I've bee with NoBS since the beginning. When the site went to paid only membership, I nearly didn't join up. At the time, I was an advanced ameteur, but not earning any money from my hobby. To spend money on something like this took a lot of thinking.

To cut a long story short, thanks to all the folks here on NoBS, I have a successful photographic career in portraiture and weddings. I'm still in the early stages, but learning loads all the time.

The knowledge and confidence that this site will give you is more than worth the cost of admission. (And if you don't like it, you can just ask for your money back. )
