Photography Paradox
Three years ago when I moved from a point and shoot digicam to a DSLR I was conscious of the value of kit I carried but soon became cool in this regard and carried a camera and lens every where I went visiting airfields with my professional travels.
I now have a Nikon D2X and its labelled as such is large gold lettering on the neck strap, due to its value and my own safety fears I only take the camera when I am actually on a photography related trip, often among like minded people who offer no thread to equipment or person, namely an airshow.
I recently went on a business trip to Central London with an overnight stay, rather than use the D2X for sightseeing photos I borrowed my fathers D70 for the trip so there would be no risk to my D2X.
So the paradox is, owning a more valuable camera for better images is actually not allowing me to take many images at all!
I think ownership of a valuable piece of kit is hindering my photographic opportunities.
Should I invest in a D70 for everyday use or be more cool about my camera?
