I have managed to dodge the rain showers and complete a job for a rare breed farmer, producing images for their website and for their information literature. It was a fun two days lying in the mud, stalking chickens and ducks........not to mention the problem with the geese! This is my favourite shot, and it was an unbelievably late brood for this proud mum.
Last night I was shown the new website of an amateur photographer, now posing as a pro, and putting themselves out to the great event-going public as a horse/dog /event photographer. Never fails to amaze me how these people want to turn pro, yet they accept their images being used in major publications for free, and get all emotional with excitement, telling all their mates theyare now a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER just because they got a by-line. BY-LINES DO NOT PAY THE BILLS AND THEY MAKE YOU CHEAP AND USED. When will these weekend warriors get the message I wonder??? Infact it makes you wonder how they even pay their public liability insurance and get their equipment PAT tested, when they are just giving away their work.
