I did say 'possibly' lol....... ok, my wording with anyone may not have been quite right, but the point I meant was there is a lot more possibility of happening than with paints or whatever..... everyone has the ability to pick up a camera and take a photo and has the chance of getting a good photo, not everyone has the ability to paint well.  That's better I think. lol. aaaarggh. And if anyone says anything about modern art / who is to say what a good painting is.... etc etc I'll commit cyber-homicide....... he he

Reading through I guess what I'm trying to say by 'better equipment' is demonstrated by my experience : 6 years agoI had a little digital point & shoot, no zoom. I realised I wanted a better camera because I saw a seal in the river and the camera physically wasn't able to get a close picture.  I got one with 6x zoom and more settings - my pictures instantly got better (imo) because I could do things that I couldn't before (like the seal etc) but was still limiting me in getting shots I really wanted - like getting a decent close up of a bird in flight.  Now the new one (10x zoom, 300mm equiv, not more settings, but easier to use settings and a MUCH faster auto-focus) means I got one.  That's where I've been coming from all this time......lol.......
I really appreciate the comments here though, making me realise how small-minded I can be and how I really should type clearer and not blether so much. rofl.

Nameless, Auto is the setting where the camera tells me how to do it right until I override it and screw it up.......lol
