Handheld Woodland Photography Hike
We come up with more excuses to talk ourselves out of the things we love doing most. Grab your camera and hit the trails for a handheld woodland photography hike! You say it's dull, dingy, cold, & overcast and therefore not worth going out?
I had a blast in these dreary December woodlands. Was it challenging? Yes. Did I wish I had stayed home? Nope!

    Hey Mark, really great to see you uploading again. Beautiful walk for those colors on the ground. I agree with you to go out and try handheld once in a while, I actually shoot handheld most of the time. My mindset will always be not to let perfecting my composition end up making me miss the shot from all the set-up. Always enjoyed these videos of yours. Will you be posting more frequently again? 😄

A lens protector/magnetic adaptor 'all in one' would be perfect for me. Its too bad they to not make one of these. Also, the all in one uv/adaptor would take less space and I would have less vignetting.

      I imagine it's challenging to engineer and design products that fit everyone's needs. While this is a great system, it looks as though it won't meet yours. I'd keep an eye out in the event they decide to make a UV/adaptor one piece.
