    I’m not a photographer but I have a camera and have gotten some pretty cool pics. The first thing on their list is a polarized lens and it’s useful if you’re taking a picture with strong reflections from the sun (and probably some types of lights as well?) but I know it’s useful if you’re trying to capture water and see down into it. I inherited a camera with a bunch of accessories and that has been helpful for a couple pics in the past

    For the sd card see how long it lasts you. They can hold a LOT of pictures, capacity depending

    I hear you about the gripes of the neck strap, if only because when I was a child I ended up the perfect height to be smacked squarely in the forehead by my dad’s lens, which happened quite often

    I am super clumsy though and I often drop things. I don’t wear the camera as a necklace but I do wear the strap when I’m actively using it. Same for binoculars. But I’d really be open to trying something else out. When you say hand strap, is that like something you’d use on a camcorder? That’d feel so much more secure to me than the neck strap

    I love watching videos of canal boats and traversing the country by canals and some of the crazy locks and lifts they go through. Unfortunately I don’t live where that’s a thing but it’s absolutely something I’d love to do. It’s got to be so freeing?

    I visited Disney World in Florida. They’ve got a LOT of water and a boat transportation system that I think could be analogous, and I loved it. Obviously a little different intent between the two but getting directly from point A to point B is so nice versus taking surface roads that go AROUND the water

    Where I live also has a lot of water and I’ve daydreamed so hard about living on a boat. There’s something about having the constraints of minimalism and freedom that is so romantic to me

    (sry for all the words im just feeling chatty)
