Yeah, it's a whole different way of taking pictures - it slows everything down. Tripods. More attention to exposure. Which leads to more attention to lighting. Which leads to more attention to composition. Which will eventually lead to the need for more equipment. Kind of like fly fishing.
Oh what enjoyment lies ahead.

DeleteNice textures in your shot. I'm trying so hard to learn more about photography. Wish I'd started years ago.

DeleteI packed my good camera for fishing trips all the time but fishing and good cameras don't mix. The rod always won. Always.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm with you. When I'm fishing, I'm fishing.
