Hi everyone,

My name is Rima, I live in Cork.

Love photography and everything about it :)
I am not a pro, but want to be one day :wink:

I have Sony A-100 camera and using sony 18-70mm and 70-300mm lenses and Tamron 90mm macro lense.

I am very glad I found this forum, as I need to learn a lot from you.

Welcome

More people from Cork. It must be that computers work better down there or something. Good luck with becoming a Pro some day.

Welcome aboard.

Just remember – there’s only one thing that differentiates a pro photographer from an amateur. They get paid.

Doesn’t necessarily make them any better at taking shots…. :D

I’m surprised that nobody has corrected this one yet.
Or is this another tongue in cheek comment?

The Pro should also be qualified, business registered, fully insured, tax and vat compliant. On a good day they can both
get excellent photographs. On a bad day and things are less than perfect I would expect a qualified professional to get
much better results. Another difference is that there is the 20/80 rule …….. 20% about taking photographs and 80%
about running a business and keeping it afloat.

Rima, welcome to the site and enjoy it. There’s a nice bunch of people here and you’ll find them very helpful.
