There's a saying that
everyone can use every smartphone and make good or excellent and interesting pictures.
That's typical example making from people idiots.
Nothing is far from the truth than the stupid saying. If not idiotic it says only half truth.
To use smartphone and make something unique one has to learn photography/photographing. Basics at least. Those much vaunted images, which I could watch on Youtube videos, were always made by professionals, semi-professionals or advanced photographers. And only this direction may bring fruits. Not the other way!
I've spent years clicking
Canon PowerShot A590 IS and
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80, both 8 MP cameras. I made and still make a lot of errors using them. The worst thing came when loaded with fresh knowledge about cameras, lenses and photo tips and tricks, gained here among many sources, I tried to apply the
photographic know-how to my so called "toy" cameras.
Digression: They are rather toy family cameras, not toys only. But you have to know what to do with it and don't and how. Photographic sensibility would be a very good asset.
The results were tragic and horrible. I was fully lost, no image was good.
You cannot shoot using compact aka toy camera thinking in DLSR categories!
Thanks God I came to senses quickly and you can cherish your eyes with such snaps like that one below.
I hope so, you'll be glad.
See
A Study in Pink album (three images - original, corrected and diminished corrected). You'll quickly find out which is which, you are
Pentaxians, in the end!
This time I've taken advantage of older images, made few months ago and corrected in those times. So, no GIMP data.
Cheers!
