Hi there,
I am me, and contrary to my username (it's a football thing) I am based in Eastbourne.
I am a rank amateur and my experience so far is with a 7D and me playing with the manual settings. I will admit to being a bit of a tech tart, and already have a beady eye on the 5D mark iii.
I'm looking to get more involved in photography as I have enjoyed it immensely and have been lucky enough to have done several events through family and friends. Whilst my shots are above 'snap' standard, I am painfullly aware that I know pretty much nothing about the subject, with my better shots being the result of trial and error rather than a sound underpinning knowledge.
Ideally I would like to reach a level of photgraphy at which I am paid £500k per year for a maximum of 100 days work in the same period.
Realistically, I would like to reach a point where I can give up my day job and subsist entirely on the profits from photography.
My long term plans are to travel the world and if I could earn from photography whilst doing so then that would just be gravy.
Subject-wise I'm a nature guy, I do alot of hiking and exploring and love the wildlife stuff, although to my dismay I seem to have natural ability in the portrait field, and struggle in the wildlife one.
I'm not really down with joining a local club. I don't have enough consistent time to devote to something like that. I'm all over the shop with work and whilst spare time is plentiful, it's not regularly spaced.
Any ideas, advice or anything at all would be most gratefully received.
Thanks for having me!!

I think you're setting your sights a bit low there. Personally, I want £500k for 10 hours work p.a. and for somebody to pay me to travel around the world.
in your posts until people get to know you better and are sure that you're talking tongue in cheek.
