In the days before digital photography, you could make an investment in serious gear and expect it to last a lifetime. Now photographic equipment evolves almost as quickly as do computers, so in order to keep up you have to invest in new equipment on a regular basis.
Of course the good part of that is you get to buy new stuff.
A good photographer can take a good picture with a ten dollar camera in his or her back yard but let's face it, there's no shot in the arm more satisfying than getting a new piece of gear.
Last week I bit the bullet and invested in a new camera and a serious lens, my first big photographic purchase in a decade.
The lens arrived the other day but I'm still waiting for the camera. I jumped ships going from Nikon to Canon which means the new lens won't fit my old camera, so to test it out I slapped the lens on a borrowed camera. These were taken the other day in my own back yard so to speak, Chicago's Loop, with a cheap camera and an expensive lens.
I'm particularly happy with this last one.
The camera won't arrive until after Christmas so I'll have to be a good boy and wait.
Merry Christmas to all!
