I get emails\u2026\u2026 \u00a0Whenever I do a \u00a0few days of gear entries I get two kinds of emails, “l love it, do more!!!!” and “I’m sick of gear blog entries!” \u00a0It’s o.k., no hard feelings, I understand, some folks love to talk gear, others don’t, \u00a0I take no offense! \u00a0I write articles about gear, because; \u00a0( a.) it’s my blog, and ( b. ) I do like to talk gear, I’ve been doing it for a long, long time! \u00a0I do however agree with the statement in one email I got, the person quoted, \u00a0“How much of difference does it make anyway!!!???” Truthfully, very little! \u00a0I’m shooting my best images in 45 years, but I could just as well be shooting them with a Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Leica, etc, etc,! \u00a0 I just like what I’m shooting now, that’s all\u2026.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We need cameras to make photographs, though art work in the form of images can be made with other devices. \u00a0Lynn Rogers makes wonderful images with a flatbed scanner. \u00a0It is however impossible to image everything with a scanner! \u00a0Yes cameras matter, and lenses and tripods and accessories, but not as much as you might think. \u00a0When I lecture I love to share an image and shock people with the technical details of t he image!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This image which I’m very happy with in all technical terms, was made with a Nikon P5000 Coolpix camera, a sub $500. point an shoot. \u00a0I’m fond of saying treat any camera like a “real” camera and it will give “real” results!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think what I’m saying is that what Rod Planck said many years ago still holds true today, “Technique trumps equipment every time!” \u00a0So on that point I can fully agree with the gear heads and the don’t care for gear talk folks, in a sense you’re both right! \u00a0Whatever you use, use it to full advantage, have fun, and enjoy the craft!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
