Anyone with a Smartphone these days thinks they are a pro photographer.    :grin:

The V700 is a fine subject though.

I got 3, much nicer and more polite than their younger brothers. I also like the tank better, and curvy sidecovers.

Do you mean expert photographer instead of pro photographer? 

There are pro photographers who are novice in certain mediums and subject matter, and amateur photographers who are experts in certain mediums and subject matters.

It was just a nod to the fact that I am relying on modern technology to create the photo instead of any learned skill on my part.   :grin:
