Now I know whose side you are on!
I am only an amateur who likes to take photos, I have no professional camera just an entry level one, and yes I take a lot of photos just to get the one i want!
So is that wrong? It is my hobby as well.
Simply to walk with nature and see its beauty, is all I want and all I require, plus it gets me away from 'er indoors."
I prefer plants! They don't nag so much.
Regards.
