I got too frustrated when first bringing my new Fujifilm camera w zoom:
First to guard it from the rain, it was wrapped in a plastic bag, and every time, I wanted a shot, had to perform a routine: Plastic off, hands off the walking sticks, then compose the shot, focus, then a shot maybe several. Then reverse the action.
I would be frustrated to have my walking rhythm stopped, just as much as I wanted to take a photo. Like I could not do both processes.
Enveloped in ambulating contemplation, I had to abort and do another process. Sometimes I would simply not take the shot, for which I was later sorry.
Thinking too much of the safety of the camera also infuriated me, ut was simply an item too much, and I loove cameraes since I was fourteen...always too precious to lose.
So I turned to phone cameras and have not looked back...
I am subscribing to Google Photo, so every time I have the opportunity to upload when near a wifi connection, this is what I do, the lenses in the phones are spectacular
It makes it so much spontaneous, a smile is caught with one simplemovement and a tap on the release...
Then when I get home, I can edit all the photos in the comfort my own surroundings. Almost as good as being there. And you can make it arty farty as well, if you have that inclination...
