However, more than once I was told that I must be professional
photographer or that my pictures look professional. This is always met
with a strong denial. However, I oftentimes use: "Oh no, it is my gear
that is so good at making pictures" lame excuse that fascinatingly
works more often than not.
Modern age common culture is built upon progressive disregard of human
factor and hence reliance of gear/automatics/you name it.
This goes hand in hand with my ongoing rant about the UI on cameras,
particularly the K-1, being optimized for someone who wants an $1800
point and shoot. As more people transfer the technical skill set from
the photographer to the camera the quality of the camera becomes more
critical for more people to get decent photos.
I have noticed that it takes far less skill to get decent dance photos
with the K-1 than it did with the K100. And it was darn near impossible
with the K100 and the kit lens.
Are you sure this isn't just the technology having taken somewhat of a
quantum leap of improvement over the past 10 years?
