Just as calling oneself a PRO with six months of experience does not make one a PRO...

But the sales person at Best Buy said I would be a pro if I started a Facebook page and put a $10 UV filter on my 50mm.

Yes.... but that only works if you bought a D4, and the Holy Trinity!

no one in the origonal posers post was mentioned as being a pro

was just a story about equipment. and as said, he may have been amazing with it, or he may have taken worst photo's then the OP.

How big was it? Sure it wasn't a large format view camera? Did it have a bellows?

I suppose if he wanted to take a shot of a single tree he might have had the proper gear. However if the intent was to catch the overall scene showing the color change and the landscape my guess would be that you were closer.

I was shooting a motorcycle race a couple of years ago using my D90 and 70-300 lens, and most of my shots were in the 150mm range. A woman struts onto the scene and plops her tripod down and clamps something on top of the tripod with about 500mm of prime lens. I just keep happily shooting with my little lens and hearing her cuss about missing shots. Sometimes people just don't give much thought to what is necessary compared to what looks impressive.

Unless he was doing a panorama or shooting with a larger medium.
