A nice read, and some food for thought. I certainly do not take my camera everywhere.
I took mine with me today on the way to buy groceries. I drive right by a small creek.
You never know what you will see.
Thank you.
That is the first time I have seen a heron in that creek, and while I was shooting him, he speared that fish.
Just dumb luck.
All you need is that one lucky moment. And most people not have the ablity to find that lucky moment while some a trying so hard in which they are not getting anywhere.
Case in point: I was watching one of the oh so many bowl games, and so bored to death, started playing with my D90. Took some shots of the Poinsettia my Mom had sent me for Christmas. Tried natural light and slow speed. As mentioned by Alden, "You'll be amazed how many opportunities arise."

Thar's a good shot. I really like the details and colors in the pillow!
That was shot with a cheapo Nikkor 18-55 f3.5 which is proving to be a much better lens than I originally thought.
I've also tried going back to my 18-55 kit lens and trying to get more out of it.
I started carrying a P&S on my hip. I was missed to many shots I came across and wanted because I couldn't have my regular camera and lens with me for one reason or another.
Link seems to work now, and the three points are:
The article is well worth reading, as are most off that site.
Never really bothered about point three. However the first two are spot on. I took my main camera on a boat trip through the Norfolk Broads. The slower pace and the fact that I had my camera with me force me to see much, much more. Turned out that having my camera with me improved my relaxation and enjoyment ten fold.
