lol, nice shot, specially from a moving car xD, certainly looks like you got a lot of exciting photo opportunities while on your vacation!

That’s quite an impressive shot to be taken from a moving car... even if it wasn’t moving too fast!

Thanks!

But even a proper tool is useless in the hands of an incompetent...

all you need is luck sometimes. I guess I am not totally useless when it comes to handling a camera, but I'm no expert by any means.
Here, out of about two dozen smudges, only three pictures were sharp and this one was the nicest one.

Yeah, that certainly is very true...
I also took about 6000 pictures in New Zealand and a lot of them are smudges

Year. That cannot be helped sometimes. Spray and pray is where it's at. XD How long have you been in NZ? 6000 sounds like a lot. I only have about 1500 pics from CO. On the other hand, I took a walk in Prague today and ended up with 900 shots, give or take. Many are duplicitous and more than half of them will get scrapped for sure. It's gonna take a loooong time to sort them. I am definitely snap-happy, almost can't last a day on a 32gig SD card. XD

Well I was there for four months and there are a lot of sights worthy of being photographed there
Of course there are a lot of the same or similar pictures too but sometimes it was not quite the right angle or zoom

That's so very cool! That number makes perfect sense now. Yeah, I have been running into the same problem quite a lot lately. I need at least two (ideally three) more lenses to cover my photographer's needs. One wide angle for narrow spaces, one longer zoom for sport/event/wildlife photography and I've been eyeing a 90 mm tamron for macro and portraiture. :-D I am at the point of seriously considering buying one of the three, which is probably going to be the telezoom. Having a wide fast prime or the macro lens would be fun, but those would be more like toys for me in any case. I can't really justify the wide yet, I don't struggle with fitting all I need in the frame often enough to blow money on that lens just yet, but I feel wishing for a longer reach far too much to be stuck with just the kit lens for much longer. XD I was shooting a video about paragliding with a 150-500 mm sigma I had borrowed and it was sick! It was the equivalent of having a 225-750 mm lens on a Fullframe dslr. It was practically a telescope. Ah, man, that was so much fun! :-D I don't think I will need to have something quite this long, but a 70-200 or 70-300 would be nice :-D

Haha, you’d really get along with my father and great uncle... they are photo-nuts too
I'm personally actually not a big fan of having all this equipment and all kinds of different lenses. In my opinion, it hinders one more than it actually helps but that has probably something to do with how I take pictures... I only had my little Canon PowerShot G7 X with me (great camera btw) and that really did the trick for me. I don’t really like to plan my shots, it’s not important to my that the lighting and the exposure are perfect. For me, it’s more about capturing the moment just the way it was. One thing I really don’t like are posed pictures.
Now a zoom and a macro lens would be pretty sweet though as I like to take pictures of animals that sometimes aren’t that easy to get close to...
And I’m slightly obsessed with taking super close-up pictures of random objects

Ha! Certified photo nut reporting for duty! :-D jokes aside, I am actually hoping to be a pro photographer one day. :-D
I understand where you're coming from and I sometimes wish for a swiss army knife type of lens, but unfortunately the image quality suffers in comparison with figuring out what type of stuff you tend to do and choosing a more specialised lens accordingly.
I hear good things about the PowerShot Canons, definitely a nice camera for travel. I really like some of the 'bridge' cameras/ultrazooms too. This type of camera was my first one that had full manual controls actually, it was an old lumix superzooom, way back in the day when 5 MPix was a lot. :-D
One built-in lens combined with a looooong reach, probably the closest thing to a Swiss army knife sort of camera there is. great in bright daylight but they tend to suffer in low light.
Everything has pros and cons... :-D either say good bye to night shots or get used to lugging multiple lenses around XD

That’s awesome! Judging by the photographs you uploaded onto here, I can definitely agree that you’d be cut out for that job
Yeah, that would be pretty cool indeed... maybe like the revolver and lenses of a microscope but instead of just magnifying lenses you have a normal, a macro and a zoom lens. That would add quite a bit of weight to the camera though... but I’m sure someone would figure out a way to make it work.
Well I can definitely recommend it. The picture quality is great and it’s a light and handy pice of technology. The only downside is that the zoom isn’t to great and the digital zoom just makes everything very blurry. Yeah, these are some pretty good cameras too... my father still has quite a lot of the older models and I’m actually quite fond of using them too...
I reckon saying bye-bye to night shots would not be the worst option. With all the different picture editing programs (like lightroom for example) on the market, you could make even an almost black picture look fairly decent.

I kinda like that microscope-like idea, but it would probably only,work on cameras with a small sensor so that the lenses can remain small in size.
It would be something totally new and would make for quite a quirky little camera as well. Maybe there would be a market for it after all. :-D
You might be right that sacrificing low light performance on an otherwise all in one camera is well worth it and not a bad trade-off after all.
Now that you mention editing programs, one day when I was still new to cameras with manual settings, I thought to myself I'm gonna go to an aquarium and take pictures like a boss. I kicked up the shutter speed to freeze the fish in motion, but didn't kick up the Isis enough by a long shot and ended up with a bunch of black frames as a result. I still managed to get half decent edits out of those though, so it wasn't all that bad, it was just a much needed reality check. XD
Speaking of old cameras, we still have an old Olympus film camera at home, but it's just a point and shoot...

Yeah, it would not work with big lenses...
It would probably sell well but more just because of how novel it would be and maybe not so much because of the quality of the pictures...
Stuff like that has happened to me too but with all these editing programs, you can really almost save everything. They might get a little grainy of course but even then, the motif can clearly be seen. It really can take you back a notch to see your pictures turn out like that though
That’s pretty awesome though! I’m actually really fond of Olympus cameras, we have some of those left too
My grandfather also had a Kodak Instamatic 220, which I now own which is pretty cool too but I don’t think you can still get film cartridges for those

Yeah, the advancement in technology really makes you think, doesn't it? back in the film days, if you underexposed so much that the frames were left practically unexposed, I don't think you could 'burn' them in the black room quite this successfully...

It does indeed... technology advances exponentially

yep, but it wasn't moving very fast
