Exactly.

To me, there's a difference between a professional wedding photographer who does minor work to photos, and joe schmuck who just bought a camera, blurs out the edges of every photo, decides that means he has mad talent, calls himself a photographer, and after one week with a camera, starts up a 'business' charging people $75 for 'professional' photos.

Those are the exact people I'm talking about.

Certainly.

Seriously, if you want to jump into weddings and graduations pics, just jump. The trend seems to be moving away from the traditional wedding pics to a more casual approach. The last three I did were, "Just take fun shots".

Gravy. I charged them $500.00, did some editing, and made a web gallery in Photoshop.

My contribution to stinging insect photos...



And I love floral/scenery photos!



I'm not a pro by any stretch, but I got somewhat of an eye from my dad and I occasionally get a few good ones.

I started taking photos with Olympus OM-1 years ago and never retouch my photos. I think I'm more of a purist and would rather capture things how they are instead of tweaking a shot to make it better.

Besides I SUCK at Photoshop.

Now why would anyone buy a DSLR when you can shoot great photos with a cell phone?
