of some of my best pictures:

Normally I'd just look in my photography book but I don't have it right now, but anyway...
what's the biggest difference between pring and slide film if there is any?
What IS print and slide film?
Are they specialized for certain situations?
Where can I normally get these films? (I don't know if the film I'm using now is print or slide, but I'm pretty sure it's print, because it seems to be more common)

If there's any other things you can add, please add them.

Thanks

I want a good camera with interchangeable lenses, aperature settings and length of exposure settings. If you know anywhere that I can order one at a discount, that would be fantastic, but basically I am looking for the type of camera you recommend. Thanks!

I'm in my third year of college and ever since I started my freshman year it seems as though I haven't wanted to be here. I never like going to class, I hate doing assignments. But it's not like I did bad all my life, in high school I was an excellent student. My mom thinks i'm home sick, which isn't true because I absolutely hate the town i'm from and never want to go back. Anyway, i'm starting to think college isn't for me. I really want to travel and pursue a photography career, but I don't want to go to college. Is there any advice to a 20 year old college student who wants to drop out? and is there any other way that I can pursue photography without going to school?
