Advice for the high school or college student wanting to get into photography: beware friends and relatives. As soon as they hear that you’re “into photography” you’ll have half a dozen point-and-shoot camera thrust in your direction at every class reunion, family get together and little kid birthday party you ever attend. Here is the problem: you are given a situation that involves bad lighting, unresponsive subjects, and 12 little kids hyped up on ice cream, and expected to turn out a photo worthy of a Pulitzer. With a 5 MP, full auto point-and-shoot.
I don’t care who you are. You can be a world-class chef, but if someone hands you a cup of sand and a cup of poop, you aren’t going to turn out a three-layer mocha fudge cake. The best you can do is a poop-sand cake.
My advice: tell everyone you know that you’re majoring in agriculture.
