Gear - Mono/Tri-pods

There are many situations in which a photographer may need to add to the camera's image stabilization and require either a mono-pod, or even a tripod. 

Photos - the moon series

I thought to start my first photo show-casing with the moon, for several reasons.

The first of them is that the moon has always fascinated me, and I find it beautiful. Even though we always see the same side (its rotational period is identical to its orbital period, so the same portion of it always faces our planet),  atmospheric conditions can alter what we see.

The second reason ties-in at this point, because our gear and knowledge both can equally affect what photo we may take, and thus what we see can be greatly different.

On gear & editing

I’v heard many times that photography gear isn’t the most important aspect of a photographer’s expression, but I have to somewhat disagree. One can have lots of artistic yearnings, a great eye and talent, but if the camera is too basic, all the results would normally be quite basic. That isn’t to say that nothing can be used, but we do have limitations inherent to any particular model’s specs.
