haven gone into the super rich & famous side yet... as in the DSLR!!!
but have forked out an amount of money just for the hobby which is not really related to work... so to get my funds, normally i would fake to say... hmm i need this to buy for taking better pics of the product... justified... buy... unjustified... also buy... either way... i wan... i buy...
best to have your company 'sponsor' it... like 'mine' heheh... currently the cheapo lights is paid by company... heheh.. but den again... its also my money... just making myself feel good... i say i using other ppl's money... cos it does not come out directly from my pocket.

this is what i learnt from the Durian exhibition....
getting paid for taking pictures of people's backs...telling them they will make good memorial photos when they are long gone.
Sell pictures taken through broken lens and call it a "F"artistic piece of work.

- Share lenses with shooting buddies.
- Be very focused about what you really want/need. Don't buy less than what you need.
- Buy 3rd party stuff. Some are really good.
- Buy used stuff. Learn to recognise good deals.
- If you really want to earn serious money from photography, get out of Singapore.
- SELLSELLSELL. Sell the car, sell the house, sell the kids, sell the wife, whatever.

Well, back to topic.. I save.. 5 dollars a day.. 3 months and i have a new lens
but yeah im still studyingMay I suggest this... this can be one way..
I have a fish hobbyist site and may need pictures from the various fish competitions.. a photographer who have interest in fish is really preferred here.. where some closeup shots of the winning fish will be the most awesome..
Hoping if I can get some specials rates, as this is a hobbyist site afterall, but I know professional good work won't be too cheap
if you may be keen, can you kindly drop me a pm to suggest a estimated pricing? (the confirm price can be discussed again with the next competition come up)
Thanks

get a job, work my a** off and everytime my @#^@!*& boss #@*!^#*&@ me ... i will look @ him n visualize a big new lens ... then i'll cool down n get back 2 work ... :bsmilie: ...
I think this is a common sense question. No offence meant but you can have the model answer
1) Get a job
2) Be content with what you have
Whatever hobbies you have, it is only expensive if you made it to be. Don't be penny wise, pound foolish.
