 <\/p>\n

Sure, it is exciting to get a new lens, camera or accessory. There are a few myths that may be good to consider before shelling out the cash. Conversely, there can be compelling benefits when you need to add to your photography arsenal.<\/p>\n

Do I sound conflicted? Absolutely!<\/strong> That's part of the fun too. Making decisions to stick with what you have. Making decisions to add the latest camera or lens. The good news is that you<\/strong> get to decide when and if you want to make an investment or change.<\/p>\n

Let's explore some of the myths. We'll contrast the myths with a few benefits with a little humor mixed in.\u00a0Feel free to weigh in with your opinion too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

New gear is better than old gear<\/h3>\n

Ask any photographer who has a favorite, go-to lens that's sharp and battle-tested, if they would trade up to the newer model. Unless there is something that is so new, so different and so needed, that go-to lens will be held on to for a long time.<\/p>\n

The same is true with cameras. I see professional photographers with digital cameras that are several years old. Their images are sharp, rich and fantastic and rival images with today's cameras.<\/p>\n

The average photographer's salary is in the 40,000 range per indeed.com<\/a>. Lenses and cameras can take a big bite out of an annual salary.<\/p>\n

The decision to add a camera needs to be weighed with features, functions, return on investment and your budget.<\/p>\n

New gear will make you a better photographer<\/h3>\n

You can't buy your way into being a good photographer. \u00a0Building skills as a photographer and artist requires work, rework, patience and trying new techniques.<\/p>\n

As your technical and composition skills grow, it is<\/strong> easier to take advantage of and apply new technology features in your work.<\/p>\n

I'm not saying that all gear is equal. \u00a0There are differences in quality, sharpness, speed and other features. \u00a0Many of those differences may have a higher price tag. \u00a0 As someone that has used multiple telephotos over extended periods of time, I have experienced solid quality with kit lenses, Tamron and Sigma Telephotos lenses and would recommend them. I've had my Nikon 500 f\/4 FL ED for a year and I'm a huge fan of this lens.<\/p>\n

Each of my purchases have been solid decisions for what I could afford at the time.<\/p>\n

Before buying lenses, I did my research on the various camera and lens manufacturing sites, technical review sites \u00a0and also looked at images produced with the lenses from other photographers.<\/p>\n

Check out: How I researched my latest lens purchase \u00a0<\/a>to evaluate cameras, lenses and their performance.<\/p>\n

New gear is easier to use<\/h3>\n

Definitely true. Definitely not true. I sound conflicted again.<\/p>\n

Some new gear is easier to use. It may be lighter in weight. It may be more intuitive as you already have a base of knowledge to apply in your new purchase. Newer technology and gear may be faster, sharper and compact.<\/p>\n

Or, there may be just the opposite. I recently acquired the Lensbaby Velvet 56mm which is an all manual art lens. I love it! However, it really<\/strong> is an all manual lens. There is no autofocus, the aperture f\/stop is adjusted manually by turning the dial on the lens. The lens also required a couple of steps to be recognized by my camera. In summary, it is more work. \u00a0But it is fun, it has tapped in to some creativity and worth the learning curve.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

With new lenses and cameras , here may be more bells and whistles. \u00a0These new changes come with a learning curve. \u00a0 Camera manuals need to be reviewed. Buttons are not in the same place and your memory has to be retrained. Plus, there's practicing with your new gear so you know how it will operate in various conditions.<\/p>\n

The New Features Won't Get Used<\/h3>\n

This one is up to you. If you're planning to upgrade your new camera or lens, what are the features you are looking forward to using? If you don't know, wait until you've had a chance to read reviews, research and talk with a few photographers. Will the new features bring value to you and your specific type of photography?<\/p>\n

The Only Way to Make Money as a Photographer is to Sell Your Gear<\/h3>\n

Yes, I'm being a bit tongue in cheek here. It is harder to make money as a photographer selling prints these days. Websites, printing companies, online retailers provide hhigh-qualityprinting to professional and non-professional photographers. More people are choosing to use their own work versus buying images from artists they may not know.<\/p>\n

You can make money as a photographer, without selling your gear. Find creative methods to reach others in your local communities. Host workshops, networking events, participating in non-profits (yes donating your time\/work here) that are connected with your type of photography. If you are a good writer, blogging and writing to complement your work is another method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
