My pet peeve is how some people buy a Nikon D80/Canon 400D and instantly think they'll be a great photographer, just click and shoot, without realising their photos are just rubbish, fucking rubbish mate, the equipment mean bollocks, Canon EOS 1D, Leica M8, it's doesn't matter, a professional/self taught photographer know that to take a great shot, you have to figure out the natural light position and brightness, waiting for the perfect light to shine on a subject, choosing the right frame, the right colour etc. to make a great shot. (and of course, being a naturally good photographer, by simply pointing and shooting randomly, but that's can be a gamble).
