No offence Phillip, but judging by your equipment I think that you will have a very hard time making a living doing this. Two mega-pixels are not nearly high enough resolution for anything higher than a 2″x3″ print [SNIP]
I didn’t buy the 2m camera. It was just an idea. Then (circa 2000/2001) 3 million pixels was the norm. Now 6m to 8m pixels are the norm. The problem is that there are hundreds of good photographers with good DSLRs out there. The internet is also a good tool, which makes the business of providing good images very competitive.
I’ve played with the idea of becoming an aviation photographer for maybe six years now. I would imagine that the business in 10% photography, 10% Logistics (making sure you get to the right locations at the right time and getting the images to where they are needed FAST) and 80% selling yourself (Marketing).
I meet John Dibbs. Brilliant photographer and it would be pure fantasy to think I could produce work at the same level. I personally think that it’s not the photograph but the marketing which will make or break a photographer.
