You must have a good camera

[Shelley]

When people see my shots, I often get the comment, "You must have a good camera".

Well this shot is from my camera, what do you think?

My husband took it. I was going for a break and I always ask him to hold my gear. I always find shots like this when I go to process my photos later after birding. Oh, by the way, that is my lucky shirt when birding.

Just needs a levels adjustment and a bit of sharpening and it will be a cracker of a shot

Tell them that you got your camera from the same shop that Picasso got his paints from

Great comment Mark!

[cadman]

I will second that Greg. You still have to have the skills and the eye.

Very lomographic. It is all the rage, don't you know!

Always good to see the face behind the name!!!!!

Wasn't there a video doing the rounds where Adobe had some future program that would make that shot tack sharp? Then you wouldn't need such a good camera Shelley haha

[zollo]

nah I dont believe it. that has been "photoshopped"

What annoys me more is, when some people see my camera and lenses, is, "Gees, that must take good photos!"

Is this the first time you've posted one of these shots? I'm curious as to why you chose this particular shot to post?



Cheers.

Yep, same here and my standard reply is "yep, pity I don't though" - the sad bit is its true haha

I left my camera with a bunch of other enthusiasts while I went to the loo and came back to find photos of the butt of another one of the people from the trip, and several other images that had to be deleted pretty quickly.
Not sure I'll be following your lead and putting them up here though.

As for the camera taking the photos, I was showing some photos from that same trip (admittedly only the good ones) to a work colleague, and she said, "Wow, your camera takes great photos" - yeah, it's not like I had much to do with it (actually probably too much truth in that, but Shhhh... don't tell her that) but I had to forgive her, she's a Nikon user, so probably isn't used to good photos

the one thing more annoying than "you photo shopped that didn't you?

[Dylan & Marianne]

shelley - OMG that's an overprocessed shot lol
You should find out what the person's profession is who made the comment and make a similar comment in return
(eg. author - you must have a great pen!, doctor - you must have a great stethoscope!)

[Kym]

Nice bokeh! But a tad soft
It might do well an an abstract comp if you PP it to death.

Also it might be the camera, so buy a next time !!

Well this shot is from my camera, what do you think?

ARE YOU TEASING US SHELLEY?

You must have the crappiest camera on the planet. Is it a Nikon?

People see me with my 300/2.8.

"How much zoom has that got?"

"None."

[maccaroneski]

Even more annoying is "If I had a camera as good as yours I reckon I could take good shots too".

Here! Go for it!
