I'm looking for an excellent digital camera to take photos with of a wide variety of subjects; everything from my daughter's ballet class with lots of movement to nature. Any suggestions? (comment below)

I've recently taken up a photography course and I've found that taking action shots of public areas can be a real pain. I'm usually stopped by police saying professional photography is prohibited. I also find that approaching people and asking them if they're willing to pose for a shot is equally as frustrating and can be embarrassing. Any tips on overcoming this?

I am really interested in learning about photography. Any tips like what type of camera to get that is not too expensive.

I'm thinking about going to college for Photography as my major. Is it worth it, or maybe I'll be better off taking some classes and learning on my own?

I consider myself to be an amateur photographer, mainly as just a hobby. Any tips from professionals or anyone else willing to give me some tips? I need help.

I am looking for a digital camera that will be used for a lot of at night or low-light shots as well as very close-up shots. Additionally, I would like a camera that is in the "compact" or "ultra-compact" category if possible. What are some suggestions for specific cameras, or, in general what features should I be looking for on cameras' spec sheets that would tell me that the camera was good with low-light or up-close shots?

Digital cameras, which employ reusable memory cards instead of film, give you far more creative control than film cameras can. With a digital camera, you can transfer shots to your computer, then crop, adjust color and contrast, and add textures and other special effects.

O.K, so I'm only 15, but I like photography and would like to peruse it as a career someday. I have a decent digital camera, It's a 5mp camera with a 4x optical zoom and a pretty decent lens. It's just a point a shoot, but I didn't have $700 to spend on an slr. I've read a book that taught me about aperture and iso and stuff. Anyway, can photography be a potential career? What could I do, if it made decent money I would like shooting weddings and events and stuff (I like candid photography best) but am willing to explore other options. Know, since I'm only 15 I know I wont be making any money for awhile but what can I do now to prepare for later? I mean like practising my photography. Oh yeah, I am decent at editing my photos and have Paint Shop Pro. So, yeah, what can I do know and what should I do later?

P.S
You don't have to tell me that your not going to be able to do photography full time starting out, I know that photography would have to be a side job.

I have had photography classes, and I have done photography assignments in the past, nothing big. This is going to be about an hour or so of photography for a renewal of vows/wedding ceremony. How much should I charge?
