Gear matters less than what most people think.

Join me in this new adventure, where I bring my very first bird and wildlife photography set-up (a Canon 1300D and a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5,6 IS STM lens) for a session in the park and I compare the results with photos taken with my current professional gear (Canon R5 and Canon RF 100-500mm lens).

I feel there's way too much emphasis put on gear, but it is possible to achieve good results with virtually any gear. It looks like people get obsessed about photography equipment and forget how important are the PEOPLE behind it - with their hands and especially their eyes.

Craft and skills can OVERCOME most of the limitations of pieces of equipment. But also we have to accept also all the other FACTORS that play a role in photography and that are not under our direct control.

So this is meant as an encouragement to every beginner out there and for all those of you who have a budget set-up!
