Is photography all about talent? Or all about equipment?

Good camera's give good photos

Before the photographers start reacting, let me tell you that I personally still believe photography needs a lot of talent into it. But one thing I can say is the camera’s today are just getting better that makes photography easier not only for professional photographers, but for common people as well. I am no professional photographer, and I am in no authority to really speak about professional photography, but one thing I can say is that with digital photography of today, this already changes a lot of things. No more film developing, and no more film that cost money goes to waste. With memory cards that can go as high as 2.0GB or even more, you can take thousands of photos, that you can simply do a trial and error shot, shoot as many photos you want of a single subject not worrying of film wasted. If you do not like the photo, simply delete it. If ever you want to do film developing magic tricks in digital photography, there are many photo editing softwares to choose from including the very popular Adobe Photoshop. And with the very high resolutions generated from 6 megapixels or higher, zooming in by software, cropping and rotating will still give you relatively good looking photos.

How to choose camera lensBut sure, amateurs like me may still not know a lot about photography, from lighting, angles of shots, focus on subjects and what filters to use, but once you have all the proper equipment, without the worry of spending too much money on film and given enough time to spend, you can do a trial and error and just shoot and shoot and experiment what photos come out best.
