Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on how to move forward with photography. I don't know about other people, but I keep taking lots of photos and end up doing nothing with them. Ugh! This was a great video. Now it's 2 yrs later... Anymore tips for your fans?

Cheers!

@CumulusSkies one big tip, is go to my new channel dombowerphoto as there is where all the new tips have been going for the last year.

Hi Dom,

Man you are an inspiration and you have a great way of getting the point across. Thanks for your generosity in sharing tips and techniques with us lesser photographers. One question; is it possible for me to send you some of my recent images for a quick critique? I'll understand if you are way too busy.

Thanks again for the great tutorials...I've learned a lot already.

Love your Videos Dom. Inspirational! Your Poo comment made me smile. I have a question - im setting up a wesbite to showcase my photos - what do you think is important on a photo website these days - buying options? Social media ? Any tips would be great. Good tip about pro bono work - im getting my friends involved as models as portraits are the category i lack currently. Oh ok final thing - whats the best tripod for travel? It has to hold a D700 and max 300mm lens :/

Thanks
