Who needs the latest and greatest camera gear to make decent photographs? These images were captured in on this day in 2012. The camera I used was a Sony NEX 5N with it standard kit lens.

Anyone who knows me will smile at this. They know that I suffer from gear acquisition syndrome (GAS) and that is true up to a point. Of course I have remastered these images using the latest versions of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. This has enabled me to bring out details that I couldn’t back in 2012. But the digital images were captured back in 2012. Using a camera which by then was out of date and had been replaced/updated by Sony.

Will I stop buying new photographic equipment? I doubt it. But I have almost reached the end of this journey. Both camera gear and computer technology chase ever decreasing improvements in performance. An example of this is latest iPhone. Yes it is a bit better than previous year’s iPhone but not really by that much. Hence the drive for Apple Intelligence which of course you have to have the latest chips to use.

Is this the wisdom of age? Possiblyish…
