ew, that netted laundry bag filled with pee, and frozen pee maybe, ew pee icicles hanging on it. ok made myself sick, theres the tragedy right there

I love the detail on the feathers so crisp.perfect

great story, thank you, love the photo

very cool, i like the angle

ah very interesting that this was brought up. I often wondered if others thought of this like I do, and obvioulsy, yes. I only had feet if I am cutting them at the leg, or a low waist. But typically full body is full body and thats feet

Idont know what it is, because i see it for way to many months every year,,but i LOVE snow pictures, and that one you have is gorgeous!

your absolutely right in your perspective! I have a friend, she is old enough to know better or at least should, she has no degree, no training in anything, kids just became grown and she says to me, im going to get a job at the police department and be their investigator, at first I sat quite waiting for the punch line, then I said are you serious, yes she says, I said it just doesn't work that way, I explained about school and the academy and how the officers all want to be investigators (or most) and that you can't just walk in and do it, she ended up being mad at me telling me that I think I know everything. so, I say to you your right, there isn't one job out there that dosen't require practice and or schooling, same goes for photography but I think people might think its more touchable because no one can stop you, theres no test, no school(if you don't want to) its one of those careers that there isnt anyone to answer to, except a reputation and customers but that comes later. i agree, to just send someone willy nilly on a pipe dream with no experience, nothing to go on is kind of mean.

This is a constant camera that is on some eagles, sorry if you've missed the hatching of them, but this camera is on their nest. sometimes you see things of interest and most times you don't. It can be boring, just like survelliance, but it also can be pretty exciting, a very neat idea.

I say go for it! also, and I am older then you, whenever I take a college course, I have yet to be the oldest in my class.
Do you research, arm yourself with education, do your demogragphics such as how many photographers in the area your wanting to work in, also, maybe find a nitch in photography, something that no one else is doing maybe like a gimmick of sorts

wow, those are really pretty photo's! good job!

I think all forums on the internet require an age limit of "adult", not that 18 means that, but that is the adult age limit.
It seems that most of us agree with you! its been fun reading my own pet peeves ha!

I love these, looks so warm

this cracked me up, I have a lot if not all of these peeves. The one thing is I never say i am a professional, I don't know what it will take for me to say this, but I just can't.

I have not seen any bashing. This is one of the more polite photography sites I have been on.

I dont think it looks blah, I like it. What makes you think it looks blah?
