Don't just look cool

Just watched the latest Jared Polin Video about a quote from 1927 which i have been saying all along. When i first joined my local camera club and there was 5 of us in the beginners section i had the "crappy" camera the lowest spec a Canon 400D while the rest had 7D and 5D thinking they were so cool to have such a great camera but the fact is they had no idea of how to use them and how to make it work for them hell 3 of them kept it on auto just go buy a point and shoot ffs. I have had my camera for almost 2yrs now and been lucky enough to shoot some great events from Pro Boxing, premier football, Gigs with full access and i still get looked at as if im a beginner which is fine by me because i know my camera inside and out almost, they are still trying to figure out how the camera will take better pictures for them and in truth it's a partnership and im still learning but as i get to know my gear it get to know me i understand what it is capable of and how i can use that in any situation i do get it wrong from time to time but that's the point to learn, maybe some time next year i will upgrade but only when i'm ready and not just to look cool.

Reasons Why Photographers Cannot Work for Free

If you have been directed to this page, it is likely that you have requested the use of an image or images for free or minimal compensation.

As professional photographers, we receive requests for free images on a regular basis. In a perfect world, each of us would love to be able to respond in a positive manner and assist, especially with projects or efforts related to areas such as education, social issues, and conservation of natural resources. It is fair to say that in many cases, we wish we had the time and resources to do more to assist than just send photographs.
