A lot of it is (1) subject & composition / (2) proper exposure / and (3) post processing.

Steve taught me a lot. But I wasn't that into it until Brad bought my old Nikon which I rarely used, then the floodgates opened up (or wallet) ...
And as I taught Steve, the only way to deal with this sickness is think of the purchases in terms of units.....ck, you didn't spend $1,350 on the D80 with the Sigma....you only spent 1.35 units. See how easy that is to say? 1.3 here .5 there, 3.7 overthere....cake. Pretty soon you will have a whole studio full of stuff, like some sick puppy I know.....(Steve, did I tell ya about the F4S?...film still rocks!)
