5 Things better than a new camera

Totally agree with you and certainly better than a mug, a cat or garden flowers taken with a K1 and DFA 50.

I enjoyed photography more with a compact camera when I had a life, lots of friends, holidays, parties and family etc.

In the past year I got fed up taking landscapes, hardly use my gear any longer and have a big thought about selling most of it.

😥

I understand that feeling. A year ago this week I went on vacation in Vermont hoping to do landscape work, but it was much too hot to go hiking where I wanted with all the gear, and thus, landscape work is a sticking point for my gear right now as well. But it is not the gear's fault, just my own for not going to places to use it more often.

It's just boredom with the same old places, been there done that and never photograph the city I live in. The West of Ireland is where I should be, it has outstanding landscapes and dark sky areas.

Tony and Chelsea Northrup have a new video up "5 things better than a new camera"...

Which reminds me that I should sell more of my lenses, some are never used and I hate possessing anything I don't use, for me it is hoarding.
