Any other Photographers about on this site? I'm a pretty keen amateur but I try to get out to shoot whenever I can.
Currently using a Nikon D7000 for my digital stuff, an Old Nikon FE for 35mm and a Bronica ETRS for Medium format. Hoping to start develpoing my own negatives soon  |

"Oh and the ones who profess to be "photographers"  "
I use the term to cover everyone who enjoys taking pictures, just a term for people who enjoy the hobby. |

Think you got some answers....
Can't see any rude or horrid comments on your thread. |

I am a published and exhibited amateur.
I don't count camera phone and point a shoot users as photographers. Anyone with one of them and an instagram account is deluding themselves if they dub themselves a photographer. |

A photographer is only as good as the equipment he/she has to hand |

And you could have an expensive camera, all the right props, lighting etc and still take a crap picture!
Good photographers have a natural eye regardless of equipment. |

You don't need expensive dslr cameras to be a photographer!
I have seen some excellent pics taken by a camera phone! |

I think people get confused with pghotography and taking pics!
ok Ive no interest in developing film etc, I prefer the digital media.
but I'd never turn up to a meet(any camera is fine to an extent), take lots of snaps then hand them over on the memory card(unless the camera has some decent editing features)
I prefer to make some pics look like art, a creative perspective on the situation
*and I do take pics of almost anything..more or less have my camera with me on a daily basis |

Totally agree, although having the right equipment could benefit x |

I'd also say Fabs, display of pics isnt that great..the quality is vastly reduced..so it pays to take good pics, at least they will look semi-shit instead of absolute shit |

Apologies, I obviously got the wrong end of the stick and over reacted. I'll remove my head from my arse and keep posting ;^)
Back on topic, I do agree that to a certain extent that the best camera is the one you have on you but I also dont think it means that people should limit themselves to gear that is easy to carry around and use. I learned more on a manual film camera than i ever did on a point and shoot. |

Of course, for example a long exposure would not work on a camera phone.
But again even if you have the expensive gear and no eye or flair you just won't get the desired result.

I have lugged heavy camera equipment across fields at 4 am to get the sunrise but also a photographer has to seize their opportunity and within seconds the moment could have passed. |

Awesome, does anyone here process their own film? I'm looking at starting out processing b+w negatives then scanning them in. Used to do it in college but that was a long time ago so any advice is appreciated |

Canon user here, 7D with a bag full of lens to go with it.
Mostly motorsport or wildlife and macro, mainly but have been known to get the lights out and have a play but not very often, would love to find another female to play with the wife whilst i take pics but properly lit, not just them fumbling about on the bed.

Some people have no idea about avatar pics...toilets in backgrounds do me nut in! I don't find them sexy at all and it's always men.
Well lit, good angles, focus, subject and style (whatever that is) is what I like seeing in a photo. |

So whats everyones favourite subject to shot then? Protrait, street, landscape, urbex?
I do some freelance work for motorsports magazines mainly covering classic racing but my real love is travel photography, I would love to be able to do it for a living but a lottery win is needed first I think |

Makes a lot of sense. Its sometimes those cheeky shots that become your favourites. Not because of the technical composition of a photo but the memory of when/where it was taken

If you can't compose a decent image with a point and shoot or a phone camera, then all the SLR's, lenses and lights in the world won't help you.
I was a pro photographer for 8 years until this week. I'm now semi-pro as I'm studying for a degree in an entirely unrelated subject.
I mainly shoot Motorsport and gigs. I occasionally shoot models but, to be honest, it bores the crap out of me, way too static ! |

Just bought myself a Canon 450D as I had my other DSLR stolen on holiday a couple of years ago. I have been using decent compacts since. If any couples or single fems want any pic's taken and live in the NW I would be happy to oblige. |

The static photos on your profile don't look boring! Good luck with your studies |

Nonsense. If you don't have they eye and brain for it, you can use the most expensive camera, and still produce crap. |

I got into photography by chance...I use to race supermoto but had one to many breaks and work started to put the squeeze in me due to time off so, I started taking pics and it went from there ! I use to race ktm myself, started in a SMR 450 then moved up and ended up racing a ktm SMR 613 in the S1 class |
