Great post – just don’t give too many of the secrets away. When I took a camera class recently this entire thought process ran through my head.. and it made me feel happy and proud of my art and design degree, mainly to know that just since everyone is running around with a digital SLR it doesn’t mean we’ll be getting pushed to the side anytime soon. I am proud of my eye, my sense of color, composition and my aesthetics – that comes easily! Now, if I could just figure out all the tech stuff with the tools we use.. that is the hard part for me!

I am SOOO loving this. Thank you soo much for posting this. I don’t think people understand and value what all we do sometimes. I have been studying photography for over 10 years now and JUST opened my business in late 2010. It took me years to even feel like I was at a place where I could justify opening a business and charging people. My busines is still very slow and it’s frustrating, but then I realize that people sometimes don’t value what professionals have to offer. It’s sad really because we put so much time and effort into our work and create such masterpieces!!

I share this on my facebook walls as this is sooo incredibly illustrated, thank you again!

Awesome – the only thing that would make it better would be if you let your brother edit his pics with picnik and then compared those to your edits as well LOL

This is great! The most jaw dropping comment I ever received was this:

Woman: I hear that you take really nice pictures.

Me: Oh? Thank you!

Woman: Well, I mean, it isn’t rocket science is it? You just hold the camera and push the button.

Ha! Talk about a double sided compliment, and way off the mark! I laughed, even though I was in shock, because she obviously hasn’t a clue. I’m still a novice (1 1/2 years) and growing more every day, and I do study, study, study….and shoot, shoot, shoot. I see so many people with good cameras who just use them as very expensive point and shoot cameras. That I don’t get.

[...] “Your Camera Takes Really Nice Pictures” [Delaware Wedding andErin- thank you SO much for eloquently putting this into words. I hope people learn from your post! … Fabulous post Erin! As a non-pro I always knew it wasnt just the camera but I think no one ever realizes the amount of work that actually goes into photography, between setting the pictures up just right and editing them.
