I'm sure we've all heard this a few times at least...and I'm wondering about the verious ways we respond to those well-meaning comments. Often our 'inner voice' is saying, "Hey, I took that photo, I selected the lighting, composition, timing, exposure, etc...the camera was just the tool I used...!" Our better angels usually come to the rescue with some version of, "Thank you, very much", but I'd like to hear the reactions or responses from others.

Who hasn't heard the snappy come-back that goes something like..."Shakespeare wrote some great plays, he must have had a very good typewriter..!"

I would say, Yeah, why do you think I bought it?

I say thank you and sometimes add, "I can make good images with any camera."

"I've been using it for 20 years. When
I first got it, the pictures were awful."

I just smile and say "thank you." They mean well and are not even aware of what they are implying and really have no need to be corrected in any way.

Like, I shouldn't volunteer to show how great the camera is for colonoscopies?


I think it's kinda difficult for a dslr to explore the colon, But I have been ,on occasion told that's where my head is.

I photograph Wildlife and if someone says that I respond "it's because I have great subjects"!
