On a recent flight to Washington, D.C., I was reminded of the benefit of carrying some glass on a trip. I was traveling for a weekend conference, and after some thought had left my camera gear at home in order to minimize the weight and size of my backpack. The colors of the sky were sublime above 30,000 feet on the way east, and I had no real camera with which to shoot out the jet window. Such situations continue to prompt me to consider purchasing a secondary camera, specifically a point-and-shoot with manual exposure controls. This is not the easiest piece of equipment to find, certainly not at the price and size points I would consider validate such a purchase. Thus, the search goes on. The photo below was taken on an iPhone 3GS, which has a substandard camera, even for a phone. However, as I am fond of saying to myself, what matters is to make the shot.
