A couple Japan photos I took... Anonymous
Here are a couple pictures I took while on my Japan trip last summer. I know pretty much nothing about photography and these were definitely not taken with any expensive high tech digital camera (I used my kinda old 5MP Sony).

First pic is my favorite for some reason. It was a rainy day and we went on this field trip to Mie-ken and there were these little frogs everywhere.

One of those gardens in Kyoto. Cost like 500 yen to enter and it was damn small. Gorgeous but tiny.

Last one for now. I can post more if someone is interested.

And of course this one. I remember my friend went closer and took a picture and her flash woke up the bum. Hahaha, that was priceless.

So tell me /p/, am I ready to become a professional photographer or what? Heh...

Are you ready to make, on average (US Bureau of Labour), $26,100/yr?
Are you ready to fight tooth and nail against regular competition from other photographers and seasonal competition from Lifetouch/Sears/Walmart/foo?
Are you ready for long hours, tough sales, kids, pets and eating Cup Noodles?

YOU TOO CAN BECOME A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER :D

i am a professional photographer and i don't have to put up with any of that crap. i take pictures for my journalism work. i mean i'm not good at either one yet and i can't do it for a living but in a year or two after grad school i'll be taking pictures of things that are so interesting that tens of thousands of people read about them.

Some of these are pretty nice shots. However, I would just suggest to resize them so they aren't huge. In order for most people to see them larger than the thumb, it has to be loaded and then resampled. This sometimes produces jaggies which might not be in the original shot. It's also more convienent because of faster loading times since it's smaller.

OP here. I was only kidding about the whole being a professional photographer bit. It seems like it would make an awesome hobby though. I might actually take a digital photography class this summer (need a bullshit class for the units so I can graduate), so I might get into it.

Thanks. Yeah, this was my first time taking pictures of anything. I don't even have Photoshop and the only time I had to resize pictures I used some website to do it for me (and it took forever).
