Forgot the Camera

When I say forgot the camera, I mean I forgot my dedicated camera (usually the Ricoh GRIII). I’ve made a post about this camera, I think. Either way, I had my phone on me, and more and more I’m beginning to get tired of always having to move around with a camera to take photos. I think I’ll try using my phone more often just for convenience sake, although I’m sure this will seem a bit weird at first - especially for street photography.

So, anyway, I forgot the camera last Saturday while I was on a drive and just happened to spot this beautiful scene at the seawall. The tide was extremely low and the water and mud were like a layer of glass reflecting the sky. The mood was exceptional and calm - just the way I like it.

I really didn’t expect much from the iPhone camera, because I know from experience that when you’re taking photos with it, the photos seem awesome, then when you reach home and begin really going through them, quite a few of them are disappointments. This time, however, I found something I quite appreciated, and it has encouraged me to take more photos with my phone.

That’s not to say that I’ll abandon my camera altogether. I truly believe that the camera will perform much better, but for the sake of convenience and sometimes pure necessity I’ll make sure I remember that the phone camera can still be quite awesome and dependable.
