Can You Buy Your Way To Better Photographs?

In this, the second in my series of (hopefully) thought provoking questions about landscape photography, I ask, do you think buying a more expensive, higher end camera will make you a better photographer? 

Do you feel that in some meaningful way your current camera is holding you back in such a way that you’re unable to create the images you want to make? 

After all, both entry level and high-end professional level cameras have the ability to set aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, everything you need for a properly exposed photograph. 

For the record, I’m not referring to the technical aspects of “Better,” lower noise due to better high ISO performance, or larger sensor size, etc.

These are all topics I’ll be covering in upcoming posts though. 

When I say “Better,” I mean artistically better, beautifully composed, well exposed, images of stunning scenes with amazing light.

Images that take the viewers breath away. 

Will a better camera do that for you?
