What happens:
I take a photo and the controls disappear

What should happen:
Either: Save files directly to ~/, or re-create ~/Pictures, or store files in Camera App's "Data folder", or give me some sort of error message and fail gently.

Steps to reproduce:
(Always)
1. Delete ~/Pictures
2. Take photo

Logged error when taking photo:
QCameraImageCapture error: "Won't be able to save file /home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera to disk"
Capture failed for request 1: Won't be able to save file /home/phablet/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera to disk
