I think sometimes it's just having something to talk about, some way to engage and be interested/friendly. I can't really say, "wow, nice photo, you must have hit that focal length just right," if I think that means you kept a distance from your subject the length of a Ford Focus.

Ya, I understand that. I sorta blame the camera phone. Back in the 90s, before digital cameras came out, I never got the equipment question. Comments were closer to what pencils artists were getting. "How long did you practice to get this good? Did you take classes or you just read books to learn how to draw? "

But as camera phones became more filtered and more "creative", the more people associated better photos with better cameras.
