What lens to take?

Last week I was going to out for a short trip and as I was going with friends, I haven’t planed to take many photos. But as I also knew that I will be at some nice places, I took my camera with me. But than I got to a dilemma, which lens to take. I normally use three lenses, the 16-35, the 24-70 and the 70-200. The 70-200 was of course immediately out, as it a more specific purpose lens. But which one from the other two to take. The 24-70 is a better all around lens, but the 16-35 is much better if I’m in a city and also for interiors. But the 16-35 can be horrible for shots with people (the distortion is really visible if you stand too close)

So in the end I chosen the 16-35, and took most people shots with my phone (Nokia Lumia 1520, it has a really nice camera :)), but I wonder what would you take, or better said, which lens do you take when you only take one with you?

And I included here a shot from the Lumia 1520, just to show how it looks :) I’m actually very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the photos from it.

A lovely blue hour

And how about another photo from my recent photo-shoot at the Neusidler see. This one is taken a little later than the previous one, already during the blue hour. Actually during the whole sunset, there was a ship docket right next to lighthouse, completely in a way of a nice shot. But at least they left right after the sunset, and I got few shots without it :)

This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, finished in Photoshop.
