Greetings! I am a "professional hobbiest"-in other words, I do make money on photography, but it's not my main or sole source of income (right now, I could only dream of that-but the best dreams are really goals). I have no professional training, but have been into photography since I was a child. I am here to learn from the best. I have a full time "regular" (non-photography related) job, my own business (which encompasses photography as well as several other venues), and have little time left for classes. I don't personally feel I am best at any one "type" of photography (landscape, wedding, automotive, etc), but I do know I have a hard time with anything that's posed (automotive & people-I have absolutely no interest in photographing people though). Action, nature, wildlife-those come easier to me, because I have less time to think about the shot. I find the more I think about the shot, the worse the end result actually is-I overthink it and miss small details that ruin the pic (like a weird reflection, a piece of junk on the ground I should have moved, etc).
So, that's the nutshell. I apologize in advance if I ask stupid noob questions!
