Image is an enlargement from a photo taken in the Stygian depths of St James on the Tyne & Wear Metro, hand held on my Nikon D7200 with 20mm prime lens, so fast aperture. Is everything I expect from a DSLR with a prime lens, as despite the challenging lighting conditions, crisp image with minimal noise. Am sure my iPhone would do its best, yet there are circumstances where the larger sensor size seems to work. Plus, with a DSLR it is easier to override the automatics and go old school, which again is not a bad thing when the lighting gets tough or AF is more auto than focus.
So, I am juggling my heavy DSLR and camera bag, which in fairness is quite a small one for camera plus spare lens. And now I walk using a stick as the arthritis makes one leg a touch wobbly. Imagine Metro control room are circulating for a laugh the CCTV of me trying to change a lens while balancing on a stick. Sense of humour failure later says really should just give up and embrace photo free dotage. On the other hand, am sure I am not the first to end up juggling camera and stick, and wondering how people manage? Reminding myself that back in my youth would wonder around with just camera plus short zoom. Could do that, except that was now looks like the folly of youth as taking railway photos does take one to less than fluffy locations in terms of personal security.
