The forum IS a multylayer mentor system !

It is the main reason for me to be here ! So many excellent teachers !
I have got lot of good advice from here.

Just a pity that I cant meet you in real life. It would be defenetly exciting to be "a shadow" for several members here - even only for couple of hours

This is getting to be very interesting. The notion of mentoring on a one to one basis is very attractive to a 'begginer', like me. Small bites at a time. Camera specific. One issue at a time, e.g Composition, Sharpness. Working with the kit that we have, not with the ideal or the kit we would like. Honest, practical, achievable. I am very interested, as a recipeint at this stage, in time I might then be able to mentor another ' beginner'.

I find a tripod invaluable in wildlife photography. I can Set the camera and a remote flash on a nest, hole, feeding table etc. then sit quitely nearby and fire shots off, by remote, when the subject comes into range. My subjects are often a bit timid but most are very partial to a crumbled digestive biscuit. My wildlife subjects tend to be limited to my garden. Apart from birds I am lucky tohave frogs, toads, newts, mice, hedgehogs, spiders etc.

As an amateur, my photography is a liesure activity. I take a camera with me, not knowing what I shall find. On occaisions I revisit a subject many times, try different angle, lighting etc. Mostly I fail to capture the image to my satisfaction, sometimes I succeed. A proffessional would know exactly what they [or the client] want befor venturing out and usually succeed first time. So what! I have more fun.

As an amateur I am well pleased with my K10, but guess I would have to be looking for a lot more precision if I were to depend on my camera for a living. Wishing you every success in your new career. A craftsman does need the right tools for the job.

I have the K10D, and as long as it does what it supposed to do, I won't upgrade. For my type of photography I just don't see any advantage.
I'll rather spend the money on some extra quality glass.

Martin.

My sentiments entirely. The K10 does everything I ask of it, rather spend money on a lens or another wireless flash.

If it moves I shoot it! Wildlife and landscapes at the moment. Hope to graduate into portraits.
