I can't take pictures with my cell phone. It may surprise some people, especially those who shoot mostly or only with a smartphone, but I just can't. It's hard to hold, it's hard to focus, it's hard to see the display when there's too much light, it noises when there's too little light, the controls are messy, the software "enhances" the image as it pleases...

Maybe it's because the camera wasn't a priority when I bought the phone. I may be using the wrong app to take pictures. And it's also possible that I'm "old school" using the phone to call and taking photos with the camera.

However, I recognize that there are a few situations where shooting with a cell phone has its advantages. For example, when you see something interesting worth taking a picture of, and your cell phone is all you have on hand.

For example, when you see an interesting sky on your way to work in the morning.

Or if you find the sky interesting in the evening on your way home from work.

When you're walking home from the supermarket and you see a snail in a tree.

Or when you want to convey someone's mood after a short rain shower, which has refreshed and brightened the surrounding scrubland.
