Took some images...

[GregWeld]

Like most things --- most of the time it's really not the equipment but the hands and mind controlling it.

Some very good shots are taken with some pretty inexpensive stuff...

Don't get me wrong -- equipment is what we all live for. Just sayin' that just as Scott just showed us - you don't need a studio to take studio shots. A cardboard box - a cheap lightbulb and some fiddly fooling' is all that is required.

I did take about a 1000 shots at a Formula One race -- with borrowed lens from my semi pro buddy... that I would never be able to get without the lens. And I know a couple of those were in the 1000's of dineros but the best stuff I got was because he guided me in the set up.
