I've always thought that coming up with a pretty good photo was some kind of an equation of how talented you were and how many photos you took. Almost anyone can come up with a good photo if they take enough of them. That's the best thing about digital cameras. It allows the ameteur to take hundreds of photos without the expense of film.
Someone like me coming up with some good shots with a digital camera after taking hundreds of shots is completely different than me standing on the sidelines at a football game in 1968 with a Honeywell Pentax 35mm and getting a great shot when I could only afford to bring one roll of film with me. In four years of high school, I managed once to get that shot of the wide reciever leaping in the air for the ball that was six inches from his fingertips.
With a digital camera, I might get a shot like that at every game.
