[QUOTE="Michael J., post: 473625, member: 13861"] Once I was on a point putting anything away. I lost motivation when I read "Photos taken with the DXXXX." I thought why does it matter. I have what I have. Nowadays I am over it and enjoy taking photos. Since I don't attend to make money from photography I just take photos to prove myself I can create great photos people like it. Than I visited my friend who has a great hobby, model railroading. I watched him for a while. He told me that he ordered the most parts in Switzerland or Germany, other things what he needs for make a great landscape and other details he gets it here in Thailand. He spent a fortune money on his hobby. It is just for him, cos nobody in Thailand is interesting in it so to whom to show. OK> he shows some VDO's on a specific web board, but that's all. He enjoys doing modeling, sticking pieces together, sitting and watching when it is running on the track, and in the background some great music. As I saw him, I thought myself, Photography is just for me and my family. I enjoy it for me. Since that I don't have any pressure to take a photo. But I have to add, I like it more now, cos I am the one who decide what I am going to photograph, what I am going to keep, and how I am i going to pp it. I stopped purchasing gears or lenses, instead I use what I have doing things what people on the Internet say you need for something a better lens, a new camera with the newest technology, etc. What I buy for photography is now to comfort me, such a strip, or a second battery and some cleaning equipment. Thailand has not that good service for cleaning. Doing by myself keeps me in touch with my gears and gives me a great feeling knowing my gear. And sometimes I don't take any photos, no problem at all. The motivation comes back. Time doesn't matter. The only thing I do is I don't make myself a bad feeling if some days I don't feel taking photos. When I see photos taken from members of nikonites buddies, I enjoy. Some people are inspiring me so much that I am eager doing similar as them. That's why I like Exif to see the settings which is a starting point for experimenting. [/QUOTE]
