What kind of camera did you use?

Don't you just love those people who always ask what kind of camera you used for a photograph? Recently I have been experiencing this a lot. Some really are not trying to be rude and really want to know. When you ask why they always give the same answer, "because I want to take photos like that someday." Ummm. Oh no! Here it comes!

When someone says something like this to you, you have to explain to them that it is not the camera that did all the work. How frustrating is it when you do this and the person looks dumbfounded and says, "I can't take pictures like that". Instead of me being the rude one, I always direct them to links I have found on the web related to information on taking pictures. If you are reading this, what do you tell them????
