But I don't blame other who would still prefer the f1.8, because not everyone so crazy about photography as I do.

Unfortunately I do have my limitations and I have to work with them and do the best with what I have at the moment. I found that having faith, positive attitude and not complaining because I can't afford this lense or this flash etc. make me not only a better photographer but a better person. I always try to concentrate and be thank full for what I have. Pulling out jobs and doing my best is how I can save money and how day by day I can afford better and more expensive equipments.

Before I could afford a flash I illuminate still-lifes and scenes with cheap 500W halogen lamps like they are used on construction sites. Until today I still like the warm but hard light from these lamps. I often find the limits of my equipment an inspiration.

Brilliant stuff Neil! I honestly hold this same belief. I find it really pushes me to always try to impove my ability regardless of my equipment. “Right now, my limitations are my own.”
