So, over the last year or so, I have stumbled onto discovering that I have a decent eye for photography and that I really enjoy it. For some reason most of my 'eye' is with still life but I enjoy candids and portraits too.

Now, I know that is just a beginning and I really need to be properly taught a great deal more. Not the least because I am only on an entry level DSLR and I know there is a lot more to learn about technique. I really do want to learn it though and see if I am still any good at that level and then perhaps peruse something in that field.

The problem is that I just don't know what direction I should be going in for training. I am 32 years old and if I am going to perhaps do something real with this down the line I can't be dragging my feet too much. If it turns out to be just a really involved hobby I can see myself being okay with that too as long as I was enjoying it.

Has anybody here been through proper photography training and what sort of courses did you take and what qualifications did you end up with? I am not sure which paths I should be taking here.
