As a newbie amateur photographer, I find that I rely a lot on the auto setting, yet I realize that at times the setting does not capture what my eye sees. I even can go beyond that to say the auto setting does not capture what I intended to capture. Playing around with exposures and focal lengths are exciting new opportunities for me - your post reaffirmed that for me. Thanks! -Joe (@rikerjoe) Enjoyed your post.

As for the mantra, well some dude <a href=http://pixelatedimage.com/blog rel="nofollow">here<a/> already took it! ;) David: It’s funny you mention the “jerk” issue: I thought long and hard on how to phrase my intro to the post in the hope that I wouldn’t come across as arrogant…I hope it didn’t sound too bad :) .

The worse thing is there's no way to reply to this without looking like a smart-ass or a jerk. Of course, we could all do ourselves a favour within the industry and stop perpetuating this nonsense ourselves. Sometimes I think we're our own worst enemy. Remember the mantra - Gear is Good, Vision is Better. :-) I bought my camera at the same place Picasso got his brushes.

It must take great photos!" Well, I'd probably make about as much money as being a photographer :) The truth is great images are made by the people behind the viewfinder and all the gear in the world isn't going to change that. But gear shopping is like shoe shopping... it can never hurt to look right? :) If I had a dollar for every time I heard “Wow, your camera looks expensive… It must take great photos!” Well, I’d probably make about as much money as being a photographer :) The truth is great images are made by the people behind the viewfinder and all the gear in the world isn’t going to change that.
