Buy nice or buy twice.

Your dragonflies are exceptional work. My admiration for your skill with them.


Thanks. I'm always mesmerized by dragonflies. So many different kinds.

I understood the post to indicate the results were 100% the camera being used ... isn't that the entire UHH community's assessment?


I dunno... I just liked the photos

Many of you who read my comments know that I'm not a gear nut. I've always believed two things:

Mind over matter — Your photographic knowledge and experience are more important than the hunk of junk in front of your face.

Use the right tool for the job — Don't drive screws with a hammer. Sometimes you do need specialty gear.

Emily at Micro Four Nerds just released a video that is worth watching, and makes my point FAR better than I can. I'll link it below.

A bit of introduction — Emily Lowrey is a professional photographer in the UK. She does a lot of event work like weddings and has a YouTube channel that covers all things Micro Four Thirds and Lumix. Emily's been at it for decades, and knows her stuff. She sells all kinds of Lightroom presets, if you're into that sort of thing.

Most importantly, she cuts through the crap to get to the heart of an issue and lay the cards on the table. So before you think you need a new Whosawhatchit D7590 with four lenses to go on your next adventure, watch the video linked in the post below. It made my day.

I have to be careful with online photographers recommending a piece of gear. I have to resist! There are so many great products that I really don't need, but...

I read/watch/listen to comments these photographers made about the equipment to get the idea of how the equipment are but I never take the recommendation.
