reality check

That's right. Plan the image don't choose accrding to what you fancy fondling.

I never take an extra lens because when I'm changing lenses I'm missing images. If today is a 'wide day' in a place with narrow alleys I'll take a wide lens, why bother with a long lens in that situation?

The vice-president of my photography club went on vacation recently, intending to take some summer shots of wooden bridges - she took the film appropriate to what she had envisioned. When she got there, it was as she had imagined, and she took many photos. The next morning, a freak snowstorm had moved in and covered everything. The film she had intended for the bridge in summer could not handle the extreme contrast of a nearly black-and-white environment. Fortunately, she had brought other film.

The street photographer, Garry Winogrand, was asked if it bothered him that he missed photographs while he was reloading. His reply was that there were no photographs when he was reloading.

The tao says you don't step in the same river twice. Everything changes, be ready.

Hilarious. I wonder what the refractive index of water will do to the depth of field (will it do anything, at all?)

I think, the focal length of your lens increases by a factor of 1.3. NOT like cropping factor of the digicams - in this case, it really changes. So the DOF changes too.

Weird though, since on one side of the lens you still have air. Gotta think about it, what the final result is.
