I've always had an interest in photography and had 35mm SLR cameras for years although recently I've been using a compact digital. I've decided that I'd like photography to be a bit more than a hobby though. I've bought a decent digital SLR, a Nikon D50, the quality of the photos it produces is superb.
I've done photography courses over the years and reckon I can take photos as well as anyone, I have no formal qualifications though but am going to look into that this year.
I've already lined up one family function which I will be photographer at, a 60th birthday party. I'm also pitching for work at two local day nurserys to photograph the kids and sell the parents copies.
Going digital makes things much much simpler in terms of reproducing photos. Basically I was wondering if there are any photographers on the forum that can advise on how they got started? I know word of mouth is important which I'm hoping the function coming up will help with.
