I go everyday with a "concealed carry" compact digital, good for everyday stuff if close enought. This camera and lack of other baggage opens few doors. Yet, some shots I have not taken simply from personal judgment of "conscience" and usefullness of the image. Has personal conscience(ethical ideas) led to or stopped any of you from tasking a shot? Does it depend on the length of the lens? I find no financial gain in my images, at least not yet, so that is not a factor in what to shoot. As an artist in metals, my sense of artistry and value overrides some other motives. Sure, fun is fun. Tasteless is tasteless. Beautiful and useful is.... So far, my skill in imaging is not near the level as in my occupation. Have you found yourself "drawing the line" on when to shoot or not? Blessings. TomDart.
