It's hard to explain to people that the camera is merely a tool. An expensive saw for example, will not make a better table! I also explain that for really good photos it's the lens that matters and not the camera body.Bobkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842625953465490864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-34968367715689815872010-08-04T23:41:20.473-04:002010-08-04T23:41:20.473-04:00Good post!

I love the exercises she's getting us to do to learn what the exposure triangle is all about. LOVE your lightning and moon shots.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450560279375906764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-36071007374789083972010-07-29T16:19:41.714-04:002010-07-29T16:19:41.714-04:00Saying a good picture happens because of the camer...Saying a good picture happens because of the camera is like saying a driver won a race because of the car. Having a fast car helps but you still need to be able to steer, brake when necessary, when it's safe to attemp a pass, and know technical stuff like wind drag. I've seen enough of your pictures to know that you do know what you're doing and you use your knowlege to get the best out of cameral you're using. I wouldn't worry too much about other people's comments. It just goes to show that YOU know your stuff and THEY obviously don't!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338954613127752585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-12327164923951540322010-07-29T14:57:22.134-04:002010-07-29T14:57:22.134-04:00Yup!

It's harder to get good shots - sometimes - with a point & shoot but it's definitely doable! I just watched a video at a website where two photographers set out to prove this. They did a fashion "beauty" shoot with an iPhone. ;-) The results were really good!berrypatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549788623907370094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10605460.post-15832109128607464082010-07-29T10:04:57.354-04:002010-07-29T10:04:57.354-04:00My "good" camera has helped me become a ...My "good" camera has helped me become a better photographer, but not because the camera is so good. It forced me to learn what all those dials, settings and lenses do which in turn opened up a world I had never known about with snapshots.<br /><br />I, too, hate it when some stranger says, "nice camera, I bet it takes great pictures." I usually respond, "no, but the photographer does!"saintseesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674271080347529416noreply@blogger.com
