I have never sold one photograph. That might be a reflection on my end product, or the fact that it has always been hobby for me. Since about the late 70s.
If my finances would permit, I would buy the latest and the best. Not coz of need but want. I would still not sell any photographs. It is still a hobby for me.
The strange thing, though, is that whenever I have progressed to a newer model
Of a camera, I still spend the same amount of time before pressing the shutter, as I did long time ago...when i learned what photography was all about.
My D70, e.g, was excellent. I found that I was limited by its high ISO performance. Of course, a tripod could have alleviated some of these issues.
Or a flash. But I am not averse to these aids.
Should I still be carrying a wooden tripod or a light weight carbon fiber one.
I still spend more time looking and envisioning than pressing the shutter.
The last camera I bought was the Fuji X-pro2.
Miraculously, I discovered that I could set it to all manual, and I was back with my
Spotmatic.
The Df, similarly, I can set to all manual.
I am sure, the next bang whiz that might buy, I can still set to manual.
Enjoy my photography...of course that is why I do it.
Whether in manual or full auto.
Nothing has changed for me...except that iso 6400 is a blessing for a lazy old man with shaky hands.
Having the latest in no way should not allow one not to practice and enjoy the essence of different genres of photography.
I had 2 sets of cameras and lenses with me, when I went to meet the locals..so to speak....
Like has been observed, better to click with the subject...than with your camera.
I am all for clicking with the subject. I enjoy my photography, but I enjoy my subjects more...
My iPhone was enough. Allowed me more time with my vision.
