I don't get to get away that often, also since I am alone it gets expensive also, I also don't travel with work etc.  If one was limited to 45mins from their home, how similar or different would your photography be?  Some would say they enjoy re-visiting local locations and photograph them where the light is different.  I know also there is also such a photography topic as "100 yards" (from home).  

Your views? 


Cheers.
