Can Equipment Make You A Better Photographer?
When it comes to photography, does equipment matter? Well, yes and no. Personally as I started my photo life, equipment never really mattered much to me. I loved the challenge of creating images I wanted to create with whatever I had available. I started shooting digitals with a Nikon D80, an 18-200mm and flood lights.
