What kind of camera did you get for Christmas? How soon will you go pro?

Did you notice the manual that came with your camera?

Did you at least read the quick start guide?

Do you notice that it's not called "Cannon" yet?

Do you realize that Nikon doesn't make a D1500?

Did you know that only you can prevent bad photography?

Don't you get it that it is not possible to properly critique a photo of your feet?

Do you understand that you really can't make a 16x20 print out of your 512 px by 426 px image?

Did you figure out that you really DO look different in pictures than you do in the mirror?

Is it possible that you look bad in pictures because ... (nevermind)!

Maybe you aren't the cutest girl in your group of friends.

Maybe you should consider becoming a hand model if you really want a career as a model.

What did I leave out?

Update:

Motivation? This is my 7th Christmas on Yahoo! Answers and I know what's coming... The day's not even over and I've read a few of these question already.

Update 2:

Missy is a friend. She is BRILLIANT! She could have a show business career, too.

Update 3:

Rick: I DON'T answer those questions unless something about the way they ate put catches my eye. Anyone here who knows me realizes that I actually crusade against people being cruel to beginners. You don't know me and must have me confused with a whole batch of cynics. I believe that answering question that way would be a waste of my time and worse for a newbie.

I posted this "question" for the amusement of my friends who feel the same way I do. It didn't hurt anyone and nobody should be offended by it. Lighten up and have some fun. I am NOT one of the haters. I can't even bring myself to give really bad answers a thumb down.

Update 4:

And Rick, I wanted to see if you follow your own recommendation and I'd say you don't. Yes, you answer the question, but about 4 out of 5 times, you conclude with a negative spin that is anything but helpful or encouraging. Read back over your recent answers and see what I mean.

Paraphrased:

What you need to do is learn how to use a digital camera

You could be a model if you don't get any taller

Follow your dreams, but remember that they are only dreams and they probably likely to remain fantasy than become reality.

Rick, take a look at yourself before you tell me I am mean or discouraging.

Update 5:

Rick: Someone asked if they could try modeling and you answered:

"Your body could but your face isn't going to cut it."

How precious. Why did you bother answering that one? I mean, it may be your opinion, but it might make the girl want to cut her wrists, too. Talk about mean. Just skip this kind of question.

Update 7:

Good list, J-Dawn. Do I know you? I am Sam F.

    present playing cards! then you definitely can get despite the fact which you prefer out of your accepted shops!! Or right it quite is a itemizing: wrist watch necklace with matching jewelry or bracelet CD's DVDs fluffy pillows an exquisite wall clock a lava lamp a pillow puppy (they are so amazing, and that they sell them at extra department stores) a mag perhaps a motorbike... yet that must be too plenty money candy a hair straightener a curling iron a hair dryer a house coat/gown hand lotion physique spray a mattress set bubble tub slippers a severe-high quality snow globe a jewellery field A music tool like a guitar or electric powered piano you stated OPI nail polish i'm unsure what that's.. i'm guessing that's a type of nail polish, sounds solid! a key chain a karaoke gadget a handbag a delicate blanket a plate set, with distinctly colourful a plate, cup and bowl a scrap reserving kit image frames a transportable dvd participant (they are quite inexpensive!) magazines colourful pens a bean bag chair on your room an artwork kit, with like paint and glitter and different exciting stuff And uggs appears like a solid concept they are heat and intensely severe-high quality! Oh i prefer an Ipod 4g, yet they are quite costly, perhaps you need to ask for one!! hmm... it extremely is each and every thing i ought to think of of.... wish this helped! Merry Christmas!! :)

    Bought myself the Nikon D600 as an early Christmas present. Already pro.

    Yes.

    No.

    Don't particularly care.

    Don't understand the number system anyway...it seems to be pretty random.

    Well, no. I can't control other peoples' cameras.

    YES.

    YES.

    Yes. And it's a good thing.

    You left out the part where you told us your motivation for asking this stuff. :)

    **Edit**

    Wow, I feel dull. Pardon my missing that entirely. And while I don't come here very often anymore (kinda busy going to school and running a business and whatnot), I think I'll be avoiding Y!A until March, at least.

    I have a couple frying pans and some cool pots.

    I'm going to be a profeshunal chef and open up my very own restaurant next month. Holy crap. I'm gonna be rich!!

    * I have friends in the restaurant and photography industry and watch their struggles often. It amazes me how many people think so many careers are just so easy to start and become rich off of. So much lack of patience.

    LMAO This is great. Did you know that the P setting stands for "Professional?"

    If you want a great laugh, check out the MWAC Attack videos on Youtube. You have to start at the beginning to get the whole hilarity of it.

    [EDIT[ She's a peach, isn't she? I have her as a friend as well. She's the reason I use the word Rockstar on a regular basis.

    OOH! You forgot these gems:

    You can't use Photoshop to get that effect.

    Why would you WANT to get that effect?

    That photo has to be real. It's too crappy to be Photoshopped.

    The best way to get that Instagram effect is...wait for it...get Instagram!

    Instagram makes me want to shoot myself in the head.

    It looks that way because you're using on camera flash close up in a dark room.

    It looks like a snapshot.

    Did you know that turning the little ring at the end of the lens helps you focus?

    I know I'm forgetting some, but I'll remember later.

    [EDIT] No, you probably don't. I friended her on Facebook after watching her amazing videos. Sometimes I comment and post things. I just thread-jacked one of her photos that you commented on.

    I didn't get a new camera, but I did get a nice fluffy shawl to wrap in when at the computer. Is there a future career in that?

  • 8 years ago

    as for rick he displays answers addiction, no humour, hes 4 foot 6, with a tiny wenna.........his highlight in life is throwing stones out of his glass house, telling young girls they are ugly and being a jerk, typical bully boy behaviour, those that can not do.....get on answers and show the world their poor character........

    sad, mean, lonely and desperate i would say.,,,,

    your friends know your having fun, we like fun.......just as others like to be nasty, sad ........ops im repeating myself

    So don't answer the questions if you are so bothered. Were you never young and curious? Why are you so arrogant?
