I get annoyed when people stare at me when I am bent down photographing a plant/mushroom in my local park. I have as much right to be there as anyone else. I have the right to photograph the wonderful flora of my area . just as they have the right to walk their dogs.! |
Ha!ha! You might be right about the jealousy too - I hadn't thought of that
and yes you do have the right to be going about your hobbies. I've always looked at big lenses and promised myself that one day there would be enough cash to afford to do it without bankrupting myself. Its taken 55 years to get to that stage! (and only just as it is) but I'm wondering now whether I shouldn't have pushed the boat out sooner as they say. I've been to a fair few funerals recently (and one today I was going to until I started a migraine as I should have been setting off). It makes you wonder how many more years I've got - there are no gaurantees - and I've always said I would not work like an idiot and put everything off till retirement - then curl me toes up and die - cos its keeps happening to others........... Maybe I should have been buying and using better equipment a bit sooner than I have
