What kind of photography do you want to concentrate on?

Will you be wanting to learn post production techniques (Photoshop)?

I think possibly this is a 'careful as you go' area. I haven't done any courses whatsoever, completely self taught and after 6 months I am happy so far with my progress, though still got lots to learn.

On the flip side, my friends wife spent £1000's on a course and I find a lot of her pics doesn't show or justify the amount of money she spent.

Courses to me are just a way of showing perspective clients a qualification note. I think I would like to carry on learning myself and let the finished photograph be my qualification note.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
