# About me

I'm a Senior in high school, I currently attend Sheldon High School in Sacramento, CA. Although I am only 17 years of age, I'm in love with photography and have been getting better and better with each passing moment of each passing day. I strive to learn new techniques and new types of photography as my current goal is to find my focus in this world. I've always loved the feeling of watching someone in need smile when you do something great for them, and I believe that giving the gift of beauty and a great memory in the form of a photograph is definitely the way to go. :)

Thank you very much, I browsed your gallery as well and I absolutely adore how you capture the sky And, If you don't mind I'd love to give you some advice when you photograph the clouds, underexpose the shot, you'll get those deep wonderful colours you see in the sunset or sunrise and try closing down you're aperture if your camera has the ability to do so such as f13 or even higher if you have a tripod for those longer exposures

Thanks I appreciate a helping hand Ive always loved photography, I just wanna take it a step further, now I'm not that good compared, but I'm sure I'll get there

Btw, i have the Minolta sr-1s, ive always wanted the srT101 *jealous* xD

lykhoi96 In reply to joshgeer [2010-04-16 05:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, its nice to help.. i hope you would help someone who is interested in photography in the future as well :] To take a further step. all you need to do now is train your eye. Its easy actually. all you gotta do is go on here and join those groups and check out amazing pictures everyday.. It would train your eye so you'll know the elements in a good photograph. And you'll know what not to do when taking a Photo. Other than that.. Photography in a career field is all about connections. But i guess you got that down already.. just meet new people adn you'll learn lots of new things.. Look at you, you already working at a studio.. :] Good job and keep up the good work.. But seriously, try to be subtle about it.


I also have a Minolta SRT201 too :]
I got those at a garage sale and the flea market..
you cant imagine wat all the cool stuff you can find at the flea market.. Lmao

XD I absolutely love shopping at flea markets! Also garage sales and thrift stores, oh! and antique shops are really cool when it comes to cameras I'm assuming you favor the manual cameras?

lykhoi96 In reply to joshgeer [2010-04-17 04:04:01 +0000 UTC]

Definitely!!!

Hahah Serious Photographers dont take pictures with Automatic cameras. I love manual because i get to control everything.

joshgeer In reply to lykhoi96 [2010-04-17 04:19:02 +0000 UTC]

same here, it feels so unnatural to use fully automatic cameras, even the 35mm autos. XD but i would still like to to own an automatic digital camera so that I can be hired by some studios to do behind the scenes photography

lykhoi96 In reply to joshgeer [2010-04-17 04:40:14 +0000 UTC]

lykhoi96 In reply to joshgeer [2010-04-18 04:51:02 +0000 UTC]

OMG 7D! i really want that camera but its too expensive for me right now.
Do you ?
I have a canon 50D.. Its an amazing camera for taking pictures..
But i like film-making too, so i want the 7D or the T2i so i can film the amazing HD footage.. But 7D is just too expensive so i think ima get the t2i.

lykhoi96 In reply to joshgeer [2010-04-19 04:26:01 +0000 UTC]

Lmao how r u gonna learn how to develop film at night ? you need a dark room for it..
and LMao Photo one is just introducing people to Photography.. and you wouldnt like it because you already know alot about it.. the People in there will drive you crazy.. when i had Photo 1 like 4 years ago we were doing Film photography and develop film because everyone was serious about photography,, Now peolpe just take it for an easy A , SO the people in there cant take care of the equipments so mrs.Pahl now only teach them do easy photography with digital. The class that i highly recommend you to take is Photo 2-3-4. now she have all those Photo classes in one class now..
