I say "foolishly" because it limits what I can catch, but lugging something around that requires me to plant myself and fiddle, rather than respond and move on, just hasn't been appealing. <BR/><BR/>As far as zoom, or macro, or most anything else to bring the point of view nearer or further, if it's not what I can catch with my one 17-55mm lens, it's not meant for me to catch.<BR/><BR/>I do lean in and out and hold my breath and belly down and bend back lots, though -- I sort of embody what zoom and macro I need.<BR/><BR/>Why not get more equipment? Just stubborn, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I want to focus on the "seeing" -- and putting more focus on the tool, while not a bad thing, would draw my energy away from that moment of really looking. <BR/><BR/>It's hard enough for me to see things without the added complexity of a tool frame of mind, but good for those who can juggle both!Lori Witzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744273435691506484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19290845.post-37539918592997056292007-07-15T14:31:00.000-07:002007-07-15T14:31:00.000-07:00Nice, Lori!
