Photography is more than just seeing something, pointing at it with a lense, and pressing the button. Photography is an art. Yes, you'll hear that statement from a million different photographers. That's why it's true. The way a photographer will sit in front of a flower with a camera until it blooms so they can take the perfect shot.
