I'll second this notion, in part.
It was a revelation that the warm colors and soft morning light I'd seen in National Geographic images of Africa as a child were real. In Ghana during the Harmattan, every morning and evening just look like that; it is incredibly beautiful. With that knowledge, I'm prepared to believe that other places in Africa might be similar.
The iPhone 13 review primarily made me want to go travel.
Technically, I still prefer the output from more-traditional imaging systems. The ergonomics of phone-cameras don't yet work for me, either.
What I was struck by from the article, though, was that the iPhone images were good-enough to be publishable from a photojournalism context. As these imaging systems are generally incremental improvements, that means the camera in your pocket right now can do it, too.
Find interesting subjects in compelling light, frame them in a way that says something you wish to convey or remember, and push the button. f/8 and be there.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoFor ergonomics, I use the volume button as the shutter, not the on screen dot:)
- brundolf 5y agoI didn't know you could do that!
- jader201 5y agoFor some reason, I’ve never adjusted to using it. Anytime I try, I either lock my phone (by also hitting the lock button), or it’s off center and/or blurry due to the additional pressure required to hit the volume button (they require considerably more force than a typical shutter button on a camera, especially with some cases). So I just stick to using the onscreen dot (which, as you all have said, has other ergonomic issues).
- wizardofaz 5y agoTotally agreed. It always adds shutter shock to my photos
