New stuff can be fun, but the old and sometimes unused stuff in your closet can take some really nice photographs as well. Light is #1, composition/subject is #2, and lens or camera is #3 or #4.

The only lens I've bought recently is the 50 f/1.8 II and for it being so inexpensive it really does take outstanding images.

For those of you who are upgrading: enjoy!

For those who are not, take some of the unspent cash and go somewhere interesting... watch some videos or read books on post processing techniques... make more effort to go out near sunrise and sunset.
