Hi and Welcome to the Forum. "Have always been a snapper, but am trying to outgrow that status" I think that applies to a lot of us.

Hello Fred and welcome to the fold. You have certainly come to the right place for assistance, just don't ask me anything past the "push shutter button thingy" type of question.
Do join in the chats and post some photos.
Regards,
Stephen

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

If I've outgrown 'Snapper' it's only to get to 'Dabbler'. The quality of the photos may not have improved much, but I play with many more techniques (IR, macro, digiscoping...).
I think its just the first signs of LBA (lens buying addiction) but so far at least its all been fairly cheap (

Looking forward to get some advice from the Pros on here.
Have always been a snapper, but am trying to outgrow that status, for which I am following online as well as classroom training.
