I AM CAMERA

PHOTO TIP- Remember, the camera is just a tool. You are the photographer. Whether you're using a DSLR, a point and shoot or even a pinhole camera, the real secret to making great photographs is your skills as a photographer. Years ago, I belonged to a camera club. There was this one member, a quite mediocre photographer, who didn't want to discuss photographic skills. He was, however, obsessed with cameras and equipment. He maintained that if he could only afford a Leica or a Hasselblad, he could be one of the world's greatest photographers. The truth is, if he had concentrated on learning skills as a photographer, he might have gotten somewhere. Instead, he chose to delude himself. Larry Elkins Elkinsphotos
