Do Smartphones Make Everyone Feel Like an Amateur Photographer?

[Anonymous]

How often do you take photos of nature? Here's mine on a walk after the rain earlier today, featuring rainbows 🌈 courtesy of God and the Saviour. Lol 🍇🌈😋🫡

Look at those gum trees 🌴 🌲 this ain't California, sun 🌞😎, son lol

Yes everyone thinks they're a pro nowadays 📸 sigh 😔

No, not everyone thinks they're a photographer nowadays

Amateurs - purely amateurs only LOL

Many people have approached me asking if I was a professional photographer yet all my photographs are taken with an android smartphone.

[Asker]

Mine was an android above today too 😋😋😈

[Asker]

@abbycado If i may just tag the once - please be proud of my photography skills lol I just held and tapped clicked and hooray, photo lol 🤳 📱 so much effort 😅

[Asker]

@thegreenyogi Androids are Forever 😌☺️ lol 💎 not diamonds

[Abbycado]

Yeah, good pics. I don't think I have used a normal camera in my life. Always used a phone.

[Asker]

@abbycado bless you bless 🙏 enjoy your day/week. Do enjoy Easter, as will I 🐰 🍫 it's always such a happy time of year. Enjoy your studies meanwhile 📚📖 and your time off inbetween. Don't be a stranger now 😅 *tips top hat* 🎩*waves 👋

Thinking I'm a pro 🫪

It definitely ruins the images, those stupid iPhone cameras. Like, back then you could snap shots like a cinematographer, playing with light and shadows. Nowadays everybody posts Instagram like its their LinkedIn dumpster : detailed selfie, background blurred out, background is always buildings and trees and the wicked smile that says "I'm doing better than my peers" Nauseating

[Asker]

On the plus side @fonduegirl - 😄 they *are* doing better than their peers, aren't they? 🥲

[fonduegirl]

Better job at ruining their humanistic values? Yes!

[AviatorTom]

I was an amateur photographer long before smart phones existed. I used film cameras first and then electronic cameras. Smart phones just make it easier to take lots of pictures of the same subject or scene, then discard the ones you don't want.

[Starlux]

Just makes it easier to take pictures in the moment. I wouldn't say it's all too crazy. There are definitely more editing features, like gaming night shots. Even then the pictures don't come out how you expect.

[Massageman]

Amateur photographers? yes. Professional photographers? no.

[Jeff51]

Yes. Cells do make good pictures.

[Asker]

Thank you, that they do. It's the world we inhabit now - especially everyone racing to smartphones during the Pandemic - how else to use delivery order apps or to function in the world without a smartphone 🥳📱🤳 a must have

[Jeff51]

Its kinda to bad how we must have this and that.

[queenofcardio]

I'm always taking pictures in nature

[Anonymous]

Not me, I don't like smartphones.

[Asker]

Still using a dumb phone? I love the dumb phone - long may it continue to be sold alongside the 4G/5G/6G smartphones

[Opinion Owner]

Exactly, the dumber = The better ;)

[MrChinaski]

Amateur pornographer? Perhaps.
