[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 8648, member: 16"] Rob, I also agree with everything you are saying. You're going to get people like that in any activity they participate in. You know the ones......I have a better car, I have a more expensive tennis racket, I have this, I have that, blah blah blah. There will always be those that equate expense with their so called "skill" level. Well, we all know that this just isn't the case, don't we. Like Ken Hamlett says.....one that works. Above all, it's the skill of the photographer that tells the tale in the end. Example: You have a D7000, I have a D200. Bill has a D300. Who's to say who takes the better shots? I'm my own worst critic. I always think others take far better shots than I do. Do I blame the camera? No, of course not! I blame myself....my ability, my skill. And I've been shooting for some 40 years! I know of people with far less experience than I that blow me out of the water! So don't get hung up on what other people use for equipment. Ignore them. Just concentrate on YOUR skill level and YOUR vision on what you shoot. The results speak for themselves. Always. So endeth my rant. :) [/QUOTE]
