Why do my photos keep printing off blurry at Walmart Photo Center?
If you are interested as to why you are having problems, here is the reason. Facebook, or any online site, or any image on a computer, only needs a resolution (pixels per inch) of 72. A print, on the other hand, needs typically 300 pixels per inch for a quality print. When you take photos from FB, you only have the 72ppi version of the photo, and that is too low a resolution for a good print. The fact that your photos look ok on your computer or FB means nothing, because of the far less resolution required. For good prints, you have to print the ORIGINAL files from your camera. You cannot take photos from a website or FB and get a good print. You should NEVER, repeat NEVER use FB as a storage place for your photos. Not even considering it is nothing you can depend on in years to come, the quality of the photo is degraded so that you cannot make prints, as you have seen. Store your original photos from your camera on either CD, or flashdrive, or an external hard drive. Use FB if you want to share photos, but never as an only place to keep your photos. Also, do not keep all your photos on your computer hard drive. Sooner or later you will lose them all. Keep them, as said, on external storage media. steve
I need a photo of a photographer while talking a picture, as well as the picture that he/she has been taking. Any idea how I can find it?
There are two choices here, One, iStock photo or any other stock photo agency. The second choice is to actually commission two photographers to help you make this happen. Considering you "need" these two photos, that would mean you are on a short time scale, so the second choice is the fastest way to make it happen, however you'd have to pay commercial rates for what you're looking for.
Which of these 3 photos is best suited as a LinkedIn profile picture and why?
Out of the 3 photos you provided, the first one is the best selection for 3 reasons:It's warmer, both in color and feel.Your smile looks more natural.The angle is straight on and distance is appropriate, instead of being above or too close up.Another good point (in general across all 3 photos): The background is blurred, so visual distractions are minimized and the focus is on your face.However, since this photo is specifically for LinkedIn, I'll note that it clearly looks like a "selfie," which is great for Facebook or other personal social sites, but typically is a "no-no" for the professional nature of LinkedIn's platform.I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker per se, because I wouldn't discount it as unprofessional, but I would definitely recommend having someone else take a nice photo of you (a friend or colleague if you can't or don't feel like getting a photographer).Best of luck!Have more questions related to this topic?

Want to start a photography business as a 15 year old?
a young photographer as recommended by seasoned photog David Jay: http://elizabethannphoto.com/ So yes it is possible to be a successful teenage photographer. if this is something you'd like to do still, i suggest you don't just jump into it. that's not how careers are made. Take classes, intern with a professional. Professional being someone that has had their work shown in galleries or museum or speaks to (holds classes for) other photographers. i did the same when i was a teenager in college. google portrait photographer, and subscribe to their blogs. subscribe to photography magazines i.e: Photography Today and Rangefinder. Attend workshops and network with other photographers your age. theres a lot that goes in to the back end of the business. finally, google jasmine star's youtube channel. she is very forthcoming in all the ins and outs of the biz.
Can you make a living being a photographer?
I am sixteen years old. And I have a passion for photography. I know you're probably thinking I'm just another dumb teenager with a camera because half the teens nowadays think they're photographers. But I do think I have talent, and I wouldn't think that if people wouldn't have told me so. I don't have a camera, I have an iPhone 3GS. And if you've ever used an iPhone 3GS you know that the camera isn't THAT great, and whenever I tell people that's what I use they're always like "woah your pictures are good for an iPhone 3GS!" And people say I have an "eye for photography". Since I live in the country I take alot of pictures of the field, grass, sky, sunset, my cats, my family ect. People always seem to like them and I enjoy doing it. But could I one day make a living doing it? Or would it have to be like a side-job and I have another, better job?
