What would you rather spend a free Saturday doing on a budget

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Photography feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 4 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Only with help got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. That is where the boring checklist helps.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result.

I picked Yes, definitely, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Only with help. It seems like the practical answer. The surprising part is easy to underestimate.
