Thou shalt not Canon

These three photographs do not exist. I created them. I used the camera's image layering to combine two photographs into one. The moon was inserted into all three. Trickery to elicit a WOW!
It serves to illustrate my frustration. I covet. I covet other photographers work. Their equipment. In this case, a particular photographer on the panhandle who shoots with the venerable pro camera, the Canon 1Dx with the equally venerable pro lenses.
The other day a friend asked what camera do I use? I was almost ashamed to tell, as on their counter rested the Nikon D7000 with the 18-200 lens. Oh, the D3100 I said, and rambled off a series of apologies. They looked at me kind of half crooked I perceived. Oh.... entry level amateur camera.
I did not tell them that I do not even use that 90% of the time, but mostly the even lower Canon S100 point and shoot.
Oh, I know, its not the camera. But darn it, I find myself telling myself every time I see one of these masterful photographs....sure, sure...if I had that Canon or that Full Frame Nikon, I too would be cranking out daily works of art....
But I do not think so.
Some people are just born to be on the cover of National Geographic at age ten. Others, like me, will always be on the bottom of Parakeet Monthly. God is not particularly interested in photography so he has no problem toying with us, giving top of the line Canon's to jerks and clerics equally....
Like the talents...some hide them in closets, others turn them into 30x40 fully wrapped canvas gallery prints.
What am I doing with my little Canon S110 talent? The best I can dag nabbit!!!!!
