Paintball Photography

[Statch83]

speaking of photography,
i'm doing photography at college this year and was wondering if anybody else has taken it at a level, could someone tell me what the courses are like?
iv'e always enjoyed taking photo's and wanted to take it further any help.

We also pay out a fair bit of money to provide you guys with a service. Then people just half inch them off your site and never make a payment.

We don't make as much as you think!

Lets break down the price it cost us to attend an event

Average fuel cost for car £40
Average Fuel cost for generator £8
Food £priceless
Wear and tear on equipment £0-400 depending on damage to equipment
Time start at 4am finish 10pm at minimum wage (call it £5 per hour) £90
Time designing site at £5 per hour £25

and the list goes on but at that rate so far 1 day has cost the photographer excluding the wear and tear £163. And if we sell 10 prints at £2.50 before costs on ink etc we have made £25.00 leaving us down by £138.

Still want to make easy extra money

I'd not imagine you would do it if it cost you each time Dan
Still, I agree that it's not just easy money that anyone with a point and click can earn. People always think photography is easy...

ah but what i'm getting at is that if it was not for my wedding photography and other types of photography I would not be able to support the players in the sport i love.

Excluding time then driving, designing websites etc. :
