<P>which do you fall under</P>

[Gaelen]

well i guess that is whether you call amateur p&s amateur or SLR amateur....to me thats a big difference

[J.Scott]

I am guessing you meant to spell 'amateur' not amature.

Right letters - wrong order.

Maybe you should have a category - "Wouldn't know a bus stop from and 'f' stop."

I would say I am an ambitious amateur.

[Christian]

I'm a lazy amateur. I could be great if I took more photos ;-)

[m8o]

being humble, I went with amateur vs. advanced amateur ... I didn't think my being a 'enthusiastic amateur' necessarily translated to me being 'advanced'. (plus, I don't own a Prime lens [ahem, yet] ... can one be 'advanced' w/o a Prime?)

[Hyena]

Advanced amateur, in terms of technical knowledge. Plain old amateur in terms of experience and skill. Went with Advanced Amateur, giving myself the benefit of the doubt

[Mike Bokeh]

Advanced amateur would describe me accurately.

I'd like to add that I don't think I'll ever stop learning.

Almost 30 years with film, now digital opens up new fields of opportunity.

One of the things I like most about digital, is that when photographing people, you can show them the results right away; they like that.

Remember 10 or 15 years ago how many 1 hour labs there were?

Digital.

[borno]

definitely advanced--just turned 50

[Jack_Simpson]

advanced amateur....and that is only because I sell these silly things and have to show people where the "shutter button's" are

Jack

[leadbelly]

Definitely amateur...

[roentarre]

amateur only I guess

No, I think he meant "amature". That's an amateur who doesn't know how to behave like a grown up. I've only seen a couple active on the forum, but from the poll results it looks like a large number are lurking. :-)

Huh?

I have the utmost respect for Randy and offered a very friendly suggestion to correct his spelling? I meant no harm or offense to Randy. If I have offended him I apologize profusely.

BTW - Did you call me immature? Why are you saying that his poll suggests that a large number of immature respondents are lurking? That makes no sense.

Don't be mincing your words - we can take it.

[Alvin]

Definitely an amateur because I'm still primarily a snapshooter.

[Adam]

Take it easy, guys- this thread doesn't belong here, anyway, so I'l be moving it to "Everything Else."

If you want me to fix up the poll or add some options, let me know.
