[QUOTE="aroy, post: 293557, member: 16090"] Well that makes me a pro too. For ten years I sold pictures taken with my Cell Phone! (Well not the images per say, but voluminous site and status reports with the images). I have taken more than 100,000 images for my reports. As the saying goes, the camera is but a tool.
