Hearst Castle®/California State Parks
In November of 2009, I visited Hearst Castle. I brought my “good”
camera thinking I should at least have it with me to take photos using my zoom
lens. I took a few shots with it at first, but I wasn’t getting the pictures I
had envisioned. Like
many occasions before and since, I found myself utilizing my point-and-shoot
for its ease of use.
I felt a little
guilty having my boyfriend carry my “good” camera all over the castle and not using it
again. Everyone else on the tour was using their professional-grade cameras. It
was hard not to compare myself to the others and not think less of my own
pictures because I wasn’t using a “good” camera like them. But, in the end, the
camera doesn’t make the photographer, they eye does. My Power Shot is an
extension of my arm and has become part of me. It’s easier to carry, easier to
hold and takes good pictures.
