You're too kind gents.
The Kellogs Variety Pack box is mild genius though I have to confess. I should be doing an evening course starting at the end of the month that will see me with a City and Guilds qualification at the end of 12 months which will be a start. It's long way to go though as my kit while OK for a beginner won't cut the mustard in the pro world. My whole set up cost in the region of £1K, most pros carry around a minimum of £5K's worth of kit. In some instances (like sports toggers) they carry nearer £20K's worth!!!!!!
You know at football matches you see lots of cameras with these on:
That'll set you back a cool £5,444 and most sports toggers have a couple. Not to mention that the camera body they use costs a meager £4,650.
