Take a look at these if you want to feel humble.


Meh. Some great shots in there, sure. But they certainly aren't all taken by the person who collected and put them into that slideshow.

Some of those shots are are the results of pure luck, more than anything else. Some of them may be the results of cropping to improve composition. Some may be the results of having ridiculously expensive equipment. Some of them are the result of being able to travel to a locale where the opportunity to take such pictures exists.

Consequently, while I certainly enjoy all of those photos, none of them make me feel humbled in my own efforts -- every now and then, I have a stroke of luck, can crop to improve composition, or am able to travel to somewhere that allows me to get an out-of-the-ordinary shot. I can even rent expensive equipment!

I'm curious to see the photos you submitted...

Cheers,
