[QUOTE="DaveW, post: 119319, member: 7183"] Guess what I have been doing for the last couple of months? Running photo's through Lightroom and trying to fix things which a local pro photographer who uses the most expensive equipment has managed to mess up! This "photographer" who is making a very good living, has even managed to mess up 2 weddings lately by being unprofessional and in my opinion as unprofessional as you can get. After taking all the wedding photo's, and returning to his house, he never backed anything up, had a robbery 2 days later, and lost everything. That to me is no excuse because I as a non professional always put my stuff straight onto a computer, a separate hard drive, and it automatically uploads everything to online storage. That aside, I am being asked to see what I can do with existing files from previous weddings, parties, etc, where this person has not done a very good job. My point being that while there are super photographers out there who do a first class job in everything they are paid for, some of them do not use the latest top of the range equipment, while other rated and highly paid people who are not as good use money no object equipment. I would never have said this 6 months ago and indeed never have thought it either. The old argument that a new inexperienced photographer with "lesser" equipment cannot be compedant is fast becoming an untrue statement. [/QUOTE]
