Whenever I find Nat Geo-type photos, I turn green with envy. But pragmatic me insists I should be content with my Point & Shoot Cam. Many times too, I shoot with my trusty iPhone 4S. The light P&S wins over the desired DLSR, always. Non-pro that I am, I should be alright with these “light” gadgets.
Many are enchanted with sunrise and sunset photos. I think twilight photos are lovelier, but that’s a matter of opinion. I am also fascinated with cloud formations.
Perhaps that explains why a rainy, cloudy day or an overcast sky would never deter me from seeking adventures. I was in these places when a strong typhoon hit: Taiwan, Boracay, Palawan. Yet I had the most amazing time. Yes, even when we were “marooned” in Boracay at the height of “Sendong”.
Who doesn’t want to see a rainbow? Cast against mighty falls, over a mountain cliff, or across vineyards?
No tripods for me. The scenes can do with a little shake. I just pause, snap and go!
hi i couldn’t agree more. often the best camera is the one you have with you all the time. when i travel, i do take my big chunky slr along but after a day of shooting, the next day i don’t even want to be near a camera. win some, lose some. anyway thanks for sharing your post.
Frankly, I make a conscious effort not to be jealous. Knowing I have no choice (my bad back, weak arms) helps! Hey, thanks for pausing to drop a comment!
Great photos! I too use a P&S… mainly because I don’t have the mental focus or the extra dollars to buy an expensive SLR and learn how to use it. I’d rather spend $700 on another trip, or several trips!
I’ve found that the easiest way to improve your photos with a P&S is just to read the camera manual. They have most of the settings ready to go, you just have to know which one to use when (for example different settings automatically focus at different distances, or adjust for different lighting conditions).
Check out the post I wrote a couple months ago on that very topic:

Thank you Jeffrey. Very raw, indeed. Snap Snap Snap away.
