I took it while I was on vacation. Him/Her: Your camera takes great photos. You: Well, see now. Why would you say something like that? Would you say that your pots and pans make great food to a chef? Photography is an art. I work hard at it....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH Him/Her: Uh...OK...nice talking to you...a-hole. Someone needs to draw a cartoon strip for that. Someone with a really nice pencil, that is.

It's only an insult if you're paranoid/insecure enough to let it bother you. Most people don't mean it in a derogatory way anyway. (By the way, this subject has been covered so often on this forum, it's now stale). I agree. Just be polite in return, and get on with your life. BiLL

I opt for the friendlier approach. If they stick around and act interested sure I don't mind explaining the ins and outs of cameras to them. Could be fun. If they just compliment one photo and sod off, fair play, i'll take the compliment for what is probably was and be happy Me flickr

I'm not going to lecture them on what I had to do to make it.

Just be polite in return, and get on with your life. No, I expect the fully qualified comment: Hello sir. Sorry to bother you but I just couldn't help but notice that master piece of a desktop wallpaper you have on your PC monitor. I am assuming that you took that picture. If indeed you did, allow me to say that though I assume you must have a great camera, it takes a great artisan like yourself to be able to wield the camera in such a way as to create such as a masterpiece. You are a great artist. I admire you. You are my hero.
