People always ask me about my camera gear. This photo was taken with a $100 lens (aka not very "good"). Gear is nice, sure, but locations are infinitely more important. Don't waste your money upgrading your camera in beliefs that it will make your photos better. Use that money, buy a good pair of hiking boots, see what happens.
One of my favorite quotes (Jim Richardson, Nat Geo photographer)- “If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.”
It's the weekend, now get out there.
