I just updated How to Become a Professional Photographer, and uncovered some new statistics:

In 2010, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics documents that the median pay for photographers is $29,130 per year, or $14 per hour. "Median" pay means that half of photographers make less than this. You'd make the same as a bus driver, day laborer, security guard or a local delivery route driver — and each of those jobs has ten times as many jobs available as there are for photographers.

To make more money, you're far better off as a personal trainer, bug sprayer, massage therapist or secretary, and there are forty times as many secretary jobs as there are for photographers!

Get a real job like a cop or fireman and make twice as much - and there are also ten times as many of those jobs. Try being a farmer, who also makes twice as much as a photographer, and there are ten times as many farmer jobs as photographer jobs. Most other real jobs, like electricians, do much better than photographers.

Honestly, its difficult to find a lower paying job than being a photographer, and since there are so few photographer jobs, good luck!

Why try to become a photographer for low pay when there are so few jobs, when there are twenty times as many jobs as a top level executive — and they pay over $101, 000 per year! Honestly, you're twenty times as likely to become a CEO, CFO or Senior Vice President as you are to find a photographer job, so get real and enjoy photography as a hobby.



Why Jobs in Photography Pay Poorly

Photography is Not a Profession. Anyone can call themselves a professional photographer. There are no licenses and not even a college degree — or even high school — required. Therefore, you're competing against everyone else with a camera who'll do the job for free just to get the publicity.

Digital killed pro photography. When everyone can do it themselves or get the neighbor's kid to do it for free, forget trying to charge for it unless you are both extraordinarily talented and a top-drawer sales and marketing guy

The FT1 adapter is only if I intend to mount Nikkor-F lenses right? Erm, the current and only lens I have now is the '1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6', is it a Nikkor-F lens(cause there's the f/3.5-5.6) ?
Say if were to get another set of lens, 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8, for close-up shots of little figurines.. would i need the use of the FT1 adapter? Or the lens by itself could be attached to the J1?

To be honest, i pretty much just hold the shutter-button and "chik chak" - photo. I have near zero(ok, maybe it is zero) idea about lenses and kit. But i'm willing to learn now..please don't judge me ><"

Hey guys, just ordered a D600 which is going to arrive next month. Gonna need a lens with that lol.
I'm looking for a fast tele prime with good AF speed.

Which one will guys recommend ?

Thanks !
