Good day,
I'm a full time traveler who enjoys taking pictures of beautiful things just as a hobby. I find that looking around at other people's photos mine don't seem to have the same pop to them, and I'm just curious if it is an equipment issue, or perhaps the truth might be I just am not that good at taking pictures.
Right now I'm using a Nikon D5300, and to try and limit myself to a single lens I've been using an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens. Most of the time I find I am taking pictures of still objects, landscapes. Sometimes far away subjects when in Africa, etc. Very few action shots.
I've been pondering the idea of upgrading my equipment for a while. If I'm being totally honest money is not really an object in this matter. I will spend what I have to, I just want to only spend it one time. Weight is somewhat of a concern for me, so I really need to limit myself to a max of two lenses for when I'm on planes and whatnot. Not sure if I would really see a huge benefit from upgrading the camera body itself though, maybe I should just go for a higher quality lens?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
RG
