Not to disagree with your concept, but in general I find marque-
centric equipment lists to be generally poor places for the
development of photographic aesthetic appreciation. I invite you to
join my mailing list, SeePhoto, and/or the Picture A Week mailing
list where you should raise a similar question. You can subscribe to
SeePhoto by using the web subscription interface available at

and PAW by using

I admin SeePhoto and I co-admin PAW.

Start studying the work of other photographers and classify their
work as being "like" or "not like" your own. If you assess your work
as being static in nature, work that is unlike yours will likely
include work which is less static, and you can being to build an
appreciation for what makes it different from your own work. Then go
out and attempt to emulate that look/feeling/emotion at first, as you
develop your own aesthetic sense of what dynamism in a still
photograph ought to be.
