What Move Has Improved Your Photography The Most???

Please Move. Wrong forum sorry

I think that the equiptment you have now is just fine for what you do....
I don't see any of it as a limitation...

but, if you really want to spend some more money, I would say a shorter prime like the 35 or 24.

I think your gear is fine. What do you want to improve? For me, I am a big bird photographer and my photos didn't get better until I start to shoot with a 500L F4 IS. :) I was able to capture shots and creating that magical look that I normally wasn't able to achieve. Right now, I am working to improve my landscape shots. Having the right glass isn't an issue (Carl Zeiss 21mm) nor it helps me at first. Is more about knowing how to read out pattern in nature and your surrounding and to capture it under the most desirable light condition. And knowing how to use your filters....

Going from a 20D to a 5D. I already had a 24-70L, 70-200 f/2.8 and 85 f/1.8.

What move? Pushing the shutter a bunch of times.

^This.

Taking more pictures helped me the most. As well I took a photo course and now when I screw up a picture technically (not artistically yet unfortunately) I can figure out why and correct that mistake before taking more shots.

I'm trying to convince myself to step up a camera body (7D?) but I haven't reached the point where in my mind bad shots are solely the camera's fault (well maybe bad slow XT/350 focus may be giving me some OOF shots tracking motion).

Some things that you may want to do may require purchase of different equipment (long telephoto for clearer shots as opposed to shorter lens + teleconverter, large aperature lenses to get background blur and shallow DOF, tripod for long shutter opening shots, external flash for different lighting effect, etc.).

and also picking the brains of fellow photographers. I've learned so much just from tagging along with friends on photoshoots.

The examples posted in this forum have helped me more than anything. Lots of shooting has helped a lot too.
