Barbara Cameron Pix is a travel and food photography blog, and this post is its argument for leaving the rest of the bag at home. Barbara Cameron travelled Portugal, the Azores and England carrying a single Fujifilm 35mm f1.4 R instead of her usual multi-lens setup, then wrote up what that constraint actually did to her pictures.

What makes it worth catalog space is that it reads as a trip report rather than a listicle. The post is illustrated throughout with her own frames from those trips, so you can judge the 35mm field of view against real coastline, streets and food instead of a spec sheet. She is also direct about where one lens stops being liberating: you compose with your feet, and there are shots (distant wildlife, cramped interiors) you simply give up.

It suits you if you are packing for a trip and wondering whether the second and third lens earn their weight, or if you are curious how a prime behaves as a full-time lens rather than a specialist one. It is less useful if you want technical lens testing. There are no charts and no sharpness comparisons, and the reasoning is tied to her Fujifilm body, so working out the equivalent focal length on your own system is left to you.
