Having a great camera and wonderful lenses will get you that much closer to where you want to be, but equipment doesn’t determine what a great photo is. It’s the vision, the intention, the time you spent making that dish in your kitchen, the expertise of the chef, the love and experience that makes the photo.
It’s very easy to get mesmerized by a shallow depth of field with an expensive lens, or the weight of a very hefty camera, but that’s never what makes a great photo. Again, it’s the vision of the person behind the camera. That’s what it’s all about.
