re: You ever took pictures on a railroad track?

That's just insane to me. Someone stole my Yeti coolers, I take it as a compliment to my taste in coolers. I mean, I wasn't planning on making money from them. Not to start shite with you roger 'cause I generally like your posts.
The statement that anybody with a DSLR and Lightroom can take a good photograph is just asinine. It makes for a lot of over-processed overly filtered garbage.

It's still all about the lighting, but in good light, anyone can take a great photo. Just some decent composition and processing software.
You get perfect natural lighting in less than 20% of the pics you take. Good pictures are all about adjusting to the not so perfect situations. I've seen people try to use a DSLR and take some shitty, grainy, dark pictures. I've also seen professionals take print quality pics with just an iPhone and a free camera app. It's really tough to capture a professional quality photograph by just relying on the equipment.

It depends on how much work you put into it. If you're seeking the perfect picture, you've got to time it out. Most folks take can take really good pictures in decent light.

You paid a lot of money for a yeti, I pay nothing for a photograph.

Meh. If the photographer is any good they won't be dealing with the type of people that ask those sort of questions. That's just a list of things amateur photographers complain about.
Edit: by amateur I'm not referring to those who do the activity without pay. I mean those who suck at it.

I am an amateur photographer, never made a dime off my images (until next week when my show starts at Magpie Cafe).

You paid for the camera, the computer, your internet access. Believe me, the photo wasn't free.

There is some truth in the statement though. Almost anyone can take a good photograph, the difference between a good photographer and a lucky one though is the consistency. Good photographers produce consistently good work by maximizing their chances for success through a variety of ways.
Lucky photographers just get lucky.

Lucky is about right. When I first started out learning photography 5 years ago, I would go out on a shoot, take 100 pictures and hope I get a hand full of good ones (after editing/cropping). Now I go out and take 10-20 images, return home with nearly all good shots. Many are duplicates, I just take from a slightly different angle.
I use to have to crop 25-50% of an image to get the crop I want. Now, maybe 5% (mostly leveling).
There is a lot of science in photography, it's just not point and shoot to get a great image.

Nope, and I will disown my daughter if she does it when shes older.

Because too many people who own a camera that costs more than $200 thinks their a professional photographer, sees it done on facebook and Pinterest, and thinks its their next brilliant idea to make some money.
Why do so many people relatively new to the world of cooking post so much semi homemade nonsense on FB and Pinterest, usually involving Betty Crocker, Bisquick, and cream of mushroom soup?
As with photography, people who start off in new hobbies often emulate what they see others do until they begin thinking creatively on their own. I don't think it means all that. It could very well mean they want to get off their arse, out the house, and get into something that piques their interest. Good for them.
It should be encouraged. They're not really at their destination just yet, but it's a place to start, and they have a desire I'm surely not going to piss on.

Something to do with parallel lines...I have no idea

Close. It's actually a concept called "leading lines".
The tracks are supposed to lead your eyes from a bottom corner of the frame to wherever the subject is.
You can use a sidewalk, a railing, a stream, a path, a road, etc. etc.
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book, but dammit, it works.

The people that sparked this thread probably didn't know they were using a photography trick
