I love holding cameras and pushing the button that takes the picture. They can be expensive but cheap crappy ones are also really fun. Obviously you can just take photos on your phone BUT when you take photos with a real camera it feels like you are holding a gun and shooting it. You can aim at anything or anyone and just shoot it like a gun all day and it’s not a problem. Unfortunately many of the people who really like and care about cameras are disgusting.
Mine is the Canon Powershot SX620 HS. i am finding it increasingly difficult to track down on FB marketplace/craigslist (my first one suffered an unfortunate end) but worth the $150-200 if you can find one.
At any given moment I am a steady elbow and 40x zoom away from the moon's majesty. this camera has a 2011 version of airdrop which allows me to drop pics from the cam to my phone without a cable and without WiFi/cell service. The battery lasts me a months worth of moon pics.
I cannot recommend this enough
The best map projection for my money. Shows the continents (mostly) uninterrupted, doesn’t distort area or shape too badly, completely useless for navigation, looks beautiful. What’s your favorite map projection?
