Same boat, T6I with battery grip. At car meets, where others have newer cameras usually, and i get approached just because people think I’m pro, all because it looks huge. I also enjoy prints. How big do you like printing?

Hobbyist myself. Ive had people come uo to me just because my camera looks big like a pro camera because of the battery grip.

Rarely need to, but mostly when the lens is having trouble or older manual lens. Usually for artistic shots mostly.

Staples printing services. Never had a issue with them. Plus a business account saved me 10%.

18-135 III IS USM. Lives on my camera. It’s also the only good ranged lens I have for less than 200mm’s.

Practice. Practice. Practice. Use it or lose it.

Edit: words

Just edit. Your style will develop without you realizeling it. I guess for the longest time before I got hang of it.

Congrats on that! Thats something to be proud of. Is there somewhere I can see you work?

When I learned i was being considered for official photographer for my local car club, I haven’t felt that level of happiness in a long time. Finally all this work is starting to be worth its price.

Ive print quite often myself. Never calibrated monitor, it’s a 7 year old monitor too. My images come out how they look on screen.

I use staples. Never had a complaint with them. They do up 24x36. Don’t do framing though.

That’s awesome. I’m excited for you. It makes the grind so worth it. Is there a place we can see this photo?
