Any photographers?

title says it all.

I don't mean point and shooters, and i don't mean people who got enough money for a DSLR and take pictures of the park, or their food.

Legitimate photographers who make money doing weddings, portraits, etc etc

I have a Canon T3i and I take cool photos in my spare time. I focus a lot on astral photography and photos of nature. But no, I'm not "professional." You won't find any of those here. I don't just snap photos though.

My grandmother does though.

I love that camera! And yea it is, but it's hard to get the settings right, and it has to take in light over a good amount of time. Being in Afghanistan is a curse and a blessing: being as how I have little to no light pollution, and I can see the galaxy above, but the time I have to capture light is long.

I feel you on the settings part! I use to photograph parties, and they are often very dark. I have to take so many test shots to get the settings right. but it all develops good skills. I wanna go to Afghanistan so bad. I have a few friends who have gone their as part of their active duty. I even lost one to an IUD. sad. :/

Set wide apatures and you gotta get the ISO and exsposure times right to keep it from being too grainy, and not blurry. I know that feel. Taing photos of moving objects and subjects in dark places while maintaining quality and making it look cool is a bitch. it is good though, you learn through practice.

Yea it's pretty cool over here. I am sorry about your friend, someone on my COP rolled an ATV over a pressure plate IED and we lost him. It still hasn't hit me yet. It's a risk you have to take though, and you know what you sign up for.

I am, yes. I don't get out as much as I would like to though.
