Have you ever run into the problem where you see the perfect opportunity for a picture but you don’t have your camera with you? Well it happens to a lot of people I’m afraid. You can avoid having this problem simply by bringing your camera with you everywhere you go. Now if your camera is too big to carry around with you all day, then you will want to purchase a small disposable camera. You will be glad that you did it one day, if you’re not already regretting not doing it yesterday.

Too many times have I seen posts on forums where people are saying they missed the perfect picture. Everyone has heard of the rule a million times and yet some photographers still don’t carry a camera with them. Now I’m not saying you need to take it with you at all times, unless your a professional photographer because then you never now when that next shot will come into your head as your walking by something. If you feel the need to not bring your camera out with you, then you should at least bring a little notepad and pen so that you can write down the areas you would like to take pictures at later. This is a very useful tactic for beginner photographers who won’t be able to remember where they seen great ideas. Even a lot of professionals carry around a notepad just in case something comes to mind.

You just never know when your next brilliant idea will pop into your head, so this is why I stress that its so important for you to bring a camera everywhere. There are millions of ways things can intrigue you and you’ll wish you had your camera to be able to capture it. With the size of digital cameras now its very easy to have your camera hidden away until the opportunity arises for a photo. This leaves photographers with know excuse for not having a camera.
