Settle a friendly Photography debate that actually stuck

I tried this in Melbourne with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

Surprised more people aren't choosing Maybe later. It seems like the practical answer. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

@hugo-38 Yep, the boring details matter.

I picked Only with help, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about stuck. I noticed the same thing in Madrid.
