This may be too late since it sounds like today might have been your only day to go down, but:
I'll post a contrary view here. You've said that money is an issue. You would buy a weekend pass but only go for one day. Yes, you will likely get some great pix but if you don't you might regret having spent the money that hour could use elsewhere. I know that it's happened that I spend good money to go to an event and just don't get any decent shots. Yes, I might otherwise enjoy the event but that's beside the point. You might get just as many good shots doing something for free. Or you might go and have the time of your life. Remember though, that money might come in handy getting that new lens... I don't think there's a wrong answer here, just go with your heart. ;-) Cheers, frank the prudent "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- Christopher Hitchens --- Original Message --- From: Walt Gilbert <ldott...@gmail.com> Sent: August 23, 2012 8/23/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: OT: Dilemma So, just about 10 miles away, there's a big biker rally taking place in a big, open field. It costs $25 for a gate pass good for the whole weekend. I can go down there today and start taking photos -- quite a few people arrive early -- but I have to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I likely won't get back down there again before it's over. Also, I'm trying to save money for my trip to South Dakota at the end of next month, and possibly a nice lens if I can swing it. I'm sure there'd be some good shots to be had at the rally, but at the same time, I'm torn as to whether or not I ought to spend the dough. So, I appeal to the great minds of the PDML and ask the eternal question put to us by The Clash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqH21LEmfbQ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
