A survey question for all junior high/high school students: How heavy is your backpack?

Alan S

If you are related to a student, you may answer as well. And please state his (or their) grade, also.

P.S. Also state for how long you carry the backpack around and how much your back hurts (if at all) after carrying it.

Answer
My bag was 22 pounds when I was around 14 years old. It was crazy to lug that much weight to school everyday. It hurt quite a lot in the beginning. Luckily, I didn't have to bear with it for long as my parents bought me an ergonomic bag- it reduces the pressure on the back (if i'm not mistaken) so I wouldn't have to hunch. It was a godsend.

Answer
No. It's not a good ergonomic design. The shoulder straps are too narrow and will cut into the top of your shoulder when carrying a heavy load of books.

What is the best type of backpack for high school/college girl?

lalalala

I need a new backpack. It needs to be big enough to hold a some big binders and textbooks that I will be carrying around in highschool and that will last for use in college. Which one should I get?
I would specifically like to know which backpack brand would be best to have

Answer
I'm at University and I bought a new bag after I got accepted. I really, really love my Taargus. It's large enough to carry around my books, it has a padded compartment for my laptop, the straps are padded, and it has a strap across the front to distribute the weight more evenly. It also has 2 pouches on the outside that are the perfect size for water bottles or soda bottles. They're a little more expensive than something like a Jansport, but they hold up really well and are more ergonomic.

Good camera for photograpy?

Faith

I am 14 and very interested in photography. I was wondering what would be a good starter camera? Nothing to expensive but takes good pictures. Also are there any tips and tricks you know about photography? Anything else I should get besides a camera? I hopefully will be taking a class for photography next school year :)

Answer
Nikon and Canon are as good as each other overall. Each makes equally excellent lenses at the same price points, and each makes DSLRs with the same technical quality in each format. The differences lie in ergonomics and how well each camera handles, which is what allows you to get your photo â or miss it forever. Anyone who tries to tell you that one brand or the other is significantly better than the other in basic quality is incorrect.

1. Donât go crazy buying the most expensive equipment right away.

Itâs possible to get very nice photos with an inexpensive point and shoot. See these examples on Flickr. The more photos you take, the more youâll know about what kind of camera to get when itâs time to upgrade.

2. Consider a tripod.

On the other hand, an inexpensive tripod is worth getting, especially if you have shaky hands like mine. When I got a tripod, my satisfaction with my shots skyrocketed. For even more stability, use your cameraâs timer function with a tripod (read our introduction to tripods).

3. Keep your camera with you all the time.

Photo ops often come when you least expect it. If you can keep your equipment relatively simple â just a small camera bag and a tripod â you might be able to take advantage of some of those unexpected opportunities. Or, if your phone has a camera, use it to take ânotesâ on scenes youâd like to return to with your regular camera.


4. Make a list of shots youâd like to get.

For those times you canât carry your camera around, keep a small notebook to jot down places youâd like to come back and photograph. Make sure to note any important details, like the lighting, so you can come back at the same time of day or when the weatherâs right. If you donât want to carry a notebook, send yourself an email using your cell phone with Jott.com.

5. Donât overlook mundane subjects for photography.

You might not see anything interesting to photograph in your living room or your backyard, but try looking at familiar surroundings with fresh eyes. You might catch an interesting trick of the light or find some unexpected wildflowers in your yard. Often a simple subject makes the best shot.


6. Enjoy the learning process.

The best part of having a hobby like photography is never running out of things to learn. Inspiration is all around you. Look at everything with the eyes of a photographer and youâll see opportunities you never noticed before.

7. Take advantage of free resources to learn.

Browse through Flickr or websites like the Digital Photography School Forum for inspiration and tips. Also, your local library probably has a wealth of books on all types of photography. If youâre interested in learning about post-processing, give free software like the GIMP a try.

8. Experiment with your cameraâs settings.

Your point and shoot may be more flexible and powerful than you know. Read the manual for help deciphering all those little symbols. As you explore, try shooting your subjects with multiple settings to learn what effects you like. When youâre looking at your photos on a computer, you can check the EXIF data (usually in the fileâs properties) to recall the settings you used.

9. Learn the basic rules.

The amount of information about photography online can be overwhelming. Start with a few articles on composition. Be open to what more experienced photographers have to say about technique. You have to know the rules before you can break them.

10. Take photos regularly.

Try to photograph something every day. If you canât do that, make sure you take time to practice regularly, so you donât forget what youâve learned. An excellent way to motivate yourself is by doing the weekly assignments in the DPS Forum.

11. Donât be afraid to experiment.

If youâre using a digital camera, the cost of errors is free. Go crazy â you might end up with something you like. Youâll certainly learn a lot in the process.
