I am a little confused...
First, I do not know what to photograph. I like many genres, but I am not sure what is my thing so I can devote to only one genre and learn everything I can, then maybe try something else and learn again.
Second, I am a little bit lost with my gear, what to use, how to make my life easier with everything I have, because now I have 3 lenses, D7000, many filters, Speedlight, cables, straps, charger, lens caps, about 10 kilograms of equipment.
Third, I am also lost between shooting and Photoshop editing, I need to decide whether to spend most of my time on planing and preparation for which I do not have the time, or just to shoot and then edit the good ones in PS.
The problem is I can not spend few hours every day just on shooting. My wife and I have 2 year old son, and I can hardly find enough time for my business, so my photography is closely related to my family's road trips, and holidays, which is not so bad, but even then I have free hands maybe few minutes per hour, we must carry at least one big bag for our son, then one or two bags for our personal stuff, phones, keys, and everything else, then a pushchair because he can not walk like normal person, no he wants to run everywhere and always, then I can bring my camera bag. Very complicated.
I am searching for a solution for my photography, I do not want to change my D7000 for compact camera, but I need to find a way to shoot in this conditions, also to know what to shoot. I need to decide which of my lenses to use most of the time, do I need some easy strap, or maybe I just need to wait for my son to grow up a little bit so I can have my both hands free. I do not see my self in changing lenses every few shots, just want to make a simple setup and just go and shoot.
I know all this sound stupid and silly, but I am just thinking out loud, and I hope someone had similar problems...
