Originally posted by BigMackCam As for the one lens idea... I hear of so many people both doing and recommending this, but whenever I do it I seem to come across a scene that I simply can't photograph without a different focal length, often because "zooming with my feet" isn't possible without trespassing, wandering onto a busy road, or falling off a cliff
Thanks Mike. I know what you mean: I'll definitely miss some shots. But right now I really want to try put my photography back into its proper place again. Too often lately I've caught myself thinking: "No point going for a walk today, the light's too boring to get any decent photos." Or I've given up the chance to go out in the winter sunshine when we've had it because I've wanted to wait for the more dramatic light towards sunset.
So I need to shake myself out of that. I've always felt that the point of going for a walk should be to go for a walk. If I see something that I think is worth taking a photo of then great, but if I end up feeling like a walk is wasted if it doesn't produce any photos then I've got a problem.
