nostalgia: a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

I was cleaning out a drawer when I came across a set of graduated neutral density filters, a filter holder and adaptor ring. Not sure how long ago I used them. But, nostalgia took over and I took them with me to play with one morning. That was all it took for me to remember why they were in the drawer and not in my camera bag. They were awkward, brought on frustration and reminded me that I’m not a professional photographer selling wall size prints. I shoot because of my love for the craft, its creativity, the time it offers me in nature and its simplicity. The improvement in Lightroom masking has made it easier and better to bring forth the images I want for my enjoyment and this blog.  No need for graduated neutral density filters or the nostalgia.

They had some major flooding east of here yesterday and we are expecting more rain today. Stay dry!
