Insult away, most people here can see through that.

There are degrees of competency, of which I'm sure your aware.

Everybody and their brother that dabbles with a PC is a computer expert. How competent does one need to be to take a photograph?

Assuming the prerequisites of a camera, a recording medium, and a power supply if it's an electronic device, one must:

1. Know to look through the viewfinder (unless they are shooting from the hip) 2. Know where the shutter release is and understand the neccesity of depressing it.

I won't mention where focus is at, whether it's desired, or if montion blur is acceptable.

Voila, we have a photographer.
