>>3001242I don't know why so many people care what others shoot. If you're a newbie and you got a 5D IV and 3 L lenses with an $800 Gitzo tripod, $400 in filters and $1200 in lights, good for you. If you're a newbie and got a Rebel with the two lens kit and bundled in bag and SD card, and tack don a $30 tripod, good for you. If you ever want to upgrade or change equipment, good for you. I don't know why it fucking matters. It's your money, your time, your life.
When I say your camera doesn't matter I mean that quite literally. It's a fucking tool. People insist you don't need a very expensive camera to take quality pictures, but it's not like owning a good camera makes your pictures WORSE either. Likewise spending less money doesn't mean your photos get better, just like shooting on film doesn't make you better etc. get it? I think some folks swing the other way and try to act like you need to "level up" and "unlock" better gear by earning it with your "skills", but guess what? Photography's not a fucking RPG. If you have the money to spend on a nicer camera and you want to spend it, you don't need anyone's approval but your own.
