I always have fun when I am out with the camera, even cold, dripping wet, tired and hungry  standing in a field trying to shoot a band playing music I don't like, I love the challenge to see what I can get and the excitement of looking through the 2-3000 images afterwards seeing what I have got. Am I crazy? LOL</blockquote>
