I used to take the Panasonic LX5 or the Panasonic GF1 as my onboard camera when travelling. I say that because I don't try and stuff my cameras into my pockets. I find that the cameras are too big for that or to put it another way, my pockets are too small. I always have a rucksack with me when travelling so that is where they go.
I'm still having problems dealing with these fixed focal length cameras being used to zoom lenses and I'm still trying to train my eye for this 35mm equivalent focal length. I find it really wide and often ask myself how do people shoot with even wider lenses. I'm thinking you have to go in very close to use these. It just isn't the way I shoot. I suppose I'm also too shy to do this type of thing. Just trying to turn the tables around. How would I feel if some idiot would come up to me and stuff a camera in my face. I don't think I'd like that so I tend not to do it myself. I tend to use this camera in a documentry type of photography. Get more of my surroundings in to show a little more of what's going on.
Any tips out there, please send me a mail on how to get to frips with these wider focal lengths. I'm always trying to learn more about this art form. You have to keep on learning, keeps the mind active.
