New Phone Photo comparison.
That’s it really, so If you don’t want to read my long-winded thoughts, please stop reading now and go party👍Or if you’re bored, a little bit geeky or something here's my thoughts today.
A photog mate recently told me how great this new phone camera is, my phone broke so I got one. The brand and model doesn’t matter, it used to be 'is digital better than film?' now it’s 'are pro cameras as good as phones?' 😂
The phone's camera is Great, but they all are now, so it begs the question do you need a pro photog anymore? nope, you never have done, you need a proper Fenman providing essential food, not just fancy photos, I've always just been a luxury, nothing else.
I see it kinda like this. I cook an alright bolognese, you’re welcome round to try if you’d like 👍 but is it what Gino could cook in my kitchen or especially his own kitchen? no. do we need him? no. we need farmers not a fancy chef, but him cooking for us would still be awesome, the same as any nice restaurant is a lovely treat.
With phones being so amazing now, It got me thinking about what would I get if I take a standard type pic on the phone as it comes out of the box. Then change the phone's settings to what I prefer, turn a bit to the composition I prefer and take the pic, then edit it to what I see not what the camera captures. no filters, just my edit and compare the results.
Here’s what I got.
Is it the best shot I could get from that area? no to do that I’d need to choose the best time, and weather and get into the best spot, I’d be mega fanatical about it, editing this one on the pc would have been better than what I can do on a phone as well. this was just because today I needed Sun, Sea and Fish and Chips, I didnt quite get all of that, but took a few test shots whilst there.
The phone is actually quite nice, it's incredible really, do I need a top of the range camera phone? no, I'll take a pic with anything, just like my old car gets me from A to B the same as a supercar would. but I had to get a new phone anyway so go this one with baring in mind what I do for a living.
Take lots of lovely pics for yourselves ❤️ it’s all about taking a pic that you like or capturing a lovely moment in time. Nothing to do with being a pro, camera brand, megapixels or any other anorak type stuff, it's not even about photo quality, it's about quality time that you capture 👍
Do you need me? No, save your money for essential food and drink. But hopefully I’m still a nice luxury now and then 😎
Do I need a drink? Yes, it's been a long day.
Have a lovely weekend x
