Best photography purchases of 2019<\/h1>\n

It’s that time of the year again, where we look at our\u00a0best photography purchases<\/a>. I have become increasingly careful with what I buy — I mean, this stuff is so expensive — that there isn’t anything that really stands out that I was disappointed with. I have even cut down on the number of self-indulgent purchases. Most of what I bought are things that I can solidly justify for my photography work. However, a trend that becomes obvious, especially when I look over the previous years’ entries for \u00a0best photography purchases<\/a>, is that even when I love a specific lens or camera, I will easily move on and upgrade if I think that move will help me.<\/p>\n

Here are some of what I think were my wisest investments.<\/p>\n

Also, we would all love to hear what you have been up to, and what astute and interesting choices you’ve made this year.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hear from you:<\/h2>\n

To make it interesting, I am offering an online tutoring session<\/a> session via Zoom, to each of three<\/strong> randomly chosen comments.\u00a0The winners will be picked via random number generator, as before. Winners will be announced on January 5th. Should you win, you are also welcome to gift these to a photographer friend instead.<\/p>\n
