I got into photography back in 1988 ( I was 22yrs old ) and my first decent slr was a Minolta X300 and all the relavent kit to go with it. My best 35mm camera was a new Canon EOS 5 with which I managed to get into a bit of freelance work with whilst I was in my engineering job,weddings and the like,I even managed to do some work for a magazine called Best of British ( mainly vintage toy model stuff ). I work from home now as a electrical service engineer but would still love to take pictures for a living,although competition makes it hard + the cost of the high end equipment needed to do so but I believe a good shot can be taken from lesser cameras and still have the wow factor! I only have a fuji finepix 4meg bridge camera and have loads of fun with it ( it is pushed to the limit though lol ). I live in the village of Little Bytham Lincolnshire and now aged 45 I still have much to learn about picture taking. Regards to you all |

It's not the equipment (although that helps), it's the eye for a picture and the ability to bring that picture to your camera, be it point-and-shoot or top end DSLR. If you can see a picture then you can use anything! Andy |
