Take a Camera

How many times have you been somewhere and wished you had a camera? Everyone's been there. But you don't have to be again as each new generation of point-and-shoot cameras offer excellent service in small packages. Disposables work, too.

So take a camera long so you won't miss that shot that you always happen to see when the camera is left behind.

I have discovered that you just can't have enough cameras to have one handy when that natural shot pops up! I keep a couple of digital p&S's scattered about and in the cars just in case. You know what? As soon as I bring one in to clean it or when I do something with one up here in the shop, the very next morning, the best shot pops up at the bird feeder. As soon as I move to get the camera, the whole thing changes and the shot vanishes. The other issue is that if the shot is worth doing, it is worth doing with your best camera. Sure as that happens, I have the little Sony or one of the other low res cameras at hand and lose the shot while I go for the better equipment.

I know that feeling and posted it in the other topic about the sun rays and fog coming in from the back of my house. One morning I will eventually get that shot.
