that's a great point. I'm a good example of that. I stink at taking pics and know nothing about photography where-as my wife is taking the time to learn. Rick gave her some pointers about 6 months ago and she has really advanced and has spent a lot of time on photography forums learning as much as she can. She got a new camera under her design business and is taking some amazing shots...much better than what I can achieve on my little phone BUT...when I use her camera I don't know what I'm doing so the pics come out way worse than what I can do on my phone.
