I've seen it many times and even on occasion been guilty of it myself, yep the dreaded gear envy...
You turn up on a shoot with a group of friends
and as you look around you see that almost all of them have either a better
camera than yours or that awesome lens you've always wanted. Of course
photography has never been about the camera or lens, it's always about the
photographer and how he or she utilises the equipment they have.
I have many cameras ranging from a full frame Canon Eos 1Ds Mark II to a simple point and shoot compact. Often when the mojo leaves me I will revert to using the
compact and get right back to basics, it's like going on a busman's holiday and
it really gets my creative juices going again in getting around all the problems
that using a point and shoot can create
The image below is of Gibson Mill in the heart of Hardcastle Crags
above Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire and is a favourite haunt of mine, it's a
simple image that was taken using my Canon Ixus 750 point and shoot and is one
of my favourite shots of many that I have taken of the mill. So next time
you start to suffer a little gear envy, just remember, it's not the camera or
the lens it's all about the person pressing the shutter
