hey /p/,

I'm interested in photography, but I haven't really done much. I'm going to buy a dslr this summer, but I just have my p&s right now.

This is a picture I took with it. Any suggestions or comments?

Wow, for some reason I like that picture. The technical and artistic qualities are sub-par, but there is something I like about the skyline and the quiet, dumpy foreground.

As for suggestions, don't try to take night photography with a point and shoot. Even with a tripod, the results are not very good. Before getting a DSLR, research how different they are from a point and shoot.

I have been doing a lot of research. I've been interested for quite some time now, I've just been waiting for the school year to end to buy.

Nice pic, that's a view of downtown Minneapolis, MN if i'm not mistaken, correct? I'm from there so it's a nice pic to me for that reason.
