Many of our frustrations as photographers have to do with the abysmal difference between our aspirations and our first results. We see photographs that hallucinate us, that move us, that make us want to be better. We study techniques, we copy EXIF ??data, we watch tutorials on YouTube, we go to photographers talks, but we don't find what we really need. For me, and for all of us who are part of this blog, this leap came, obviously, with practice but, above all, it came with the purchase of my first quality objective. Suddenly, everything I saw and envied, but that with my paperweight was not able to achieve, I could achieve. It was up to me to squeeze their possibilities or not and apply my knowledge, but finally I could go a step further. So I always defend and defend that the best team is yourself, but that after you, the best team is your goal. With a good goal, some creativity, and desire to be better every day, there will be no stopping you :).
