Can't Stop Changing

I got tired of carrying around the 85mm lens and not using it. I can carry a flash and batteries for about the same weight. So, I'm selling it. Life is now simpler with only the 28-70mm and 28mm pancake lenses. 

Both lenses have f/2.8 maximum apertures. I won't be able to rely on very wide, very close or very blurry to make photos interesting. It will be a healthy exercise to be limited in this way. We'll see how long it lasts.

I stopped at Falls View Park in Cohoes this morning and walked the stairway and path down to the river level - and back up. This park is only accessible from May to October.

These first two shots, from the same spot, show my current focal length limits, 28mm and 70mm.
