Thanks bud! I actually really enjoy the writing side of things so it's a partly selfish endeavor!
That's true, I like going out with V because she takes photos too but not Landscapes and she can control the dog!! But I'm not keen on heading out with togs really, two people with a wide angle and an epic landscape aren't going to get much variety!
I hear ya - sometimes it's also good to go out with a telephoto lens to mix things up a bit.
