I am not in a class for photography but I like taking pictures and would like to see how they rank with others my age. Does anyone know of any places that I could enter in that are in Louisiana or that are online and location does not matter? Thank you.

I am a photographer with Digital slr gear. i would love to get into self employed photography, working from home. problem is i have no experience with this type of photography.
how could i build the skills? is it a good idea to do some for free (ie friends/family)? should i try to partner up with a photographer for a bit? should i start with “budget” packages to those that do not want to spend £800+ on a photographer and concentrate on the traditional style and build on my creativity?
Re: the point below about doing freebies when there is already a pro covering. i would love to do this, but feel that the pro might not be too pleased. any thoughts?

charice266 asked:

I want to purchase a new digital camera for my photography. I am looking for a more amateur/professional camera for nature photography. I need one that can do the following, preferably:

One that takes very high res images.
One with a good/fast zoom since I take a lot of close-up pictures of very small things and landscapes you cannot get real close too.
Something that can take a little movement. Be a small tremor from me, or movement from the subject.
Would prefer a view finder then a screen, but not a must. Something that can take a little moisture and some shaking. I hike a lot for photography, so it could get bumpy. I am also in the south, so the humidity is very high here all year round. I am not going to take it out in a rainstorm (it would be nice if I could), but a little moisture is going to be inevitable.

I am looking to spend around $350-$500 on the camera.

Anyone know of a model that is good for this? Any personal experiences with it? Any sample photos? Help?

Shay asked:

I would like to take some photos at an upcoming wedding this next spring. I am new to photography and I am taking classes now on how to use my camera. What I would like to know is what equipment I will need. I will just be taking casual, practice photos and using this for a learning experience.

I have a Nikon D40 (I am thinking about getting a D80 or a D200), I have a 18-55mm lens, a 70-200mm lens and an SB800 flash (do I need a diffuser?).

I am considering purchasing a 70-300mm af-s vr lens.

What else do I need to consider? Thanks for your help!!!
I also have a tripod.
