[QUOTE="Mister Bumbles, post: 378876, member: 34301"] Good morning gents! It's 5 am and I can't sleep any more for the moment, apparently 4 hours of sleep was all I get tonight, so I figured I'd drop a quick reply. First, thanks for all the superb information! It is giving me a lot to think on! Second, as to the type of photography I personally like to do. I tend to be drawn to nature and landscape. And on the opposite end, macro photography. A few examples...
