- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
do we assume the person buying has prior experience of photography,
and do we assume they wish to do general photography
(people/events/locations), in available light?
if so, i'd spend half the money on gear and half the money travelling
somewhere interesting to photograph.
a consumer DSLR + a 18-70 type lens ($500),
a UV filter ($10),
a CircPo($50),
2 or 3 fourgig cards ($50),
a bag from a junk store ($5),
a 2nd hand laptop (256mb or more of RAM) ($140).
GIMP ($0)
prices may vary :0).. that's $5 over budget...maybe boost the bag!
