“The best photos are taken when you have a camera”
I have started to make sure I always have a camera with me and have tried to take photos even when I felt I had the wrong device for the conditions. The gallery below shows photos taken on this basis which I like or find interesting considering the camera/conditions.

Not a great photo as the phone was struggling with a subject in total dark lit only by their own iPhone 4S screen. I've included it as I like the effect and colouring caused by the camera; almost like a painting.
