How long does the buzz last ???

What have you done Stokie 47 you will be trapped for ever now and there is no way out . Worst then that you might even go to the dark side :suspect: and you now what happens there :nuts: well done and enjoy it :thumbs:
 
About 38 years so far and still buzzin ;) Just keep telling yourself the next shot will be better then you will be well and truly hooked :lol:
 
The buzz just lasts, and lasts, and lasts. It's a hobby that i've had for 2 years now and i've never once got bored of it.
 
First started out many years ago with 35mm,and got a huge buzz out of that,moved on to buy all the darkroom gear etc...Then disaster!-Marriage and 5 kids kind of killed my little hobby.. :'(

However-after recently buying a shiny new 1000D,i am totally enraptured once again!
Find myself snapping just about everything in sight,with the wife thinking iv'e gone nuts:)
The buzz is back,bigger than ever,and the only "problem" now...Is that i cant stop thinking about some new glass! (And how to persuade the wife i really do need it :D)
Enjoy it! (Just have to develop a mental block that prevents you looking too closely at the CC statements)
 
My buzz started in college (about 13 years ago) when I was doing Nursing... I had to take an 'elective', a random subject. None of them really grabbed my attention, but I optedfor photography. My dad lent me his old heavy Practika (Praktica?) which had no light metering due to a drop. I had to learn everything manually. I got into B&W film shots, did all sorts during the course, still life, self portrait, studio lighting, some model work and our own assignments. I remember being on top of a mountain outside Ebbw Vale where someone had dumped some electronics (TV's mostly) so we got a model who was a bit of a goth and it looked really cool - shame I can't find the negatives....

After that, I got the buzz. Did more film shooting for years until I got my D40 about 18 months ago, which really helped me to learn more about exposure and I was able to be a bit more experimental without having to wait for developing the film.

I intend to keep my fix, and maybe, maybe one day, sell some prints!

Keep going, you'll always learn something, find something new to shoot. Chances are, you know you've got a real buzz when you see something neat and you haven't got your camera - the first thing you think is 'Dang! I wish I had my camera for that!'

BTW - I never did become a nurse - I ended up in retail for ten years and now I'm a Web Developer...
 
Glad to hear you have the Buzz. Maybe of word of "advice". Keep in touch with other photographers either in a club, this forum or wherever. The buzz from them becomes infectious and it stays. If you isolate yourself from others, and that your photography remains a hobby, you may find the buzz goes away.
It did for me in the past but has come back with a vengance! So to keep buzzing, keep sharing and look at other people's work and have a lifetime of happy photography.
