The Photography Thread

As a photographer, this is one of the most annoying things to hear.
It isn't the camera, there are so many factors that go into getting good photos.
It's like saying, "I wish I had Picasso's brushes so I could paint good pictures."
Very true. I have taken some semi decent pictures with a point and shoot that turned out better than I have seen with crazy DSLR setups=P

I have a very entry-level DSLR that I've used to take some awesome pictures. Some of my friends have dropped over $2000 into a camera body yet still have mediocre results.
Hell, there are even people that dedicate their Instagram to photos taken with their iPhones, which actually turn out better than some "photographers" I've seen.

I think he means that as far as the quality of the picture goes.
I do know what you're saying though. Its like complimenting a chef on a meal, saying he must have an expensive grill.
Edit: Nevermind, he already chimed in.

yeah but you can't say that having nice equipment can't make a bad photographer (or chef) better. pictures tend to look better with 1bajillion pixels. food tends to not overcook if your grill's infrared sensor tells you the grill is too hot.
for instance, that moon shot would have look like absolute crap if someone handed you a crappy P&S, no matter how good you are.
but yeah, pro's take great shots with any camera you hand them.

Ignore my nasty roundel

Just to prove my point. This was taken with an iPhone 4. If you have something that can snap a picture, you can take good pictures.

I know this is mostly picture-based stuff, but I put together a DIY home-made slider for under $30 and quickly tested it out before it started pouring.
