		<description>Overall you are off to a good start...keep shooting.  I like the fact that you are trying different angles. You got down lower to take the photo of the fence line and it is good to try different angles, etc.  As one of the other people mentioned try getting down to your pets level and taking some photos of them from a lower level.

On the picture of the oat field it would benefit from better composition. On landscape photos pay attention to where the horizon is at. Often times it can help by putting your horizon at one of the &quot;rule of thirds&quot; positions in the photo.

Continue to study and learn about composition as well has the different features and settings on your camera.  Keep experimenting and learning. Get creative in your subject matter and approach.  Look for contrasts, textures, leading lines, etc.  Make sure your photos have a central point of interest that the eye is led to.  All of these are general tips. Above all keep shooting and enjoying the wonderful world of digital photography.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>The lab to go for considering reliability of parts and especially service is Fuji or Kodak. Having said that Kodak does not manufacture their own machine. They use Noritsu. Also a japanese brand. Thus you have basically Fuji or Noritsu. I wil go with Fuji becasue they are film-machine-service intergrated. The basic entry machine is about AUD$140k and the higher end AUD $180K. Add in about AUD$12K for a Digital self service kiosk. Which depending on your location you will need 2 to 10. 

Digital print is very competitive. The variable cost per print is about Aud$0.08 to Aud$0.12. Look at what your market is charging. Take the average that will be gross margin. Calculate the the volume you need. 

To do up a store from scratch is from Aud$80K. 

Your shop should look something like that. Think digital. Not just film but also video. Anything digital services you can provide provide. Like data conversion, whatever. Maybe add in internet cafe. A place where peope, young people can do their digital thing and entertainment. 

Get affiliate progran, like shutterfly that people can sign up. 

etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://www.geocities.com/lcming

		<description>You have a lovely area.  I am a fan of rural places and things.  I left a couple of comments, and really liked the kitchen window shot.  You are at the beginning of the learning curve, and your photos show that, but they are pleasant beginner shots.  As you learn more your work will improve.

Pets and flowers make good subjects, both for beginners and more advanced shooters as well.  So go ahead and practice on your beautiful dogs.  One portrait tip for both people or animal shots is do not shoot down on them,  Get on your dog&#039;s level.  Do not cut off ears tips or paws in a body shot.  Learn to see good lighting, and utilize it in your photography.  Take a class if possible, or join a local club or group for mentoring and feedback.  Visit the library for books on the basics.  Learn how exposure is formed by using ISO, shutter speed and aperture.  Read and understand your camera manual to get the most from your gear.  Look at good images in books and magazines, pay attention to the lighting and composition.  Observe with a keen eye.  When shooting, think about the light and what you are trying to show your viewer.  Pay attention to your surroundings and backgrounds, and shoot to simplify and direct attention to your subject.  Here are a couple of links for beginners:

http://www.photographytips.com/

http://asp.photo.free.fr/Composition/photoProgramCompMainClass.shtml

Have fun with your new camera.  (BTW, take care of it, always wear the strap so you won&#039;t drop it.  I hope you appreciate that not many 15 year olds have a Leica!)  Continue to learn and practice.  I will look forward to seeing you progress.  Best wishes and happy shooting!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>OK, look at the images posted when people ask this question and you will see 95% of them have exactly the same images you have.
shot of flowers
shot of the family pet
shot of view out of bedroom window
shot of a field or similar 
etc etc

Great that you are learning and getting used to the camera but please don&#039;t fall into the same trap that it seems virtually every teen does and just go around snapping everything you see.

Think about what you are taking.
If they are just for your own pleasure then do what you want but as soon as you put them in public and ask for opinions then make them good photographs.

Look at and study shots which are done by successful photographers in the fields you are interested in.
Check out http://www.photo.net - go to the galleries
http://www.1x.com
and other similar sites and see what good photography is and find out how they got the images and strive to get &quot;proper&quot; photos which are of interest to everyone not just you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>usually for digital printing shops. they would have a few high performance macs for photographers to do on the spot changes if they need, and of course for your men to do colour correction for these clients of yours. its your duty to make sure that their prints are calibrated to your printer too... colour accuracy is important.

u need a shop front, and 1-2 large format printers, and the photo processor either from Kodak or Fuji, for Fuji, its around $25000-$30000SGD for the machine itself. the price is not accurate because i got this price from my partner not too long ago.

if you want to be the best, provide the best service with the best equipment, fastest delivery and superb quality. and never use 3rd party papers for your printers please... 

hope that helps.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I think you&#039;re still in the stage of learning what your camera can do. I think you&#039;re just about ready to start thinking about composition. Looks like you live in a rural area. Go for a walk, shoot some landscape. When you see an interesting bit think about what you want to show.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>in my experience as a photographer, the best digital lab is from Fuji, though they are not as readily available as Kodak in North America. Fuji technology is better though. Certain colours and compositions are more crisp and clear than with Kodak digi labs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
