As they say, if you go to their place for dinner just remember to compliment at the end by saying "that was a great meal - you must have a real good oven!"

One of the Hogs in the past posted "I love my Instamatic", when someone would say that. I guess that wouldn't make sense to anyone under 25 or so. :lol: :lol:

Happened to me a few weeks back. I had taken a picture of a Pelican to a framing shop to be framed. I was going to give it to my wife for a present. It was a picture that I was proud of because I really put some thought into the camera setup, the composition, lighting, etc. When the lady at the frame shop saw it she said essentially the same thing - nice picture, you much have a really good camera.
Well.... bless her hart!

There was a time long ago when I thought a better camera was all I needed to make my photos look "professional". Obviously there's more to it than that - for many types of images, the camera isn't even all that important.
It's funny how things repeat themselves. I play 'Muddy Waters' style amplified blues harp at local blues jams. At one time I believed all I needed was a better rig to sound better. (Amp, Mike, Harps, ect) as if that could take the place of practice.......

I gave a mounted and framed photograph to a co-worker that I took of her husband with 2 of their great grand-kids when they were visiting a few months ago. I do candid portraits of my own grand-kids & have gotten pretty good at it after a lot of trial and error and practice. She loved it and I'm sure she meant no disrespect when she said "that must be a really good camera". Bet I'm not the only one who has been on the recieving end of a 'complement' like this! :) :)
Your post is a common one here. I have seen several over the past year. So what? What is the point of the post? What value does it pose for the rest of us for photography? Just sayin. Come on man, where's the beef? Except the compliment and move on. Making comments like this is just padding your self on the back, sort of like the show and tell posts you see all the time here about, " oh, the brown truck just came", or " oh, my camera came to day but I'm at work and I don't get home until later and I can't seem to be able to work thinking about my camera that came today and it's at home and I'm at work, Oh,what will I do until I get off work?
Please someone put me out of my misery, I must be the only one here that feels this way. If I have have shown any disrespect please shot me and get it over with.
