[QUOTE="Beanbagfrags, post: 597503, member: 42549"] I think the missing picture here is that everyone needs to start somewhere. OP could be a amateur or a pro, but he is not boasting in threads to try and make himself above others, he asked a simple question, whether he chooses to come back or not is his choice. I have had action sports photos in newsletters and newspapers...were they perfect...NO not by any means but taking the photos for high school/college teams helped me pay for my unrelated to photography schooling. I was using a D60/D200 and 55-200mm. The school board loved the photos I sent in, because well there was no one else handing them in. I later started doing local soccer teams team photos and individual portraits, once again not perfect but parents LOVED them, as no one else was doing it and my prices covered my time and expenses with giving me some experience. You have stated in another thread about being "sued". I would hope that someone that is a "Pro" would have a contract somehow stating that electronics are electronics and things do happens and will not be held responsible... (we are all humans) Hobbiest/Semi Pro/Pro who cares, to some it's a hobby and to others it's a job. It does not change anything about the status of that person to me. They are all doing photography which we all here enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
