Flash: You took my post the wrong way. Perhaps my wording was not clear. I am all for helping amateurs, but they have to do a little legwork themselves. For example, you sought out professionals, and I\'m sure you asked specific questions and there was a give and take in that process. You don\'t just say \'I tried a bunch of stuff with my Rebel and it didn\'t go so well at this WEDDING I was shooting...\' I\'m sorry, but that just doesn\'t give people a good impression.
JazzyMac: I don\'t think anybody here is worried about him taking business from us. My point was not that we can\'t handle the \'competition\' (I\'m of the mindset that there\'s room for all of us out there to do our thing). My point is that there is a difference between asking someone to hold your hand and spoon-feed you information and someone who really has the dedication and desire to learn.
I am personally very open with information. The things I mentioned were things that that the OP should google and do some research on. If you don\'t believe that I\'m open to helping those who are willing to help themselves, perhaps you\'d like to read some of the articles I\'ve written:
So yeah, you were right on about me (and others here) being scared to help the new guys because they\'re going to take all our business away. So scared that we are seeding them with the information they need to get started. :rolleyes:
