Impressive photo, you must have a great camera!

9 years 2 weeks ago #433510 by Sean Lamber
I got my first "Impressive photo, you must have a great camera!" said to me today.  I'm flattered and I get it now.  It's not the camera you bozo, it's the photographer!  :rofl:   I didn't say that, but my mind said it.

Don't take it so big, would you rather they said nothing? Accept the compliment and don't become a "camera club" type snob. After all, you DO have a nice camera, no?

Why so serious?

Ha, nice camera! I had that happen to me once with a photo of a homestead here in Ore. The camera I took it with was my Yashica 635 right after I got it! I love the thing but not many people would call it nice! lol

"Because I am an awesome photographer I can afford a better camera than people who take crap photos"

Generally people do mean it as a compliment....In a kind of twisted way.

A compliment is a compliment in my book.

Yep, life is too short to get worked up over trivial stuff like this.  Take the compliment and run with it.

I have always said when people don't realize how something is done, you have done a great job doing it.  Nice complements are hard to come by.  Just smile and say thanks
