Hi my name is Myrtle and I am from NY. I am new to SP. I have been looking around the site trying to get some ideas. I am a student at New York Institute of Photography. I am working on what type of pictures to take. I love to travel and love to go to concerts. Is there any advise someone would give to the new guy.

Thanks
Myrtle

hi David welcome
advice hmmm well, for this site Id say remember that ratings are opinions, and you can turn that option off if you dont like the rating game
also, for this site, even the best dont sell, and some "you got to be kidding me" images do..dont get to frazzled by it

use these forums to your advantage, ask, learn, enjoy!

personally Id add this.... remember to shoot what you love, there is enough to do that feels like a job, and shooting to meet a judge or profs expectations can kill your own inspiration..dont loose your own inspiration....sure, shoot some for that other persons concept of good work, but find your own style too

and good luck with it all
