The picture on the left was also taken with my phone, but did not come out quite so cartoony.
Why was I using a phone at all? Simple logistics. I brought it ashore to take videos, which was much easier than using the big Canon. But because of the restrictions in place now—no kneeling, crouching, or resting bags or any equipment on the ground—I would put my camera away in my backpack before heading back to the zodiacs. (There were big bins on a tarp where we could leave our life jackets when we came ashore, and grab another when leaving, and it was more convenient to wrestle with getting my camera into my backpack and closing it up again if I could rest it on the side of the bin.) So if I saw something I wanted to take a picture of while waiting for the next zodiac, I had to use my phone.
