There is one thing that some people think and that is that the more expensive the camera the better the photos that person takes and this is not the case since the camera is only a tool that, like every other tool, needs to be used correctly to achieve the desired results. I must agree that the better the tool the better the result and taking photos with a camera phone, for example, is not something you would compare with those photos taken with a Nikon D3.
There is one phrase that I’ve heard and and probably have mentioned it here a couple of times and that is that the camera doesn’t make the photographer. Given the right usage of the tool you can actually achieve great photos or snapshots and many professional photographers as well as hobbyist and enthusiasts have shown this to be true in numerous blogs and contests that have been carried out.
One of these photographers is Jeff Ascough where he takes a Sony Ericsson K800i and goes out to take some photos then takes them into the Digital Darkroom and touches them up to make them look better, you can see them on his post Camera Phones.
I’ve agreed with this phrase and these photographers since most of my great shots have been taken with my point-and-shoot camera.
