I wanted to play around more with the very first DSLR I ever owned, the Nikon D5000, but this time, instead of using my better lenses and flashes, I wanted to try and use the kit lens once again, and the first flash I ever bought along with the first flash trigger I ever bought.

 

So here is the result.

 

Apart from wanting to play around with the D5000 again, I also wanted to take a photo with it since I always get the same comments from my friends that I only have good photos since I have good gear.

 

I don't own a mirrorless, let alone, a high end DSLR. My current gear is the Nikon D7200 that I bought even when the D7500 was already available (reason: I liked the vertical grip better in the D7200 lol), I only have Sigma EX lenses (yeah, not even their Art lenses), I have Nikon SB-910 and SB-600 flashes (no where near a SB-5000). I wanted to show that as long as you hone your skill, you can take good photos no matter the gear.

 

Upgrade your skills before you upgrade your gear.
