I think you need to invest a lot of time in learning photography as a skill first. THEN maybe look at it as a business. This question clearly shows you have quite a bit to learn yet.

Well if you're not satisfied on camera that's not a bad price for clay pigeons :-)

The period key must be missing from your keyboard.
Until you get a new one, use the decimal symbol you used in the price for the filters you bought from e-bay. It works the same way as the period.
Damn!
BTW, Welcome!
I hope I can read your next post.

Gee, are the filters the right size for your lens?
Other then that, I'll go along with MT Shooter

Stretch, welcome to the Ugly Hedgehog. I hope you will find this forum useful.
I don't mean to sound critical, but it appears that you have done a great deal of texting. The jargon of texting is very difficult for some to understand, especially for members in non-English-speaking countries. You are obviously an intelligent person. Perhaps we could be more helpful if you were to utilize upper case letters (when appropriate), complete words, sentences and punctuation. Too many of us are too old to be able to follow text-like messages. Thank you for your cooperation.

I think all of us would love for photography to be our business-however I totally agree with MT Shooter in that you have to learn photography first. This is a great place to do get lots of good advise. I have learned so much here reading all the posts daily and yes someday when I am good enough I would like photography to be my business too. I am going to take some courses and in the meantime I will practice every chance I get and enjoy learning to do what I love better, until finally someday I am good enough to charge people. One thing I have learned since I got my T3I in a package with all sorts of cheap filters is that you need to stick with good filters even if you are using the kit lenses. I now use B & H or Hoya, and I believe I see a difference. Hang in there.

Try to find comprehensive reviews. Price doesn't always equate with quality.

i was wondering what happened to the period key myself. perhaps before you learn filters, and photography you might want to go back to english grammar and relearn grammar 101.
