Weekly Photo Challenge No. 397 - Holiday Season

Here's one straight 'out of the box' (what box, you ask? yeck if I know)

Same lobby - but this was photo 5 of the tree. Helps if you compose it better.

I have not mastered my iPhone. The camera is good enough that I’ve given up carrying my p&s. (Never really had a “good” camera, that is why I’m satisfied with a phone camera.) However, I’m not good aiming that camera phone. Or holding it steady. And I’m still getting my fingers in the photos. My plan, before I gave in to the phone, was to get a decent p&s with a viewfinder because I do better then. However, convenience is now trumping quality.

My needs are different than most. I need a camera that takes photos that will work on scrapbook layouts. I can get away with lesser quality.

I know, I know - much much more info than you needed.

All that being said, it is better to have a longer shot so there is more to work with - just like you suggested.
