And do think I care that the photo I liked was taken with a point and shoot rather than your 7d?  Does that make my complement\critique less credible to you somehow?  Do you think that just because it was taken with a crapier camera, that it makes it crap?  lol

The very best photo I have taken in the past 3 months was taken with my cell phone.  Yes, I wish I would have been more prepared for the moment, and thought “ugh! Why didn’t I bring my camera!?  Light like this happens so rarely, and I know I could have shot this better if only!” but that doesn’t make the photo crap.  Time to step out of your gear box, and realize that the camera, the settings, the situation, and how the photog got the shot, is only important to the photographer.

Yes, we all have to start somewhere, but people that live in the same reality that I do, don’t start by jumping into business and thinking they can do what a pro  tog can do without putting in any time or effort, or shooting for themselves instead of others to learn FIRST
