I've got a new toy which, in theory, should make PADing easier. My new iPhone 4s has a 8 megapixel camera - about the same as my first digital point and shot. And like a P&S it can fit in my pocket or handbag (but given the size of my current handbag, so can my DSLR). I'm not convinced that taking a picture with a camera phone involves the same skill as taking one with a DSLR, although of course there's the old argument that the best camera is the one you have with you.
People like Annie Leibovitz and the picture editors of The Guardian and The Irish Times who have praised the new iPhone for its photographic capability certainly add to its creditability and no doubt it is a very discreet camera for news and street photographers.
This quick shot which I took after attending a council meeting this morning is certainly colourful but I'm not so sure if it's well composed, although as luck would have it the poles and wires happily conform to the rule of thirds.
