Thanks Phil. I will have a look in the business section too.

Well have to say that's some mix of answers. Again appreciate all the points and they have certainly made me rethink things a bit. I think it's fair to say my first step is to practice and keep practicing. I know I'm a long way off being a pro. I have read a couple of interesting articles...

Firstly thanks to everyone for your replies. I really do appreciate them. I have been away so have only had a quick glance on my phone. I will to take my time to read them properly and offer a decent reply when I get home tonight. Cheers for now

Thanks for your response Simon, however finding customers isn't my concern. It's having the confidence to go out, take the photos and feel comfortable charging for them. I am staying in my job for the foreseeable. Financially I can't just give up my job. I want to build the photography around...

Hello all! I am after a bit of guidance and advice please. I have been "playing around" with photography for the last 18 months almost. When I bought my camera it was intended to be a hobby but I have been well and truly sucked in. I decided quite early on last year that I wanted to tray and...

Hi! I did the Saturday course at City college. It was very good. I learned a lot.

Could you maybe make a site of your own with wix.com (I think you can make free websites with them) or something similar and just share the link with friends and family? Usually quite easy to do as it doesn't require any coding etc...

Thanks David, Looks like a fun thing to try - ideal!

The banner is going indoors in a frame at the bottom of the escalator - I can't be more specific right now but will show you all if and when it's completed. I think when it comes to actually printing the image - I will set it up at 300dpi at 25% scale. I'll then output at 400% scale at 75dpi and...

Thanks guys. I'm going to be doing the printing myself. Probably should've mentioned that I'm a sign maker by day so have a wide format machine at work. Main difference is that the day to day stuff we normally do is vector based. I think I might take a couple of test shots enlarge them to the...

Evening all.... I was hoping to get a bit of advice. I am working on a project at work for one of our clients and they want a picture of Southampton (landmark, docks or something along those lines) as a large format banner. The final banner will be approx 4000mm x 1750mm. I was thinking that I...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Look forward to getting involved.

I had a little attempt at this in the back garden recently. Here's the result. Nikon 55-300mm, ISO100, f8, 300mm 1/200. Full Moon - Hampshire by arcocreative, on Flickr

Hi All, My name is José! I am a sign maker and designer based in Hampshire! I guess I can consider myself an amateur photographer now too. I've had an interest in photography for a long time. In december I got my first DSLR. I got a Nikon D3200 - with 18-55mm kit lens - I also have a nikon...
