New phone pics

[OoohShiny]

For a phone, they really are amazing quality shots - even a DSLR would struggle to get everything in focus.

It's a bit annoying for photographers with 'pro' kit - why would anyone spend good money on 'professional' photos when their phone does so well?!

Ahh! I LOVE this stack combination!

Thanks @Bonfire, my bsb ( best stackin buddy, lol). I am sending the bailey to caysie tomorrow to be upgraded to a full eternity! It is my favorite band and I think I will love it even more when the spinning isn't an issue!

The “engaged” photo was taken with his Samsung. The “Married” photo was taken with my iPhone:

I seriously can’t tell the difference....

The iphone turned your nails green

I agree to a certain extent about the phone vs DSLR comparison. My first entry into the "actual camera" world was a Sony RX100 II, a camera with a giant 1" sensor jammed into a compact-sized frame. At the time (2013) it blew my iPhone 4 camera out of the water. There was simply no comparison.

Fast forward to today, and the phone cameras have become so advanced that I really cannot tell the difference to my amateur eyes with amateur photography skills. I have a Moto Z Play, which, at a cost of $300, takes absolutely beautiful photos that are comparable to my Sony RX100 II in good lighting. And my fiancé has an iPhone X which outdoes the Sony RX100 in every scenario (including low light). Yes, the iPhone X is $1k, but a good pro-level compact (like the RX100) or mirrorless body will run you that much anyway, so why would you spend the money on something that can only take photos when you can have something that takes photos plus serves as a mini personal computer? Plus, the best camera is the one you have with you, and most of us always have our phones in our pockets ready for whatever photo opp presents itself.

But I don't agree that phone photos can really compare to a full-frame DSLR in the hands of a professional who knows how to use it, so I do think that there is still a place for actual cameras at the truly professional level. Despite the advancements in phone camera technology, they are still limited by the tiny sensor and lens aperture sizes. So there are still things that a full-frame camera with pro-level glass can do that a phone will never be able to replicate. Is spending the money on a $6k full-frame camera and a multitude of $2-3k lens worth it for the average amateur photographer? No. A phone will suffice in 99% of situations I believe.

But personally, I would not want someone shooting my wedding and reception with an iPhone or Galaxy. So there will always be a place for DSLRs among the professionals who know how to use them and actually get paid for their photos.

I do hear you Perhaps I'm just reflecting my own lack of confidence and failure to start my own photography business because I always think that people are just being insincere and too kind about my photos!

First sunlight pics! Some of them aren't centered because I had to crop out the shadow that the camera made.

LOVE these photos. TFS!! Now I may need to order the Bailey...

Hi ceg, stunningly gorgeous stone & ring!! I've had about 5 J's over the years but none that seemed as white as yours.

I'm helping a friend with a stone now from WF & I'd l like to ask you some questions if that's ok? If so, you can contact me through my LT listing. My info is at the very bottom of the listing.
Thank you.. Judy

@MissGotRocks here is a face on. I've never seen the arrows this well in my other photos. I don't know how/why it blurs the background??? This is fun- can't wait til the sun comes out! Too bad it doesn't blur out the wrinkles in my hands, lol!

Ceg! It looks like you collect the same jars that I do. Do you have pictures of those???

I have collected these vanity jars since I was in high school (a long time ago!!!). I have so many that I have started giving some to my daughters for them to start a collection. I will get pics later! Please take pics of yours too!

Here are a few pics of the majority of my jar collection. I try to only buy jars with sterling lids and American Brilliant cut glass. Love these!
