Tyranny of too many

 The tyranny of too many

It was to be a simple hike downstream along the Suwannee on the Florida Trail, to primarily photograph wild azaleas and anything else that inspired.

Upon returning and going through the 100 or so frames, barely any moved me. It was probably due to the fact on my left shoulder was the D850 with 28-80 lens, on my right D3500 with 11-16, in my right pocket the GoPro Hero4, in my left iphone6a.

Upon each scene I’d mentally envision with which should I use. Some I’d try all four. I think the too much thinking hindered. A friend spoke of other photographers work being more technical, hers more artistic. I’d say yesterday I was caught up in the technical and not the single camera with lens simplicity. The artistry suffered. 

Next time I’ll only venture out with three options, then two, then one. If still I’m technical, then none. I’ll just walk and in my mind envision artistry. Those will all come out perfectly.
