Seriously though, I can see how annoying that can be. I never really thought about it until you mentioned it, but the whole "this landscape shot was inspired by these lyrics!!" thing really is ridiculous

I envy you, Winter is just around the corner up here in the northern hemisphere and winter in Portland Oregon is very rainy.

haha I love it. When I get summer everyone complains that they are getting autumn, when I get autumn everyone complains that they don't have autumn. Like with everything in life, photography is about attitude. If your positive about the surroundings you have, you will get good photos. But I know your not the gear whore complain-about-everything type

austinboothphoto In reply to hougaard [2008-10-28 20:21:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I really can't complain because I really lucked out on my trip to the coast this weekend and had amazing sunsets both days. I'll be going back for another 4 days in a month so hopefully it won't be rainy.
