Hi there,

I'm new to dslr photography, I have been using my new camera for one month only.

My question is - Do you really need to have top notch lenses and up to date editing software to produce pictures with a wow factor?

I'm happy snapping dont get me wrong, but I see so many photos around with the wow factor and I'm wondering if some of these pictures are doable without the expensive stuff?

I have a 450D with kit lenses and also the nifty fifty.

Is it more time and experience or just better equipment and editing knowledge?

Any comments?
