Pro is when you stop asking others advice. When you go past the point of feeling you need others to critique your work.
So absolutely no one here is a pro? Man... asking advice makes you a non-pro. That's a new one. I wonder how all those people making a hellacious living and still humble enough to accept feedback and advice feel about that.
I think most of the folks on this thread are talking about MWAC's and such, with watermark logos and studios in the spare bedroom.
I don't know why you seem so offended and ready to pounce on anyone who shares the same views as the OP.
It's a general discussion.
I haven't seen anyone pointing a finger at YOU.
ohhhhh...catfight....** grabs coolwhip and 7D** best use of 8fps I ever did see.I'm not really offended, more like amazed at the amount of ... immaturity? Maybe that's not the word I'm looking for. If they -are- talking about me, then it's a mistake. I have no studio in my bedroom, I don't charge for my practicing and I'm not looking at going "pro" anytime in the near future. Is there something wrong with someone having a studio in a spare room of their house and having a watermark, though? Does it make them less talented than the guy downtown with a rented studio?
It is a general discussion. That's my input on it. :er:

Before KP007 replies with more of his drivel (haven't actually seen a helpful post from him yet), the answer to both of your questions is no. I'm a complete hobbyist, and I plan on putting in a studio at some point. I just want to be able to use lights in a controlled setting. I would be surprised if I ever sold a single photograph in my lifetime. There's nothing wrong with a watermark. If you want to use one, there's no reason you shouldn't. KP007 is just an arrogant you-know-what who thin:mrgreen:ks he know's better.
Pardon my rant, I've had a glass and a half of wine.
Why is it that it seems that once one gets a DSLR, they decide to"go pro" while their pics look like crap? I suppose one could fix certain things in photoshop or some other post processing technique, but why wouldn't you want to learn how to correctly shoot the subject in the first place? How is it that some "pros" are on a beginners forum asking straight up simple questions?
So I get my brothers' pics from his wedding last month and OMG, some are good, but there is nothing special about them except some photoshopping etc...and the lady charged 3500 FREAKING dollars!
I guess I am a perfectionist, if I didn't have a solid understanding of the foundations of photography, I would never sell myself to someone else as being a pro.
They are generally derogatory terms for people (Men or women) who just buy a DSLR and go out shooting in auto, or just a way to reference someone who has a DSLR but isn't interested in photography as a hobby, they just wanted "nicer pictures".ok , i give what is MWAC and a GWC
little did i know i would need a handguide to read opinions:lmao:

KP007 is a chick.....see above.
Absolutely!Ok.. not to fuel the fire of a thread I'm sure will take forever to die...
But here's a question:
Can a person be highly skilled, present themselves and their work with professionalism, but provide their services for free and still be considered a professional?
I am so confused!Absolutely!Ok.. not to fuel the fire of a thread I'm sure will take forever to die...

Because professional means highly skilled, being an expert at what you do.
