Posted: September 19, 2017
It can be frustrating for photographers to hear how their camera takes great pictures. Contrary to popular belief, the best pictures don't always happen thanks to fancy and expensive gear. The photographer must also have skills to make those great shots happen. These are five non-gear related ways that photographers can use to improve their work and take the best photos possible.

I have lost track of the number of times I have heard complete strangers compliment me on having a great fancy camera that takes “great pictures”. Initially, I used to be quick to the defense and try and get a word in on how I am a professional photographer and hence have some level of skill in my craft. But now I just nod, smile and quickly move away. Unfortunately, the reality is that a lot of photographers (and others) think that by having the latest and greatest fancy camera, they have the ability to take better photos.
