UGH !. Very sorry to hear this. No wonder you were "missing in action".sierraphotography wrote:
I wish we could have a month for this one!!!! .........I have been admiring everyone's work from afar, as I have been diagnosed with lupus arthritis and am in a lot of pain. But it's looking like a good time to stop moping, and start shooting again. Now if only the smoke from Yosemite would go away, or better yet the fire go out, then I will be able to go outside again. I am 150 miles away from that fire, and my air quality just shot up to 168 today!!!! Yikes. If for some reason the smoke doesn't clear up, and I don't get a chance to shoot this one, I will try to bring something to the table asap.
But as two other fine gentlemen before me have said, shooting photos can help keep the mind off the pain, and that helps to reduce the pain a bit.
And Paul's advice is also good - think about reducing the weight of camera and lens. Every little bit will help.
Hang tough!
