The weather was pretty nice over the weekend, and I went to the beach. I didn’t bring my usual camera (shame), and all I had was my smartphone. But I thought this may be a good opportunity to take pictures with it.

I was never good at shooting photos with smartphone cameras. There may be because of a number of reasons (Don’t ask me why, because I don’t have answers). I tend to prefer (or I’m used to),

– Having some weight in my hand while waiting for a moment to capture;

– Having some discrete feel when pressing the shutter button, followed by a solid confirmation that I have indeed pressed the shutter;

– Keeping one eye looking through a viewfinder, while the other looking directly.

Smartphones are too thin to hold steady,and there’s no feel for shutter except some light sound. But maybe I should think of smartphone as something else, something totally new (and they are something new). I’ll come up with a way so I can get used to taking photos with smartphones.
