How to drive...
I really wish id spent the time learning to drive and spent the money buying a car before I started getting into such an expensive hobby.
I really think that my photography would be much better if I had chance to attend half the events that I want to... instead of having to hitch a lift all the time and rely on other folk with similar interests. At most events im happy to stay until it goes dark, but, 9 times out of ten my lift wants to go well before im finished.

DSLR's are inevitable....
Spent too much time and money on P&S, before realising i needed the flexabilty of a DSLR.
But after saying that i still carry my Fuji F31fd everywhere with me, just in case.

I've heard this time and time again from the older generation of photography experts. I have two older friends that are working in camera stores to bide the time before they land a career in photography. It is pretty disappointing considering it's such a wonderful and enjoyable skill to have
@Petemc - Do you consider yourself lucky to have a career in photography? Does it make you feel great to know that you was chosen out of the many people doing the same thing? I for one envy you for sure!
As for the purpose of the topic -- I only started properly about a year ago so I guess I can't say much. I used to use presets a lot back then when I should have been using manual settings accordingly. Anyone can use presets and create a beautiful shot. I simply hate people now that say:
"All you do is point and click"
Eugh. Go away!
