MY GEAR
Broadly speaking, many photographers with typically say either 1) gear does not matter or 2) gear is everything.
I sit somewhere in the middle of these philoosphies, in that some gear certainly does alllow you to do things you otherwise couldn't or would find it very hard to.
For these reasons, I've provdided my starting gear and my current gear to match all budgets. The images to the side of each of these lists are taken with the corresponding gear, to give you a better idea what you can achieve with each setup.
Nothing I will recommend will be bad, I've wasted money on useless gear and wouldn't wish that on you!
