I'm only formally trained in Graphic design and fashion design. But they teach your compostion, golden rules, colour and related stuff regardless of which art you get into.
Around here you can get a 3 year diploma at a technikon in photography or can get registered with the "Professional Photographers Association of South Africa" if you have a mentor who is registered and elects to tutor you privately. Unfortunately all my "wise friends" use nikon or minolta and they keep reminding me of how I'll never turn pro with what I got :( But then again I also wrote 2 modules for MCSE before I changed my mind and I still know more than most of the youngsters coming up now. IMHO experience is the only thing that will get you ahead Feroze ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Dobo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PDML (Pentax)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 10:13 AM Subject: Photographic Training > Hey folks, > > I'm quite curious here.
