They are both very flat compositionally. There's nothing really leading me in or keeping me in the frame, it's just like "okay here's some stuff, OK"I feel like composition is my biggest problem as of right now, I've been trying to keep the rule of thirds in mind to help me, are there any other such things to help improve composition?
You're all being friends to someone for no reason, what is there to not take seriously about this?You're just a douche.
i didn't see any decent ideas
i saw a lot of joke ideas, and a lot of "go to a therapist", and a lot of vague ideas like "just go get friends lol" that didn't tell me how/where to get friends
but i didn't see decent ideas
start out by just meeting new people online. no i don't mean omegle, meets some people you don't know much about. people on this forum, you can start with. then eventually when you feel okay about it you can go to microphone chat, and at some point you can get to talk to real people.
or just take a walk around town or something. you'll see other people probably, you wont be talking to them unless they say something to you, but you'll still get a little used to being around them.
go to a retirement home old people love young people and stories
and peanut butter
Walking to the places to enjoy and meet people, talking to friends, well what do ya know. I was off by 8. but hey, they could still work.
here's a tip:
start by talking to a few people on the mic and try AS HARD AS YOU CAN to not have a panic attack.
you're going to wear it off eventually and you wont get panic attacks online, we call it facing your fears.
your fear being around people, you have to get over this or good luck getting a job.

"its on the internet" WHAT IF THE GOVERNMENT TAKES OUT THE INTERNET MANor it gets deleted, because it is against said research hosting websites rules.
-snip-I love the first one.
Wat. My tripod folded up is the length and width of my forearm.I'd like to see those.
anyway, I may have already said this but I've got a bunch of pictures to edit from Maine and a few in Boston so I'll be posting those as I finish them.
RESIZE richardBAGI did re-size it, my resolution is 1920x1080, forget off.
That's really loving unfortunate, because having someone else pay for camera equipment is a really unfortunate way to get into photography.So to get more into, you recommend I refuse the money and great gear, get a job, and buy my own moderate gear, so that I can get really into the whole thing more.
Without knowing how much lenses and bodies and whatever you'd want to buy really cost, it's sort of difficult to fully appreciate them for what they're worth, and the whole reason I told you to get mid range lenses was because if you're just a hobbyist, there's really, really no reason to get really expensive full frame zoom lenses. The glass itself is not going to make your pictures wildly better. I have become a moderately proficient commercial photographer along with generating what I think is a very wide body of decent fine art photography, and I've done it largely with a D5100 with an 18-55 on it. Until a few months ago (and with the help of a nice tax refund), if I had a shoot with a challenging light situation, I rented a flash and still used primarily my 18-55, occasionally renting or borrowing a Sigma 70-200 2.8, a very midrange 70-200. With this set-up, I've made close to, if not more than a grand, recouping the cost of my camera and probably making a bit of a profit.
So, the stuff I've added on from the modest D5100 and kit lens? I paid for with my own money, and because I was buying it with my own money I was able to thoroughly weigh the decision of whether or not I really needed it, and whether or not it really benefited me. Then, if I decided to get it, I absolutely use the stuff out of it. I have never bought a lens or piece of equipment that I didn't research or thoroughly ask myself "do I really really need this.
An example, I've wanted to get a 10-20 or some wide angle lens to that extent since before I bought my camera. However, over the course of the school year, I put it at the bottom of my list because it wouldn't help me that much. It would be nice for landscapes, but I can't use it for portraits and I can't really use it for events. So I bought a 35 f/1.8. Then a flash. Then a used 70-200 2.8 when I found an outstanding price on one. Now I'm working a summer job and could definitely afford a 10-20, but I'm still not really saving for one because I don't need it that terribly.
This is to say, if I had a benefactor buying equipment for me, I'd probably ask for a 10-20. And I might use it, might not. I might have a few fun shoots with it where I go to really wide angles for buildings and landscapes and stuff like that, but if I just suddenly have it, then I haven't really weighed whether or not it's deeply important to what I'm doing, and because I didn't do that, I may not have as strong a desire to use it, if I had an impulse, acquired it, and had the fun that the impulse said I would have if I got it. But, because of just, incredible deliberation, I can weed out things that aren't completely paramount to making money with photography, and also creating good fine art photography.
And if you think about it, I haven't made a single purchase for the sake of leisurely photography. When I go out, I don't take my flash, I don't take my 70-200, I don't take my 35. I go out with my tripod and my 18-55, because I've decided that's all I need for that aspect of my photography. Everything else is for the sake of business, which is naturally where I put my money. Spend money to make money. But, through deliberation, I can say "Okay, well, a lot of the photography I'm doing for my own enjoyment, the 18-55 is serving me very well. A 10-20 would be nice, I guess, but I don't really need it. So I won't get it."
And because you're spending someone else's money, you're not going through that process, and more likely than you'll end up with a lot of lenses that you made good decisions on getting, you'll end up with a bunch of expensive stuff you didn't really need and didn't end up using to its full extent, and because you don't have as much of your own resources invested into it, it's more likely, in my opinion, that you'll fall out of the hobby of photography.
:|I wouldn't say "I'm 16 lolol therefor can't make own money" I could if it was needed, and probably would if it was needed, but it is not.
Sorry, I was giving advice from the mindset of being fiscally responsible/independent. And don't say "I'm only 16 lolol", because I essentially took an oath of poverty for half a summer while working 40 hour weeks to buy my camera when I was 16.
