These photos were taken in 2006 – 2008, so I was using the Canon XT, XTi, and maybe a 40D towards the end.
But when you cook a good meal, do people ask you what pan and stove you used? Who's preparing the meal makes all the difference. Similarly, in photography, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." – Ansel Adams
There is no short cut to good photography (such as buying some ultimate camera), the main ingredient is technique. If you lack the knowledge of good technique, read books, read blogs (here's mine: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/?s=technique+tips&submit=Search), take a class… and most of all practice.
While you're at it, make as many mistakes as possible. That's what we learn from!

I'm going through old photos of Death Valley
It's amazing how many "new" images you can find… which you either didn't notice, didn't have time to process, or you didn't have the tools (at that time) to adjust the image adequately to make it worthwhile.I can't wait to get there next week!

I just got back from there
Beautiful! +Jeff Sullivan
Splendide ! Beautiful ! Master pieces photographs !!!! So great !
I love the last part, mistakes are some of the best work I do, as it helps me develop technique and familiarity with the equipment. Which is where I think Digital cameras hold an edge over film, they allow you to make more mistakes freely, and learn for those mistakes sooner.
Thanks +Tazein Mirza Saad!
I'm glad you mentioned your blog has tips and techniques. Very helpful and interesting reading.
I use the blog to consolidate some of my new content, which on a daily basis consists of G+ posts, so the search function becomes important on the blog to find what is desired +Claudia Bugh. I'm still working on the main site, and once I have a home page Google will be able to index it for search, and I'll start share the technique posts one at a time so they can be found easier (both here on G+ and in Google searches, at least in theory... we'll see how well it actually works).
Delighted spectacle for eyes and soul...hummm...i falled in contemplation... meditation... oupsss
I'm good at making mistakes +Thomas Frank Jr. I'm entering my fifth year of shooting time-lapse, and I still make dumb rookie moves at times (especially when I'm tired)! Individual digital still photos tend to be a little easier, because you can often see issues before you've left the site. The time-lapse issues are more like the old film days, where you don't see the issues until you process what you shot.
Well put +Jeff Sullivan
