I say that I'm a lazy photographer because I carry around a rucksack containing various lenses and a tripod. And usually the bag doesn't leave my back while I just use the camera and lens in my hand.

Well, this morning I decided to go for a walk with just my camera and a 50 mm lens. I sometimes do this kind of exercise, even if it gives me a little anxiety before each trip. Once I'm out in nature, things generally go well and I rarely feel limited.
If you're also used to lugging around a lot of gear for nothing, I'd advise you to do this exercise from time to time. It really stimulates creativity.

What I like in the photo below is the impression of having managed to get a shot of a race of little beech trees chasing each other from right to left.

Beautiful photo Morexp57

I must say that I always carry my bag with me as well. When I go out, I take everything I got, that's all my gear + 3 drones. My wife gets crazy 😂😂.

Recently I purchased gopro to take some quick images, so I'm not carrying everything with me. Did some images, and was impressed.

I like the 50mm lens, is very light and if you have a small camera, is a combo.

I purposely only go out with my camera and one lens and no tripod, unless I am after a specific subject with lighting that needs a tripod.
The reason I only go out with one lens is that it makes me consider the subject I find and alter my approach accordingly to get the best shot.
sometimes i use my 70-200mm, sometimes i use my 100mm macro and other times i take only the 16mm wide angle.
It amazes me every time how much my idea of photography changes when I have only one lens to use, and how different i see the local environment when i know i only have a certain lens with me.
