Thanks for the comments folks.
Jon–you get to keep on trekking to those cool photo destinations
Jeff, I’m mutually inspired as well, and am always impressed with those who find the art nearby.
And Stacy…thanks for the kudos.

stuning images

I totally agree, Patrick! Macro is great for this – a little strobist-style DIY setup and you can make some pretty surprising images of relatively mundane stuff (I have been working on this lately). Also, longer lenses help me isolate subjects in landscapes and pick out shots that would end up compositionally weak or cluttered otherwise. Some almost become abstracts. I always enjoy seeing the backyard images from people who live in my area – it inspires me to get outside (or inside) and keep shooting!

I don’t have that kind of view from my house, so that is why I need to get on a plane or drive somewhere.
