Sometimes I post random snapshots straight from my iPhone, and it's usually something fast I want to share on to go, or I'm too lazy to set up my real camera. The point of those pictures is not to be amazing pictures, but to share a little something fast. But I always get comments "omg these are so good, you are such a great photographer!", and I facepalm and wonder if you guys are blind if you think phone shots are as good as the ones I take with my Nikon.
Yesterday morning I took a few shots and decided to take a few comparison shots with my iPhone 7 plus, which supposedly has a very good camera. Obviously these are not exactly the same pictures, because getting the angle and same pose is quite difficult, but you get the point.
iPhone is alright for when you have good, even lighting, nice scenery or something like that, but when you have a higher contrast between the different areas in the image, that is where the iPhone camera fails. I always shoot in RAW format on my DLSR, so I can easily even out the parts on the image that might be blown out of too black.
Can you spot the difference!?
@Escapist is here with me and trying to help me get this out faster: " Just write: The other pictures are shit, and the other ones are not. Acknowledge the difference, thanks bye!"
Isn't she helpful!?
