A good photographer can take a great picture with a so so camera. The reason for this is that they, the real good ones, have developed an eye for what they see. And can transfer that thru the camera lens.
I do however believe that this eye can be learned. As with everything else it takes time and commitment. You learn something with every photo taken, sometimes rolls of the same still shot before you get the right shot. As for the Pulitzer Prize photographers I believe a little luck and timing was involved.
Find the happy medium with equipment and camera that works for you. Enjoy the simpleness in it and the opportunity that crosses your path.
If you have to change lens , add filters , adjust your aperture, set your shutter speed. Well you most likely just missed you shot. Unless of course your doing studio stills.
What great memories were taken with a Polaroid.
And my favorite that every mother put in front of their kids face.
Have fun and make memories . It will reflect in you pictures.
Well great photo is more than just photo quality, that's true, but a great photographer can't get a great sharp photo with a poor camera. This is why professional photographers use professional level equipment.
Moments are passing, but I'm learning to take the advantage of the tools available instead of relying on hope and automatic settings :)
