Any photographers in here?

If I can ever stop buying car parts or track time I'm going to finish my auto rig and buy new glass.

Hey guys thanks. For that fog shot, that was with my kit 55mm lens. I really wish I had that 10-22mm for it, though, it was such a spectacular morning... I need that freakin lens!

And a prime lens...

And some L-glass...

And a better body...

And...and...and

That's part of why I stopped modding, haha. This hobby has a better potential to become a job is how I justify it!

Haha that's exactly what I say. Tamron makes a 10-24 that's much cheaper than the Canon 10-22. I'm partial to the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8.

I need to get a 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L. I rent it 2-4 times per year. I probably could've owned it by now.

Yeah

I was shadowing/assisting a wedding photographer for a while after I got out of college. I had it in my mind that I was going to do that instead of get a job in my field.

Not much money to be had for photographers any more. Chicago Sun-Times just fired its whole photo department in favor of freelance iPhone users.

WillD · Jun 5, 2013

"freelance iPhone users" haha.

I was looking around at some of the local camera stores this afternoon for accessories and a lens cap holder. I couldn't find too many options, so I jumped online and came across this http://fullframeinnovation.com/products/stow-away-lens-cap-holder and this http://www.capbuckle.com/

The first option is a really interesting design. I wouldn't use it, but hats off on the clever design. The buckle is nice, so long as all your lenses have the same lens cap size.
On my legacy lenses I use the simplest option.

So, I ran down to Hocking Hills State Park over the weekend to see if I could get the hang of the new camera. Lots of scenery and way too many stairs (my calves are burning today). I got a decent shot or two and I learned a lesson about going from an advanced point and shoot to a DSLR. A 70-300mm lens needs some distance. I kept seeing a landscape, but couldn't step back far enough to get the shot. I should've kept the kit 18-55mm lens with me as well.
