[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2633077, member: 59677"]A great photographer can take great photos with even borderline equipment. We've see above great photos taken with a smartphone. And in other threads with P&S. They become great mostly through experience and LEARNING the craft. Same as about any skill. Shoot 10 coins, ruthlessly analyze what works and what doesn't, experiment, improve, repeat. Shoot 100 coins. 1000. 10,000... After a while you do get very good. For -most- of us, decent equipment and some modest level of skill allows us to take pretty good photos. We learn from 10 and plateau after 100. Of course, you can take bad photos with any equipment. So I'd posit that the prosumer equipment can compensate for about 30-40% of skill/experience. And for most of us, the professional equipment is a waste.[/QUOTE]
