Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That is brilliant.
The woman standing in front of me with a large umbrella up trying to take photos of the Battersea Park fireworks on an ipad got my full wrath a couple of years ago. If you are going to a display and rain is forecast, wear a waterproof coat and leave the brolly at home. As for thinking that anyone will ever want to see her blurry images of the fireworks, get real, they will be terrible. I do use my phone for photos, often my 'Photo a day' pics are taken on my S5 as there's no way I'm lugging a Canon 5Diii and 70-200 about all day when pedalo-ing on the Serpentine or climbing the O2. They have their place - but a sister's wedding or a concert are not such places.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I think most photographers have more than one type of camera. I have my phone camera an Ixus220 and the 700d. The ixus takes great photos and takes up little space when touring on the bike. And sometimes when going to an event it's best to leave the cameras at home. Enjoy the occasion with your eyes and not through a lens.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I have slightly more than one camera! Can't beat a compact over a phone camera. And why people don't turn off the flash at long range!!!

I bought Chris a compact camera but I don't think he ever uses it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I can understand people holding up phones, but when they do it with tablets or iPads they just look ridiculous.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Some phones these days are so huge they are about 4 times the size of an SLR.
