For you Pros and Advanced Amateurs

[Wheels]

For those of you who tog for a living or are very good at amateur level, do you still carry on learning new things or is there a point where you get to know everything and can not progress in your craft?

I know little about photography but looking at my past life, the day you stop learning is the day they dig the grave...:nuts:

I was only asking as I didnt know if new techniques were a regular update.

I wish you'd tell that to my missus.

I've been taking photographs for nearer to 60 than 50 years now, and everyday something new installs itself into my knowledge box...How anybody could become bored with photography is beyond my comprehension.

You dont look a day over 21 Do you prefer film or digital??

The more I know, the more I realise that I know nothing...

There's always something new to discover...

Digital has made every day a learning experience.

The software is so complex and you can do so much with it - if you want - that you never stop learning.

With film.....well, it was a mature technology really and you kind of reached a knowledge plateau with it.

Oh. You sweet talker you...I did start taking pics at about 7yrs of age and still going strong!.....Film and digital in about equal measure

Sold my first photos in 1945 and I'm still learning.

 

[Dave Stone]

Always something new to learn. TP and the people I have met on here have taught me more than any school, college or uni could ever teach (not that I went to uni).

 

[KIPAX]

good grief.. dont trust anyone who says they know it all.... always learning

 

[Marc]

The day you stop learning is the day to jack it all in.

Who said that originally, or something similar as I have a saying I use..

"The more I know, the more I realise what I don't know...."

obviously same lines just warped slightly; for some reason I have an inkling it was Einstein.. :shrug:

 

[sparklies]

The "me" of two years ago would be stunned by the photos I'm producing now, but I look at them and all I see are faults and how much further I need to go to improve. I've heard others 50 years down the line have the same problem!!
