The one you have

There's an old saying in photography:  "The best camera is the one you have with you at the time".  People often worry about having the 'right' lens, the 'right' camera body and so on.  Far more important is making the most of what you've got!

One of my favourite city shots is this one that I took on a winter evening in Edinburgh a couple of years ago.   The camera in this case was a 1.3 megapixel phone-camera - positively primitive by today's standards.  But one of the great things about a simple camera is that you don't (and can't) worry about fine-tuning and adjusting focus, shutter-speed and aperture.
