I put amateur, but this really varies on a day to day basis! The other day, I would say I was a professional, shooting pictures with the best of them. The day before that, I was worse than a novice, hitting the delete button faster than a gun slinger at the O.K. Coral. Such is life I guess. Randy

Probably an advanced amateur since I've done sports, portrait, events photography, and have extensive knowledge (and hands-on experience) with using strobes.
I also own and am able to use fully-manual cameras. Am not afraid to use film.

I wanted to choose Pro reason are
I am self employed so evey time I am out taking pictures that is costing me money (that is kinda like being paid haha) I am published on serveral computers in my house and the odd friends and of course here on PentaxForums. I have spent more on camera gear in the last 18 months than most of my earlier cars But ... I choose "Amateur"  Struggling to get better every day.

I will go with amateur since I am a bit better then novice (maybe a little) I actually hesitate to call my self photographer even amateur. I know I have a fairly good understanding of some of the technical aspects and I spend as much time as I can doing it try to learn and improve. My wife tells me I am since "any one who spends that much time working on it has to be one"
Oh well

Still an amateur. I started playing with 35mm with a Retina series camera back in the 70's. I nabbed some good ones....and many not so good. Come to think of it, I did the same thing last month, just with a different camera.
 Surely I'm due for promotion one of these days? Then again, as I sift thru last weeks shots.....I'd have to say not anytime soon. Oh well, practice practice practice.Mark |

While using a P&S I think I am an amateur, upgrading to K200d for 2 months realizing I am far from tapping the camera’s potential so I am a novice now.
The good thing about this is since novice is the lowest level, any changes can only be an improvement  |

Amateur, but if you work for the IRS, I'm professional.
