Funny, I was just comparing two photos from some holiday snaps I have taken. One on a Google pixel phone and another on an old 100mm lens produced in the late 70s paired with a DSLR. The differences are stark, and remind me that focal length, dynamic range, shutter/aperture settings all have big impacts on how the final image turns out. Particularly important is how dynamic range and tones of the scene are translated to the recorded medium, as decisions always need to be made with a focus on specific tones. HDR goes some way to help with this these days, but artistic decision-making is still a thing. [1] https://photos.app.goo.gl/aeCJPnp5BSZ9aBxT6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/aeCJPnp5BSZ9aBxT6
