[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 406699, member: 12257"] So if I capture something anyone can stop and shoot, I'm not a photographer? (stirring the pot, no offense taken or given with this comment) This is more along the lines of the way I think. To tie them both together a bit, I feel like a "good" photographer can capture a moment, any moment, in such a way as to point out what others may have missed (i.e. beauty/details/circumstances others may have missed or regularly overlook), so perhaps that's a bit of your "things others may never be able to capture." Then, I think the "passion" to catch these moments at any given moment is what might push the good to GREAT, eventually, as that passion will lead to more learning, more searching, more seeing... more shooting.
