I did read a short while back that you, Ant, no longer get any clients due to "too many doing it now", I suspect thats due to other reasons and one of those is because you do not listen, whether that be to us or to your clients or to the lack of them. I am not dissing your work, this is purely observational, plus, i am far from a professional, I wouldnt entertain the idea as i just do not have the eye for it, i just learnt how to use a camera in a limited capacity so i could shoot my dogs and the Red Kite. Any hoo, you on the other hand decided to go "pro" pretty much from the get go and knowing diddly squat except for where the shutter button is you setup a portfolio and called ya self a "pro". My idea of a "pro" at one time was, if youre making money at it as your main career, then you are a professional, but you actually changed my mind pretty darn quick. Making money means squat, being a professional means you are at a high standard and that normally means you're either qualified or that you have acquired enough experience in the profession that you can confidently make it your main career. The latter was me in PDR, i was shown how to do it during employment as a refurb tech, and i practised for over a year, i could take dents out at that stage but it took another 6 years before i was confident enough to go it alone. Some go on a 2 week training course and think they can do it, but then thats why i get called after them to fix their hash browns, so yeah, i call myself a professional Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) technician even though i am self taught and have no qualifications for it, if you can remove dents from a car where some idiot has ran up the bonnet, on to the roof and down the boot, then youre a pro. Anyway, what i am trying to say is, listen to others, stop making the same mistake, think before you leap. Youve now gotten to the point with me whereby i look forward to seeing you in the latest posts just to see whats next, its quite entertaining at 3am, but its also repetitive because you do not listen, you ask the same thing over and over, what settings did you use, i even came across one of your replies to a post on another forum by accident, and i quote, "what camera and what settings did you use", in case its slipped your mind, it was images of a blue porsche at night, everyone else was all praise etc, not you, youre trying to gain youre experience thinking you can copy others settings, granted, in same professions you can, togging is not as strict, what i mean is, there are many factors that make a great photo, while applying other settings can help as a starting place, it wont make your photo the same as theirs, that takes time. OK, bored now, i should post this and let the boys out.....
PS, no one likes a grammar queen folks, i have not proofed it
As long as "Professional" results are replicated, it doesn't matter if you have 0.1 hours of experience or 10000 hours. I wish to get at least to start out at amateur-level before day 1 is over from never doing it at all utilizing all the powers of the technology we have today to use. |
