Point and Shoot Snapshot????

[John]. . .So it's been a while. I've been bad. Sorry about not updating sooner. We did a spring break trip to Marco Island FL. Our friends, pictured here let us use their condo for a week. That was really nice. They just built a beautiful home down there. I wanted to thank them and give them something nice and I thought a family portrait in front of their new home would be nice. The problem was that I didn't take my Pro camera down. All I had was a tiny Canon F100fd point and shoot. But I thought OK, I'll take the risk. Of course, they wanted to dress just the way they do every day while they are in Florida, so I wasn't too concerned about their clothing. But I told them in spite of the fact that I didn't have my professional camera that this was going to be just fine. Now mind you, when I have a point and shoot in my hand, I literally point and shoot. Hey, I'm on vacation, give me a break. I never take care to be careful with the shots. So for this shot I had to REALLY Psyc my mind out. As I was looking for the perfect light and the perfect pose, I imagined that my pro camera was behind me on a tripod. How weird to walk back to my position holding this dinky little camera and here they are so perfect in front of me. I braced the camera on a car trunk, put it on 2 second timer, calculated the time and inspired some verbal communication. I took about ten shots. I had to wait to get home to see if I got anything sharp as chimping wouldn't reveal this. I was really surprised to see that the image held up nice at 100% so I figured OK, I'll take a chance. I'm going to order them a 16x20. So to put the advantage in my court, I printed it myself on textured fine art paper on my Epson 4000 printer. Wow, I couldn't believe my eyes. It REALLY looked nice. I mean, I was thinking, did I use my BIG Canon for this??? So the point of the post is this. It ain't the camera. It's the skilzzz dude. (Or Luck) But I figure if you get the lighting right and the pose right and the expressions right and the resolution holds, you've got a home run. After we had it framed in a very nice frame, you could not tell this was a "Point and Shoot".
Let me burn some bridges here. I've seen way too many so called pros, take mere point and shoot images with their professional cameras. What a shame that our clients are confused as to what a quality image is. Again, it has NOTHING to do with pixels. It has everything to do with content that is uplifting and timeless and perfect in every way.
