#161 WHAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER? THE SEQUEL
With help from the mailbag, today; what makes you a better photographer? It seems that it's a mix of fun, deliberate practise, varying how you work, research and learning to embrace being uncomfortable as you move your existing genre skills into another perhaps. Today is a shorter snapshot episode and we're thankful to Mike Miller whose photo essay on this subject inspired the episode.
A last thank you of the week before the Photowalk edition to one of our patrons, Vanessa Simpson who has been working on a legacy portrait project/product that is exceptionally special and close to my heart. When or perhaps as you listen to today’s episode, be sure to visit Vanessa’s site. Members of the channel’s Patreon will have access to the whole edition script today including the entirety of Mike Miller’s photo essay.
Today's show is kindly supported by MPB.com, the place to go if you want to buy, sell and trade quality used camera kit on line. So you're thinking; "Alright Neale, how do I go about selling and trading?" It works like this. You go online at mpb.com. Click the 'sell or trade' menu link in the top left, then just start adding your gear. The site recognises what you're selling and it asks you to grade it; like new, excellent, good, well used, that kind of thing. When you've added your gear you'll get an instant quote. Now the trading part, because this is clever. Underneath your sale items you see a buying section. This is where you add in what you'd like to trade your gear for. Again you can choose a graded condition or if you've already browsed the site and have some reference numbers, you can enter those. You'll either be paying the difference or it may be that MPB are paying you.
