All you need is photoshop and a cell phone

Good luck photographing birds, sports, subjects at night, macro, timelapse. Also using flashes, being technically creative, changing perspective...
The only one I'd care about in that list is night photography, but you can mimic night in photoshop.

>you can mimic night in photoshop
Wow. Why would you take photos at all. You can just mimic shit in photoshop.

>app with timelaps feature

>flashes w/ wlan/blueletooth do exist (notice: phone is slave)

What a pointless and useless thread...
shoot with what you have. If you can't afford a dslr with a high quality lens and all you have is a cellphone, than that is what you shoot with.

Why is it pointless? Maybe I've saved guys money and they're rethinking what photography is. Guys get too caught up in the gear and technicalities, its stupid.

People also threw up when electro music started because drum machines and synths didn't sound real.

Pfffft.

All you need is photoshop and any camera that allows you to shoot manually.*
All I need is to do things I enjoy before I die

>photoshop
youre not making photographs anymore, you're just editing images.
just because you cant properly take a good photograph, use proper framing, use of color and shadow, or understand composition doesnt mean postprocessing your shit photo to hell makes you a photographer

oh you're good

>a photographer
Guess what? The title of "photographer" is NOT protected, unlike real titles like "clinical scientist", "dietician", "social worker", "radiographer", etc.
It simply means the occupation of taking, and often printing, photographs. By occupation, I may mean a job but I may also just mean an activity or task with which occupies oneself.
In other words: Click button. Receive photo. You're a photographer.
Professional photographers are just photographers who know how to market themselves. Nothing more, not anymore.

>adaptive tele-lenses
I've been shooting for a decade: DSLRs (crop and full frame) along with point and shoots and iPhones.
My best photos have never depended on equipment. Most was composition, a little effort, and a lot of luck.

I sold cameras 10 years ago and remember saying "digital is at least 25 years away from film quality".
though phones don't yet compare to cameras with APSc or FF sensors, I would say we are less than a decade away from phones emulating them successfully. that is not to say that the FF sensor of 2025 will not be 650% better than the phone of the time.
But I was wrong once and I could be wrong again

Got the LG v10 the shutter speed goes down to 30 sec.

As if you can tell the difference

Well, all you need to draw a portrait is a stick and a patch of dirt, but that doesn't mean it's fun or convenient, or leads to a good result.
I'm happy to spend a bit of money on a dedicated camera that will reliably give me good results, even in less than optimal conditions.
