I used to use dedicated camera for photos and videos but after kids I have switched to phone cameras.
Initially, it was pain to use phone for photos or videos. Especially, the lag of unlocking phone, finding the right icon to click on and the waiting for the camera app to load.
But I record tons of boring moments, like kids eating, napping etc. It wasn’t deliberate practice, just something I enjoyed. I think this helped me get faster with phone camera. Now I am able to capture spontaneous moments pretty often. Also be able to capture them without looking at the phone.
But there is no way for me to be part of moments and also capture it myself. Usually, if I’m engaged with kids, then my wife captures the moment and vice versa.
