Weren't you the one who posted a photo of sun dogs last year or so? It was awesome.

Yes, although the event itself was awesome, the photo was dogshyt as it was taken with my cell phone. Then again, if I was a professional photographer, I would have an expensive DSLR. But I'm not, so I don't. Although I appreciate your kind words nonetheless.

That's where I'm coming from. You can do so much more than what you're aware of, and I was just trying to get you to see that. But you're quite the stubborn, stuck in his ways type, so I guess I'll stop trying.

There is nothing to be stubborn about. There are no hiccups in my process, so you're adding things to a situation that aren't there.
Let's do some examples from my journal:
I took this single-shot photo, and there isn't anything I would change about it. Well, maybe I could've gotten more of the CDs in the shot, but oh well. I think it came out well done. The Walmart Photocenter thought so, too, because they refused to print copies of it because they thought it was taken by a professional. In a twist of irony, the bookshelf that the materials sit on is from Walmart, and the fake plant is from a dollar store.
Took this one, too. The place I used to live in had perfect natural lighting, in the kitchen, no less (the place I'm in now does not). It was taken in my freaking kitchen. I love the fact that the USB robot's head is in the slot, yet his helmet being attached to his arms adds a different perspective. Then you have his legs straight out. Also taken with a cell phone. I think I have a better shot of this as well, but I'm not going to go digging for it right now.
The thing that would improve these is a better camera with depth of perception and a clearer lens. Yet again, although I have creative juices, I don't spend enough time on them, or don't have enough time, to justify trying out a myriad of programs to do whatever, so I either get the shot right, or I move on.
