I know....not the most original thread in the world, but I think some of us noobs would like a little insight on where to go once we've passed the point and shoot on Auto phase.
In short, I've been playing with a T2i with a kit lens for about a year now in my free time. I also have a telephoto kit lens that came with the package, I don't really use it often. After some internet research, I'm considering replacing that 18-55 lens with a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 non VC. I like the price (on eBay) and it seems like a nice step up from what I'm using now. But the more I look at these upgrades the more I wonder if I'm wasting my time. I realize better golf clubs won't make me Tiger Woods, but will I learn more with another lens to play with? What should I be looking to improve if it's not equipment? Any good literature out there I should check out? Thanks for any input!
Here are 3 pics I like a lot and consider some of my best shots, so you can get a feel for where I am I guess.
I also use it in conjunction with a Go Pro to make edits for my friends and I to enjoy, my latest efforts can be seen here if you are interested in checking those out to gauge what I've done. I think it's pretty obvious what came out of the Go Pro...
