You make a good point, though could you elaborate on the different ways of capturing a sunset? I think that going full-time will depend on the photographer. I know some friends who treat photography purely as a hobby.I see photographs as another medium of art. This is why I like taking them. That, and they can be a personal reflection of how you see things. There may be 10 different ways to take a sunset, but the way YOU take it speaks volumes to how you see it.
