The guys that had the better gear, especially high quality lenses, their pics always seemed to have that extra punch 'n' WOW kind of presence to them. At first I often wondered what the difference actually was - until I went out and purchased a top notch (for that time) 105mm Nikon prime portrait lens. My pics suddenly had that "pop" which had been previously lacking. It's exactly the same as the 'sweet spot' in guitar tone - you just don't know what you are missing - until you finally obtain. it. Professional equipment provides the opportunity to kick it up a notch or two. This is something that I noticed even way back when I was studying at art college…some 35 years ago.

I have recently purchased a better camera so that I can progress from the 'Home-made guitar', I know what I want to achieve and I know in my minds eye what the out come should be, but initial start is less than pleasing! I expected this and I suppose it is the challenge that lies ahead, getting to know your gear in order to achieve "Hey dat looks soooo good". You are right here Kev.
