Argh D; They're beyond shitty, but somehow I doubt I'd even get hired there lol. It's tough getting a job at 16. I have got a couple of web design jobs lined up atm, so once they're done I'll hopefully have enough cash for a new lens atleast x'D It's not really anything I can do continually though as I'm far from professional enough :x

edit* Sorry kratos x'D

Pfft - don't feel stupid, you feel as if you just learned something :P It happens to all of us. I always use the manual function now; although I don't know everything about it yet, still trying to get used to the over/under exposed part, but I got it figured out I think.

Btw, third and last photos are great :) Last photo has a good dof, I'm not a huge fan of flower shots though, so I'm trying to do my best.

Haha... I wish my parents would buy me a really expensive DSLR, but nooo... I had to pay for my own, but oh well at least I'll have one, can't wait to get it.


It's good you paid for your own - it shows that you make do with what you have and responsibility, control over your expenses. I feel gratitude toward people buying their own expenses, not having their parents buy them everything.

Cool, I am kinda likewise not having a hobby I could stick too, about 5 months ago I started photography and bought myself a bass guitar and I've been sticking with them, and now I bought myself that camera.


I had that same problem... lol - finally got photography to stick.

Oops I guess I was too busy making fun of mr Nevereon and missed this post. hmm I thought you are using a dslr :o because some of the pictures you have posted in here are of high quality but I guess most of them were taken in broad daylight.

So which camera have you decided to get?

Yeah it's hard to find a job right now and those who are hiring would probably prefer those who have experience which I think is stupid I mean everyone has been a newbie once and they really should give those newbies a chance to prove themselves.

That's life, eh? :c Owell. I'm lucky I'm not one of those people who buy tonnes of things. All I ever spend my money on really is food lol.

It all depends on the people hiring you. Sometimes they'll hire a newbie, sometimes they won't. My job, they hired someone who had experience, and hired someone that's never had a job before; and they normally only hire people with experience.

hahaha! Same here lmao I think I spend waaaaaaay too much on food and mostly junk food too lmao! Yesterday I spent 30 dollars on KFC crap lol
I kinda find myself spending money all the time when living here in Canada probably because it's so much fun shopping here and of the fast food culture xD I mean when I lived in Sweden I was such a cheap Asian counting every freaking penny I spent lol nah I am kinda exaggerating but still...

yeah... I think it has something to do if the person who hires you like you and if you are lucky. I know some places have hard time finding good employees.
ok I hope you don't mind me asking you this. Which fast food place did you work for one week? I am just curious lol.

Well though I am not a fan of Sony dslrs but it's still a dslr and I am sure you will be satisfied with it and I also hope you will keep posting those amazing photos of yours :)

I really like the B&W picture of the flower - and I normally hate B&W's!

goes to show you that you don't need an amazing camera to take good photos.

Haha x'D Really though. I almost only buy junk food or dinner with my cash. As you know 300:- sek only gets you so far considering a dinner would be about 100:- depending on where you eat :P
