[xxWesxx]

Guys. Lol. I mean. Im just here for some help? I just needed to know what i can do with photography and how to achieve my goal as to become a photographer.

Lol Wes I was not replying to you. You thanked all of us for our responses and you are very welcome. It is this other guy who decided to respond aggressively towards my response as if i was spamming the site.

 

[xxWesxx]

Ahh! xD i thought i offended you xD

 

[o hey tyler]

Was there a problem with my response? Have I offended you in any way? Have I caused you to shed tears at night because of my answer? What right do you have to negatively reply (attack) to my response. I took 10 minutes out of my day to answer the kids question to the best of my ability and you are trying to give me grief about the help i provided over a couple of red words?? Stop worrying about me and start worrying about your self. The minute I start linking back to my site with garbage pointless posts is the minute you will be allowed to attack me in public. Okay little buddy?
Take Care and good luck.

If you are legitimately trying to "answer the kids question," stop trying to drive hits to your site. Add it to your signature and don't link to it solely to draw hits. It is spam.

Good call, sorry for the spelling error.

Hmm. How long of lens would i need to have? And It seems as if im not pushing the camera to its full potential? I mean idk if its just me but i feel that way. And is there any Online courses that I can do for photography? I mean im on a very small budget for right now. My school has a yearbook, My grades are not high enough. No school newspaper D:. I also thought bout trying to get into my county's newspaper. But idk how all that works.

For starters save for 70-300mm
is a good lens for the money(except in low light) and not overly expensive I bought mine $589, and yes at best buy lol. Or you can buy a used at B&H for less.

I provide real estate photography IN TORONTO. I don't care to "drive hits" from a 16 year old who lives in another country or anybody else on this site who has their own camera and will never use my services . It's anchor text and it helps for SEO. And considering I am helping other people by answering their questions it should not be a problem if i link to my site with anchor text cause it helps my rankings. Give and take relationship. So like i said buddy start focusing on your self and stop focusing on me. I promise you'll find a lot more satisfaction in judging your business than judging the business of others. As for "adding it to my signature" i'd rather not. I don't want to post a big tacky logo with flashy blue red and green text that show up as my signature every time i post something like half he guys who call anchor text "spam". Ya as if your flashy signature is better than my subtle red text. It's obvious Wes was appreciative of my answer and he didn't complain so I don't think you should. Grow up.

I believe putting a lot of links back to your own site in a forum like here is not a good choice. It is not against the law or anything, but personally I will not hire a company that do that.

You are 16. The best thing you can do at this moment is to take better care of your grades, if they are restraining you from the easiest step.

Regarding portfolio, put here some picture, or the link at your site. Someone will tell you if it is already time to think at portfolio, or it's still time to study and exercise.
