I have had the Nikon D50 and 50mm F1.8 D for a while now, which I bought for about USD50. The camera is old, we are talking 20 dinosaur years old, only has 6MP and 5 focusing points. Many would not even want to touch the obsolete camera today, opting for more advanced, latest and greatest gear. I believe if you cannot shoot good images with older gear, your images won't improve a single bit by upgrading to the latest gear. The pixel count, dynamic range and AF speed won't make your lighting control, composition, and creative execution better. I believe it is more important to upgrade our skills as photographers first, before we upgrade our gear. The Nikon D50 is a great reminder for me to put that in practice. I made a POV video to share how I got these portraits of beautiful Lily (IG @lilyayumiii).
