[QUOTE="Smoke, post: 386837, member: 14162"] Pan, You sound exactly like me. "I" think I take some pretty good shots but I don't know if it is low self esteem, OCD or what but I'm always afraid of "If ever I was asked to do a photo shoot for someone", it won't be good enough......"In my mind". I think that is my problem. The person may love the photo but I will always second guess myself if it could have been better or feel embarrassed that I used "Auto" mode instead of "Manual"....I recently designed and purchased 100 business cards from Vistaprint. If ever I have the nerve to hand one out, and I get a phone call to do a shoot......I will probably be throwing up in the bathroom all day before the shoot. On the other hand, I bump into other photographers now and again and they give me links to their websites, etc, to be honest some where not that good (IMO) so I guess we need to just take the plunge at some point and start small. I would love to do this for a supplemental income if I ever got the guts to hand out my first business card. [/QUOTE]
