Mmmmm, difficult one really. After all I owe everything I currently own to my profession. But I’m getting bored of it. So looking a moving into what I’d really love to do, photography. Now comes the other stumbling block (or three).
I don’t know what I want to shoot. After all I have so many options to choose. Now people/modelling isn’t my thing, so at least that’s ruled out. Now sports is something that does interest me. However sports required a serious investment in kit (thinking 1D Mark II N and a minimum of a 400mm lens – Currently around 5k’s worth).
Qualifications wise for photography, I haven’t got any. So a thing to try is the Amateur Photography Diploma. It costs a very reasonable £300, but I’m wondering how recognised it is. Still it’ll get my photography skills up to scratch and hopefully technically better.
A lottery win might help, so here’s looking for that (in fairness I haven’t checked my tickets for the last month – still I think I can guarantee the outcome)
Motivation is currently a big stumbling block. I need to get out of this rut of being busy for the sake of being busy and actually do stuff. Today I did go and take a few shots, the aircraft ones were fine. The sun shots were, well rushed and it showed. Still got up and took pictures. Tomorrow morning (this morning actually), I’ll be heading into Birmingham to shop. The 5D will be with me, so I’ll endeavour to bag some shots.
So tomorrow is the first day of my new career?, hope so, we’ll see 😉
