Woman in the Painting

GRD, f5, 1/35, ISO 400, JPG

On my way home I decided to take a longer way and stop over in Greenwich. This was a good idea since I came upon a gallery opening and a Q&A session with the artists. I snapped a few pictures and this is my favorite picture for today.
It really pays off to always have a camera with you at all times. There was a thread in the DP Review forum what the best camera is. THe best camera is the one you have with you today. No other camera is or will every be better than the one you have with you.

  1. This is great. Just that. I cannot explain it, but somehow it made my day. A thing that I never wrote anywhere before, although I always wanted to! ;)

  2. This is a great capture.

    Note only carry a camera but always be aware of potential shots (if you are not looking for shots you might as well leave your camera at home)

  3. Thanks DLC, very glad you feel that way and thanks for your comment!

    Thanks Yesbuts!
    You are right, you have to look around you and be aware of potential shots and have the camera out and ready to take the picture.

  4. The best camera is the one that triggers your creativity and doesn't work against you.

  5. You are right Wouter, this is most important in a camera and not fancy features or pure technical image quality.

  6. that the camera works with and not against you is indeed very important.
    But Cristi, you main sentiment is, IMHO, complete true;
    Have a camera
    Any camera
    With you at all times
    is far far better than the great one you left behind

  7. Lili, you are right, a camera that works for you instead of against you is the best option.
