The cameras in iPhones, in fact most smartphones today, are starting to match the capabilities of small compact cameras.
Smartphones are absorbing an increasing amount of traditional camera technology.
Images taken on 'phone cameras' are now simply called photography.
I'm a self-taught, DBS approved, iPhone (well, Apple everything really) 66 year old, young photographer.
So, when Apple started making outstanding cameras, which happened to make phone calls, I began to get more interested in photography.
My holiday and general photos started to get a great deal better.
‘Snaps’ no longer became 'good enough'. I started to give more thought to each capture. So, after 1,000s of photographs taken on my iPhone, and a massive number of shockingly poor images, I started to learn a few little tricks and my 'photography knowledge’ increased in leaps and bounds.
My photos started to look better. People started to ask me how I achieved a certain look, or how I edited a part of the image, or why I took it from a certain angle.
And this ridiculously compelling and sometimes infuriating hobby became something so much more ...........
I have been published (a 6 page spread) in The Black and White Photography magazine (issue 263) and I also publish and print a 'Zine twice a year with Black and White images of my home town (Marlborough, Wiltshire, UK) and its surrounding area.
