@hakan_geijer All photos are biased 😉

When I occasionally do my "on this day" sessions on here, I'm picking a multiple of 4 (for fedi posting reasons) from a bunch of photos that I took and decided were good enough to process and keep, that were themselves a subset of *every* photo I took. Like, I'm showing you 8 out of - sometimes - 500 or so, most of which went in the digital bin for being rubbish, and the others don't represent what I'm trying to show about (most recently) Amsterdam, say.

I'd also very strongly encourage the idea that the "moment" is personal to you.

Like: if you're taking a mountain shot and you feel warm, but the camera (on its settings) takes a "cold" shot, then use software to warm it back up until it represents what it *meant* to you at the time. Your eyes don't work the same way as the software in your camera, which is just trying to grab 50% gray, or whatever!

In terms of equipment, this is always a tricky one - cameras are *bloody expensive*. As with anything, I'd always advise to start with something cheap in case it turns out to be a fad that you're not gonna keep up.

I personally like Panasonics, but I've just looked up the price of a used TZ100 and it's 50% more than I think I bought mine for when new 😳
