Ok, first off I have the basic Nikon D40 starter kit. I would like to do some action sports photography (bmx, skateboarding ect) as a hobby and maybe some freelancing in the future. Id like to be a photographer for a magazine company such as Transworld or Dig BMX, but I dont even know where to start besides the park or street taking pictures of locals working on my skills and what not. A photographer talked at my schools career day my senior year and he said that photography schools arent really needed so I dont know how I feel about schooling. I need all the tips and hints possible, what kind of lens should I get and along with other accesories. How do I get my photos out there, Im not looking for pay, I just want to fallow a passion and see where it takes me.
Thanks.
