I think often it's also the fact that photographers have more of an eye for a certain situation. Many of the photos above are a good example of choosing your framing wisely.

Thank you for saying that! I think that meny wanna be photographers might lost their interest in photohgraphy after seeing photos compared like that. No one was born having knowelage how to take and edit photos, it is hard work to find your own style too! And btw, your photos are great!

You have cool pictures, keep going!

Wow! you are a great inspiration! I have done a bit in photography with my phone but not as cool as yours.. Great job! https://www.facebook.com/xenonphotographyofficial/

Someone misses the point completely ... it's not about the gear, it's about the eye .... the photographer shots here are not just more professional looking at first glance, they tightened in on what seem to be scrappy, non interesting scenes, and transform them. They could have been shot in luxury parks, you'd not know. A photographer will get a great shot no matter the equipment, your acerage Joe will still end up with a mess with pro-gear.

nice pictures :) <3 mood photos are one of my favourite... you are working with light with shadows... perspective :) high potential ... great man good luck in a future

Haha you got me with your comment. I agree though. I like the photos you take. Check out my page https://www.facebook.com/pacephotographs

But isn't this the whole point of this article? If someone wants good photos, they pay for photographer's way of seeing things, be it SOOC or edited. A lot of people think if they buy a good camera, they'll automatically get good results. It just isn't so. Sure, some people can see good results, which is great and means they have a good eye. But imo that's the minority of them.

Oh sorry, I don't know why my reply was posted so often...
