It's a "welcome back" as I used to be "into it" until life changed things. Now I'm back and crazy in a different way, learning how the camera works, what bits of tech I need, what works and what doesn't work (handholding a 100mm shot at night at 1/2 sec doesn't work, even with the shake reduction
), etc. Oh, and when shooting full frame with a 12mm lens, make sure your feet are not in the picture
. It's fun and doing EXACTLY what I wanted/needed it to do (get me back OFF my butt and out into nature). The biggest difference is I don't need to mess with rather nasty chemicals to get prints now. Earlier in life, money was much more tight (first being in college, then having kids, who seem to eat money), but now I can actually buy the stuff I want. Spending my kid's inheritance.
