So much to learn.

[pwrstrk02]

I have been doing some serious studying. I want to do pet photography and portraits. This will be my first Professional digital, and I'm going to jump into a nikon d7000. :0 I have done some on my regular film camera, but got tired of paying to have a roll developed to find I don't like them. That isn't the sole reason for moving to to digital, but a big part.
My dog is the one that has inspired me to start pet photography. I love the action shots, and I love to capture the pet in a dog and their personality that only the owners ever realy see. I like portraits that capture more personality than just "a yearbook photo".
Another thing I like, is automotive photography. I like sexy cars, I like old classic cars, I like to "see" what the vehicle is all about. I also think the over produced car pictures are cool too.
So, is the d7000 good enough? I plan on spending $3k for camera and lenses, new computer ( which I'm in dire need of anyway ), and Photoshop.
I usualy go full bore when I do something. If I don't like it, no big deal, I tried. I picked up the guitar five years ago, learned every song I could think of, then just stopped. Beings I'm a huge animal lover (not PETA extreme ), I think this should let me capture the beauty in everyones pet that one should expect.
I know I have a long way to go to a paid shoot, but I'll get there.
