The combo of the Cherrywood camera and the 180mm lens really let me down at Canon Beach. My one usable frame was shot on the 6x7 reducing back. Shot with the 121mm Super Angulon.

Last Wednesday 2/22, my wife went to dinner with some colleagues, so I fixed a nice dinner for my son and I. While eating we watched the first episode in a mini series documentary on color in nature called, Life in Color with David Attenborough. Very interesting watch. It was a nice evening sharing a nice meal and watching an interesting show with my son Matthew.

Just different and, I think, less forgiving to use. More megapixels can improve your ability to crop but require more care in exposure and focus and need 'better' glass to really shine. Some of my all-time favorite photos were taken years ago with my D70 with the kit lens and its 'old technology'.

That’s quite interesting that your “older” camera with the kit lens did take an all-time
favorite photos.

I’m guessing that’s not always the hardware itself that take the perfect photo, it’s that you have learned how your camera function, and know what that specific situation needs for settings, if you know what I mean?🙂

So in other words, there is still hopes for me to😂

Never give up hope. :)

Working experience with equipment that you know is never a bad thing. The experience allows you to know the limitations and work-arounds to bypass them to still achieve your goals.

I believe there is always a 'learning curve' whenever you change any type of equipment (cameras, lenses, cars, computers, even luggage, etc.). I started my curve over when I moved to this body and still have a long ways to go before I come anywhere close to exceeding its capability. (But it's going to be a fun journey)

That is true.
It takes time, practice and also patience to achieve what I want from my equipment, and also from myself.

It’s like you said, don’t forget to have fun during the journey😊
