…is the one you have with you. It’s an old saying but I find it’s very true.

I bought a Canon HDSLR with the idea of using it for video and photography but I’ve ended up concentrating on video because of the beautiful results. This means my go-to picture camera is the one I have with me, my iPhone 3gs.

Some of my favourite pictures recently have been the ones I’ve taken with my phone, like the ones below. The combination of a reasonable quality camera, that’s always in your pocket, with an easy and effective editing app, can’t be beat.

It’s the same for a lot people, most have a ‘good’ camera that sits in a drawer, battery half charged and only ever brought out for special occasions. But it’s our camera phones that are capturing those spontaneous moments, every day, that we weren’t expecting.

It’s shorts like this that make me appreciate how HDSLRs have changed how and who film things today.

This stunning video was shot off the coast of Co. Clare in Ireland, where I spent summers as a kid.

However this is a new view of it all for me as these guys got right into the water, the cliffs and the sea life thanks to the convenience and quality HDSLR video cameras.

There’s a nice sentiment behind the video too…
