Photographers pull quite the trick on newbies, and before the wool falls over your eyes, I urge you to think about whether that prime lens they're all telling you to buy really represents the best use of your hard-earned money.
Hey, if it wasn't that hard earned, don't worry – splash out, you've probably got some spare. But for many of us, decisions aren't all that easy these days. So my advice to you is to look at the ways that technology can extend your creative repertoire, and you know what – a drone is going to do that in a lot more ways (and possibly for a good bit less investment) than a really good lens, especially a prime lens (which means a lens you cannot zoom).
