In short Rich, I can't cover my costs (costs=finanical outlay, time spent at meetings, time spent uploading shots to mags and editing, personal sacrifices like being away from home 14 weekends in the summer, couple all that to people earning from my work/efforts but refusing to pay and I have kind of become disollusioned with it all) Quote:
Will try and cover this in my lesson/s Frank (did I really just say that??? LOL!!) Quote:
Thank you Craig, genuinely touched. Quote:

Never used filters MM998 except circular polarisers when there's a lot of glare so might not be able to help too much here. | ||||||

There's some basic 'suck-egg' photography in here but you'd be amazed by some of the questions I get asked that prove not everything is simple or fully understood by all those with cameras. It's a real skim of the surface, as to put over 25yrs of photo taking into a few slides is pretty difficult. These steps are some of what I do. It is "skim of the surface" because how I get the shots is largely down to my own hard work, blood, sweat and effort and I'm not about to divulge everything on a public forum when I struggle to make a go of it now without giving all of my secrets away too. When you read this stuff and the work and thought that goes into what I do, you can probably understand why I get so insulted and disollusioned when someone wants me to give my pics away as though saying "it's easy so why should I pay you". I'm a perfectionist so what I do won't apply to all I'm sure, but it'll give you something to think about that might just improve your output. As I've said in the pages, Photography is a thinking man's game.......so it's not just down to hints and tips although I'm sure they help. Please contact me if you have any queries at all, and I'll try and help where I can.
