Studio stuff:
I'm tempted to get into some studio stuff because I love the idea of the gear and creativity you can have with light. However, being stuck in the studio is getting away from the type of photography I want to be doing which is getting out in nature and amongst people and real life. I think I'll be hanging back on this genre but using some of the lighting principals in my location shooting.
