Oct 26 06 11:07 pm Link photographer can be a snapshooter easier than a snapshooter can be a photographer but all snootiness aside, snapshots are amatuer photojournalism, people have a right to them.. amatuer means someone who does something because they love it..the family dog peeing on uncle ernie when he passed out under the picnic table.. good stuff snapshoots kept photography in the financial ballpark, supply and demand, i've never heard of someone who went on a vacation without their camera.. someone who takes photography to a higher level can be a little proud of themselves, but go to a camera club sometime and see what active amatuers do Oct 26 06 11:18 pm Link lotusphoto wrote: that's possible on MM? Oct 26 06 11:19 pm Link Certain fine art photography (Adam's "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941" comes to mind), some classic/iconic portraiture and most photojournalism essentially consists of snapshops taken by photographers.

Oct 26 06 11:25 pm Link The snapshooter doesn't care to answer the question, and the photographer has better things to do...which means they are the same.  Oct 26 06 11:45 pm Link the amount of butterflies in your stomach... Oct 26 06 11:47 pm Link D°!°K Oct 26 06 11:50 pm Link one makes money and the other doesn't, which means alot of people on here aren't photographers lolz Oct 27 06 06:06 am Link Annique Delphine wrote: You tell me...are you? I know I am and use both planned and spontaneous shooting techniques during every shoot...I enjoy wingin it. For the professional or knowledgeable amateur training and experience in recognizing desirable lighting, composition and spot on timing is what produces quality snapshots. The novice snapshooter is in a zone of his own possessing none of these traits. Oct 27 06 06:30 am Link Dez wrote: A snapshooter can't be bothered with attaching a lens to their camera. Oct 27 06 07:56 am Link Solomage wrote: Correct! Oct 27 06 07:58 am Link A snapshooter takes pictures of their surroundings. The photographer will find a way to make those surrounding interesting. Oct 27 06 08:02 am Link One takes pictures, the other makes pictures. Oct 27 06 08:07 am Link KM von Seidl wrote: hmm...i think you may be right... Oct 27 06 08:21 am Link One takes and one makes. Oct 27 06 08:40 am Link snapshooter rhymes with crapshooter. Oct 27 06 08:41 am Link snapshooter could be paparrazis or tourists Oct 27 06 08:44 am Link Thought provoking thread. I luv it! Interesting to read some of the comments. What about patience and preparedness? Or is that wrapped-up with skill and experience? Photography embraces such a wide variety of styles and art forms that there's a myriad of ways to create an image, to capture a moment, an emotion, or tell a complelling story. (maybe that's why it's fun & challenging) Having been a snapshooter (just simply taking a shot), and now striving to improve my photographic skills, I'm more conscious of my purpose, having a plan or vision, and being patient. But, sometimes I still get lucky! Oct 27 06 08:46 am Link one takes pictures and the other creates images.
