[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 440576, member: 15356"] Though learning photography isn't easy for me, I believe it us easier now than if I had done so with a film slr! Yes there is more people taking photos these days, but who knows how many actually know how to do anything except auto? I ran into a nurse lately that saw my DSLRs and mentioned how she was going to buy herself one, just to take photos faster! She had no clue of how to take her own photos and was intending to treat it like a point and shoot! Then I explained what a DSLR is and that auto doesn't always turn out photos as good as a point and shoot, and that she would need to learn photography and post processing to make the most use out of a dslr! She was changing her mind before my eyes and when the prices was mentioned she bailed on the idea of buying a DSLR as if it was a desease she was thinking about! Lol :) So is photography more popular now? Sure it is! But is the amount of people learning how to do it themselves up? Maybe, but I don't think it is as much as people might think! I think most people who take photos sticks to using point and shoots or phone cameras!:) People like us are a little crazy, with how much we put into photography,nearly all our free time,nearly every dime we can scrape up, and the amount of work put into the whole process! If we didn't love it none of us would do what we do for our photography! But a point and shoot just takes the jpg to the local drug store or mall and has what photos they want printed printed, while the rest get stuck into their digital photo books or computers until they are replaced with another set of snaps! Easy, cheap, and skill though handy is not required! Sorry for the long winded post! Lol :) [/QUOTE]
