Gearhead?

Greetings, volks. Welcome to Hohenfels Volks, THE place for our place! Stormy weather has Hohenfels and the volks wet, chilly, and looking for places to run their gear.

Speaking of gear, today’s little post is on the importance of our gear.

First, a couple questions to all our readers… how important is having the most up to date gear? How do you feel about all the bells and whistles? Do you need all the latest cameras and accessories? Answer on the Hohenfels Volks Facebook page, to have your say.

The simple fact is that most folks out there haven’t even mastered their favorite features on the gear they have. If you can nail your exposures and desired images every time, and feel that moving up is right, then go for it. Even if you can’t, go for it if that’s what you want. However, the newest cameras and gear won’t make your images better, they won’t improve and perfect your composition, they won’t do more for you.

Learn what you have, get great at using the features you need and use on a regular basis, then move on as your photography grows.

Just my 2 cents. Have a great evening, everyone, and enjoy the rest of the week. It’s almost time for a couple days of shooting!

I’d love to know what you think and what you’re doing with your photography. Where are you headed, and is there anything you’d like to see here? Share your thoughts here or at the Hohenfels Volks Facebook page. Of course, commenting on both Facebook and here is always appreciated, too! Don't forget, we're on Google+, too!
