I kept reading, thinking I would eventually get to the payoff. But all his poo poo getting stolen/dropped/run over and crushed by an airport vehicle does not happen. Edit: drat, top of the page...better post something Ever wonder what the secret is to getting a lot of likes on Flickr? 1. Create a masterpiece  2. Make sure that it's Exceptional, Admirable, Creative, and Eclectic  3. Ⱨ₳₵₭ ₮ⱧɆ ₥₳₮ⱤłӾ

I wrote a long response to a new OP this morning about travel kit and how and why I do it as a travel shooter. Then I erased it and pasted it here in a new thread. I decided to make it a new thread and some of you won't like that I did. But I think it might be instructive for a few guys who are struggling with lens decisions (every day on this board) and various ways to do it, what to travel with and why. Bob T, Jerry, JS, Mike, and several of you other guys who have already heard me say this 500 times, don't bother yourself with this post. But I get PM'd on this constantly and there is at least 5 threads a week about this very subject. So I decided to make it a thread and apologize for it's length. Here goes: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I brought a Canon with a 28-105 lens. Now, having said all of that, you know what I just did? I bought the medium format Voightlander Bessa. Why? Hard to explain. But I did it, which completely reversed my logic for being the best photographer. Those new babies are waiting for me at home right now in unopened ebay boxes. I'm not sure how they fit into my travel plans. That means I will be far less versatile and not nearly as quick and nimble hand-held as with my Canon gear, and every shot will have to be more well thought out with less DOF, no IBIS and higher required hand-held speeds, but it will either make me fall in love with MF or not.

Ⱨ₳₵₭ ₮ⱧɆ ₥₳₮ⱤłӾ I assume the digit sequences near the bottom are supposed to bring you views when people look for those, but does it really do anything if the user doesn't type the whole sequence ? As in if I tag a photo "Prunish Doodle Farts", searching for the tag "doodle" won't bring up the photo because tags aren't supposed to be for partial matches ? Related: are people who run scripts to autofave other's photo and bring audience usually completely bland and boring as poo poo as photographers ? It seems pretty consistent

tl;dr guy is all of us. Buy a body and a couple lenses thinking once you can get from 10mm to 200mm you got everything you need. Then your eyes start wandering and before you know it you're lugging 300 pounds of glass you simply cannot bear to leave at home JUST IN CASE.

Meanwhile I only brought a x100t to a weeklong trip to London and got great photos out of it.

Then your eyes start wandering and before you know it you're lugging 300 pounds of glass you simply cannot bear to leave at home JUST IN CASE. This was me in December, when I bought three lenses, flashes, triggers, reflectors, tripod, and a backpack to accommodate all of the above as well as my laptop, etc. Boy howdy, for a moment I felt like a successful dentist. Proud of my new haul, I lugged the whole lot around for two days while on Christmas holiday, before realising I’m dumb. Now I just have a gripless body with two primes and a spare battery, stuffed into a Thinktank holster bag. To be fair, the backpack and pro zooms are kinda needed for work, which includes air travel. At least that’s how I’m justifying it to myself.

It's funny when people I work with who are in front of the camera find an image and can point out exactly what's wrong with it. And they're NOT photographers! Once I can find an image link to share here I'll be curious to see if people pick out the same reasons it was not a good photo for the same reasons we did.

Flickr baffles me every time time I stray from my little bubble for some reason: https://www.flickr.com/groups/1088517@N25/ Why does this group exist? Why does it have 298 members? Why do so many of those members post photos that are in no way barns?

Hey, a bunch of those are taken just down the hill from my flat. There's a guy I see driving to work he always stands on the same motorway overpass with a camera, he's there without fail regardless of the weather SLR in hand waiting for... something. Now I'm wondering whether he has a similarly vast Flickr archive of very specific vehicle photos for me to find.
