It may sounds cheesy but I have always loved summer evenings with warm air blowing against your face and the setting sun shining lazily in the horizon which would usually create a really beautiful scenery. Well I am not sure my photos do any justice to the views I saw earlier and I am starting to wish that I had two camera bodies, one for action and general photographs and the other for landscape using an ultra wide angle lens but I guess I am dreaming again lol.

1. Those flowers were inside someones backyard so I had to use the maximum focal length and even that wasn't enough :(

I felt the same way when having a wide angle and my kit lens... so I chose to buy the prime one, and I love it. I change lenses often now, though, you just better get used to it xD.

The quotes on the garbage cans are interesting. I liked the peace one the most. Lol you find weird things.

I guess I am just not very comfortable walking around with several lenses especially my kit lens and the Sigma lens which both are quite heavy and bulky compared to the 50mm prime. I haven't really used that lens whole a lot because of the fact I can't zoom with it lol and I haven't really taken many indoor photos lately which I think it is best for. I guess you are right I better get used to changing lenses all the time or play the lottery lol jk

Yeah I like those quotes interesting as well it's just too bad that I couldn't find a better background for the peace one :( Well I live in a weird neighborhood haha

I use that lens mainly for portraits or indoor shots only. Sucks for everywhere else imo. I think the wide angle one looks great with night shots, I need to take more of those. Why aren't you comfortable carrying the lenses with you? You did buy a backpack...

I guess I am one of those people who like to travel lightly but you know I haven't really thought about that backpack lol. I actually bought it for longer trips and didn't really think of it as a walk around backpack but I am going to try it out the next time I go out and take pictures lol. I think you should take more sunset shots as well especially right after the sun was gone the flat landscape here really makes the sunsets beautiful.

Yeah - I missed a red sunset a couple days ago. Just never had my camera with me... I should seriously just keep it in my trunk.

Sigh, I know how you must have felt :(
Well at least you live in a nice and quiet city where the chance of someone breaking into your car is probably very slim unlike here in Regina -.-
I just kinda wish that dslrs aren't that bulky it would've been nice if they could easily fit in your pocket lol.
