Well as I was waiting on my appointment a lady was drawn to my Nikon! Yes the D300 with a Nikkor AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ed d lens on it is one sexy beast! Lol Anyway she was very interested in what photos I took and such. Well I only had two of my photos on my galaxy note 3 phone. My favorite spider shots and as other spider shot I took more recently.
Well she was all sorts of impressed, and insisted that I should show them. You know like a painter having his/her own show of their art type of thing! I tried to explain that I wasn't good enough for that sorta of thing and she just wasn't having it, and stuck to her opinion strongly!
I do admit I enjoyed the major compliment, well for a couple seconds anyway. But it was very short lived as this thought was running through my mind loudly, that she wouldn't be saying this if she saw all the truly great photographers on this forum. Lol
But it did show me that my work could be appreciated by people I've never seen before, and that was a great experience!
