From an inside line angle,
I'd say Picman sets the standard from a photographic quality point of view too. I don't think I've seen quality like theirs from other TD snappers (and of course I have a vested interest in such work)..
As for me doing online ordering and buying £1500 of kit from Antonye etc....I'd love to do such things but it has to be put into context for me......
Since Feb.....I've earnt £700 from my photography. Don't get me wrong.. I'm ecstatic with that to say it's from all intents and purposes a hobby still....but that's turnover not profit...that's from back to back weekends away, 5 hour drives each way etc....4 hours per night for 4 nights editing pics/uploading after BSB events etc...£5k on equipment etc
As an ex-business person I know you have to speculate to accumulate, but earning £5 per hour in a furniture factory 5 days a week and working my weekends trackside means my wings are somewhat clipped in terms of branching out...
Watch this space tho'..I'll get there one day, but in year one, I'm pretty happy how things are 'panning' out so far.
Cheers for the thoughts folks.
Guy
