I always take my digital camera with me when I go photographing cars,
lighthouses, etc. If I have to use the phone camera, I always make sure to
take 2 or 3 pictures of the subject so that I am more likely to get one
that is good. Unless I goof, I usually don't have that problem with the
camera, even though it is ~ 20 years old, only 4 MP, and would not have
been "serious photographer" equipment even back then. :)
