Yeah, your current gear will produce good results but someday you are going to take the plunge and buy some super high megapixel camera that requires a super stable tripod……..and you will get up at some ungodly hour to hike into a place that caught your eye to catch the first light.
Then the next thing you know, you will painstakingly work on a computer that can handle that big honking mega file. You will learn to dodge and burn and all sorts of processing tricks.
Then if you are really ate up with it…..you will be printing those files…..either yourself or through a photo lab. You will learn to mat and frame them.
Next thing you know, you will be showing them off…on-line or in photo contests or even in a gallery……might even sell a few…….but at the end of the day…….you do it for you and there ain’t nothing wrong with that
