[QUOTE="aced19, post: 300513, member: 9734"] Even after I thought I learned how to take good pictures. I still always told myself, If I only had a better camera. I can remember being at a basketball game a few years back, talking to a professional photographer who had a D3s taking pictures. I made the comment to him "Boy if I had that camera, I would take great pictures". He laughed and said gimme your camera I want to show you something. I had a D90 with a 85 1.8 on it. He made some adjustments then snapped a photo of the floor then shot 20 or so pics then snapped the floor again. He said when you get home look at the pics between the floor snaps. Here is my card, call me and tell what you see. To my surprise his pictures he took(using my camera)blew me away. From that point on I stopped saying "Only if I had" He taught me a lesson, that it's not the camera. A few days later I called him and thanked him for the lesson. He said sometimes the better camera will win. But most of the time its you. Not the camera. With that said my pictures have improved tremendously. But I know I still have a lot to learn. [/QUOTE]
