My phone lives in my pocket. Therefore I now always have a 3.2 megapixel camera with me, letting me take my photographic eye with me more often, and recording the oddities and beauties of the world on a more regular basis<br \/>\nThe photos it takes are pretty good &#8211; considering the size of the device that takes them they are pretty damn impressive. Not quite a dSLR, but it&#8217;s a very different machine, and has different advantages. No doubt the photos I will take will be very different to those I&#8217;ve taken in the past &#8211; using both film and digital varieties of SLR as well as a digital compact &#8211; but I&#8217;m looking forward to taking photos regularly again. It still feels very much like a phone first and camera second &#8211; despite the cyber-shot camera branding -, and I do sometimes feel a little silly holding up my phone (<em>shush <\/em>&#8211; that&#8217;s got nothing to do with taking pictures of signs at busy railway stations and the tops of cars at night) &#8211; a very different feeling, if no less conspicuous, to holding up a bulky SLR.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;ll be interesting to see whether I still want a dSLR quite so much once I get used to this, and even more interesting if I do get one, how different, and in which contexts, the photos I take end up being. For now, though, it&#8217;s great being able to take a snapshot of anything I see, and continually experiment with capturing the world on film(memory card).<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll probably post more photos to <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/dotx3\/\">flickr <\/a>than I put up her, but will doubtless stick some up here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10,12,13,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mayonissen.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
