Dont forget that pro photographers can only do whats economically feasable, some advanced amateurs have no such limitations. They can reshoot somethiing a dozen times if desired to get it absolutely perfect. A pro usually can't. He has to use all his skill and knowledge to get something as good as possible in the time alotted, and be acceptable to client, but in some cases an amateur can take it to another level because there are no monetary or time limitations involved.

Pentax and Professional Photography I am not a professional photographer, and I am not a professional choral singer (I am an enthusiastic amateur at both). I =am= a professional physician. Professional photographers and professional choral singers make the best of whatever situation they encounter. Crappy light, bickering families at a wedding, a lousy choir they're helping out as a "ringer"--they put it aside and turn in a good performance. Similarly, I encounter occasional families I don't like, and =lots= of situations I don't like, but I put my feelings aside and do the best I can. +That+ is what being a professional is about. It is not just a question +That+ of doing what you're paid for; it's a question of turning in your +That+ best even when everything sucks.
