My camera is a phone, Samsung Galaxy S2 - I have to work within its limitations - obviously it does not have a tripod socket, and anyway when travelling, as I was, I have to severely limit the weight as I'm quite unable, having had a heart problem last year, to carry much. I do have a Fuji S100fs but, oh gosh, it is heavy compared to the phone which is pocketable. I'd rather work with something I can have with me every day, than risk missing that special picture. I did however pick that specific viewpoint most deliberately to get the symmetry shown. All that is missing is Virginia Woolf Anyway the forum content, as I understand it, is not specifically for only "great" pictures - and can surely even include "work-in-progress" material.

It’s a fine example of a shot which is supposed to be ‘good', but is only 'good enough'. I’m sure Dan intended it to be sharp, but was let down by not taking the equipment and camera shake into account. > > > > > > > > >
