 Travel and only bring iPhone. Fulfilling? (please note edit in #1) | |
Sorry folks I just had to make this a separate topic
OK so some of you know we’re going on a trip to Western Australia. Despite being a photography enthusiast and despite having always brought lots of gear on our many travels, I just had a crazy and most courageous thought.
What if I just leave all dSLR gear at home and only bring iPhone and binoculars. Anyone tried this? Was it fulfilling?
Now I don’t have a second - lightweight - kit like Fuji’s and such, nor will I be able or willing to acquire such, especially since were leaving in a couple of weeks.
The reasoning behind this thought is:
- I am the only one in the family who cares for creating serious imagery. Therefore, wife and kids want to move on during walks while I am just still in the process of slinging my camera around and changing lenses to get ready to photograph whatever it is they have already seen.
- creates tension sometimes
- I used to be strong and managed to catch up with the party but my health is not what it used to be
- I have never really experienced not having a high end camera on trips and am curious if there are pluses or just minuses.
So, anyone?
Thanks,
Ralph

Edit: I am sorry but the title is a little limiting with respect to the rest of the topic. I.e. I eventually took my iPhone and a 5D4 w/ 100-400ii and mixed the photos. I left the title unchanged for the sake of recognisability and as to not to confuse the discussion.
