I concur. It's more like 50% lights, 30% photographer, 20% camera.

But nowadays, sadly.. some people make it like it's 70% post-editing, 10% lighting, 10% camera, 10% photographer

As long as the image comes out the way the client wants it, and they pay for it, who cares? If you can make good photographs, you're a good photographer.

Though it is a bit disappointing when you think about it, more people are being graphic designers as opposed to photographers.

Well i am the client

I make photographs to please myself. And i like it the way from the camera.

Then everyone is happy!

Hah thank you. Yea it was just a test shot to figure out it the cam even worked and it does, it makes the pic like more older which is cool. The background is a crooked fence, i took the shot staright as I can it's the fence, not me! Lol.. So what do you mean by composition? Sorry i'm still learning.

Oh wow Ty very usefull, but I'm still confused on some things like, what is aperture?why was I told that "A" on my lens needs to be at the line when there numbers next to it? What the "f" means?do? All I know is zoom till focus is good and shoot it
