My new Nikon 24-70mm Lens doesn’t make me a better Photographer

I have been wanting this Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens for a long time. It is supposed to be one of the best for portrait and event photography. Well, I finally got it today after ordering it through my local camera shop. 

DSC 0262

Earlier in the day though I was looking through photographers in the NWT for Tourism purposes and I came across Benjamin Lamarche’s Flickr Stream. I met this guy at a photography workshop back in March. While looking through his photos I can just tell this kid has talent. You see he is still in high school and probably can’t afford the nicer lenses but his photos are still coming out 10x better than mine.

It proves the point that the gear doesn’t make the photographer, being creative ultimately does. Sure you can learn a lot of stuff from books and courses but I firmly believe it is the natural talent within someone that makes them a great photographer. I am not one of those people.

But I like to pretend.

Talent Comes to Life

I get such an adrenalin rush working yesterday. I wasn’t doing anything overly hard or out of this world, I was doing what I know.

I have done much what I did yesterday before but on a different scale. I’m use to working a long and on little project. I have never had the support of co-workers right there.

Now it seems like I’m unstoppable. I started noticing how I could do things and was efficient about it.

Long story short is, yesterday, I realized I am doing what I am suppose to be doing and discovered that with a little support and work available I can actually do it.

I’m sure others would have known I could do it for a long time, but I think this was a real self-confidence moment I had.

Smile and Say Cheese

I was doing my ….err… Internet lurking and found out that I’m actually a professional photographer. I knew I had a hidden talent.
