Paul, if Ansel Adams were alive today he would have mastered photoshop and applied it to his images with the same insight and skill that he used darkroom techniques to produce his images.

Amazon has one for about $20 bucks. 67 inches tall (plus ball head if you add one).

Leave it all at home, take your phone and “splurge” on a small pocket camera with a fast zoom lens. I like the Panasonic lx and fs series but every manufacturer has something similar. Canon’s G5xmkii is another example. I swapped my 5d stuff for the small Rebel with new lenses then went smaller still on next trip. I’m happy, my wife is very happy and the images are fine.
Navy 1970-1969 left as O-3 with an 18 month old son I’d seen for two months.
The A1 is a great camera (vintage late ‘70’s). Also the Canon FD lenses were among the best of the lot (still terrific with an adapter on mirrorless and preferred by some filmmakers still). It can accommodate brainless shooting in full auto to “real” photography in full manual with two other options in between. The limited media length makes you think and plan your shots and some feel that’s closer to a photographet’s nirvannah. Works well with whatever you feel like shooting. Enjoy!
Good to clip to bicycle frames so the spokes would make ‘motorcycle’ noises
How about a group of guys playing baseball with no adult supervision until dusk, then talking anxious parents who came looking to park around the field with headlights on so we could finish the game.
Unless you have a medical affliction, today’s digital cameras generally don’t need a tripod. Besides, many of the low light situations (think cathedrals, museums etc) won’t let you use them. Up your shutter speed, use a higher iso, brace you elbows or place the camera on a solid surface and usd s remote release. Enjoy your trip!
The only thing that matters is the final image. How the artist gets there is a matter of artistic choice. The tools are changing, improving, and becoming more available. I can pound with a hammer or use a nail gun. Whichever choice I make, in the end the project is finished.
I always “bring” a camera if I want to “take” a photo.
Not sure what it was you said or did but evidently you’ve stood in the corner long enough. Unlike the thought nazis at the leica forum who banish you permanently if you don’t conform to their stupid DEI mindset, UHH seems pretty well run.
