On Traveling Without The Big DSLR Camera

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

It's not just me then. In the past I've spent a small fortune on my Canon DSLR, f2.8 throughout lenses, fancy Speedlight flashes and the rest. The results are stunning, when they get used that is.

Then a few years back I started teaching photography in high school. The students often shunned 'real' cameras in favour of iPhones and compacts, and the result, great pictures. I gave it a try and I was hooked. Now my 'camera gear' only makes a rare appearance having been replaced by an iPhone 4 and a Panasonic Lumix LX3. Yes, I sometimes miss the telephoto lens and the crystal clear viewfinder, but I'm enjoying my photography much more and shooting more and better pictures..

I've even relegated Photoshop and Lightroom to occasional use preferring instead my iPad and a few great apps. It's the old adage, the best camera is the one you use.
