Help me spend $500

[Godfrey]

Dragos, that sounds great and inspiring, I hope you will have fun. I'll check again what his available here locally in workshops/courses and may do something similar.

Godfrey, I didn't want to insult your lenses by calling them inferior, sorry, bad choice of word I was just thinking about the great pics from you I had seen taken with the relatively inexpensive Konica lens while most lenses I bought in the past year cost m more than that. I just realized that owning 20+ lenses doesn't help my photography one bit if I don't learn how to use them, and that I have not spent my time wisely in the last year. Over in another forum we always say that the professional has everthing he needs, the amateur has everything. I seem to have followed that trend here and just realized I need to shift my focus to get better, that's all.

Thank you for the compliment!
Don't worry, I didn't take offense. And I don't think the lenses did either. ;-)

Sounds like you're on the way to a different mindset now ... always great to do a refresh and think about things from a different angle. Enjoy the workshop!

Hi Dragos, thanks for bringing that up at exactly this time - I just signed up for a 1-day Lightroom workshop next week and a photography course (5 sessions) starting mid-March. And they are on campus in walking distance from my office, I wouldn't even have looked if you hadn't brought up that topic.
