What kind of camera do you have? It takes great pictures!" question/comment with a picture. It was an absolutely gorgeous picture, perfect lighting, perfect setting, perfect framing...everything. It was taken with a little point and shoot digital camera with minimal settings that could be modified. Now, she *also* has a higher end digital SLR, but her point was that while the camera can improve things a bit, the quality of a photograph is more about the eye behind the lens than about the quality of the camera. <br /><br />This has definitely shown true with my husband and I. While I think I do get some really great pictures *sometimes*, any time he and I go out and take photos of the same subjects, he always comes back with a higher number of good/useable ones (and with fewer taken). We use the same type of camera too.42PurpleElephantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762435713619370120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957832663013211498.post-85229778316920887762010-01-14T09:54:24.405-08:002010-01-14T09:54:24.405-08:00I love this!

It was so much fun to read...Sometimes it would be fun to tell them what you really think.<br />Someone wrote that an artist work is never appreciated until after they are gone. <br />That is so true! It applies not only to the work of the painter, but the photographer, the designer, and the creator of art in any form.<br />It is so ridiculous to assume if you put a camera in anyone’s that they can take photos that will sell.<br />Even spending hundreds of hours to get a shot doesn’t make them saleable. It’s the artist behind that camera that feels the right time, right mood, right light, right angle…<br />Art is not about numbers, like the number of cameras, lenses, tripods or hours (those help the artist), but you either have the talent or you don’t. Art is, and will always be about feeling….You have to use the right side of your brain to feel … You simply can’t think your way to a wonderful painting or photo.<br />Robyn, Your work shows that you have the talent, the feeling not just an expensive camera.giggles'N' rainbowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942480150649507871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957832663013211498.post-53942480924461011792010-01-14T08:17:54.354-08:002010-01-14T08:17:54.354-08:00Great collaberative post Robyn.
