Hi Elsie. I think both are important but a good photographer can take great photos with a simple camera.

And an unskilled photographer can sometimes take a great photo with a great camera. Luck may play a part.

It is important to have a good camera if only to encourage the student with occasional photos that motivate him or her to continue.

Your photos are spectacular!

I’d be curious to know which you think is more important to the outcome of a photo–the camera or the photographer? I currently use what is sometimes referred to as a “prosumer” digital, an Olympus Camedia C-5060 WideZoom. I like the photos I get, but I’m sure they could be more detailed, and the exposure could be a lot better (in particular, I get blown out skies a lot and occasional purple fringing). I’ve pondered upgrading to a true DSLR, but I’m not sure if I’d need to improve as a photographer to really get anything out of it.

Anyway, keep up the good work! These photos are beautiful.

If you used your Flickr links for the photos in your blog then people could follow back through to them to leave you comments. Also, I think the additional linking of things to and fro improves your stats and chances of being higher in google.

Personally, I agree with what you say - I definately look harder for beauty and things to take photos of these days and I stop to really look at things.

In the same way you didn’t want to ‘get out’ before…that was probably detrimental to your health. I am sure the addition of extra exercise and fresh air that us photographers do gives us added health benefits.

Wonderful post and image David, I don’t think I could describe it any better, being able to take a mundane subject or scene and turning it into something beautiful is a great joy. As is being able to convey a beautiful scene to someone who wasn’t able to view it in person, and to be able to put your own artistic tweek to it as well. That is what I love about photography.

Your photography has definitely grown since I have known you David, your work is really well composed and executed and you are establishing your self as a photographer as well as a writer.

Take care.
