Man, I had the same thing happen. Switched to just my phone last trip and caught so many more spontaneous moments. Didn't have to fuss with lenses or settings, just pointed and shot. Photos felt more real, less staged.

Tell me about it, my lemon meringue turned into a sad puddle last Fourth of July! Gonna try that cornstarch trick from @scott.claire for sure.

Actually @hayes.sandra, sometimes leaving it open gives better results in my experience. The whole sealing thing gets blown out of proportion.
