RE: Project 365 // Third week in pictures (3/52)
All pretty good shots man ! My favorite one #17. It seems sooo professional.

The difference a real camera makes against a mobile phone photo right next to it.
But yes, I do tend to think of #17 as an actual professional quality photo. Mainly because I had already planned the framing and lighting in advance. While it didn't take long for me to do the actual shoot (because I had two hungry boys waiting for their food), the idea how I should take it was already cooked, and I swiftly followed it through.
The trout photo, not so much. I had just my cellphone and the lighting was awful. Not much I could have done there. ;) (Oh and the best part was, the thought of taking the photograph occurred only after I had already eaten almost half the fish. The eaten part is hidden beneath the skin.)
Ahh that explains the superb quality. Yeah those 2 photos are different like day and night. Real cameras will always provide much better shots than phones, especially if everything is planned ahead.
Yep, not to mention the fixed focal length vs. variable lenses thing. Not everything can be super wide, it just isn't feasible. That's where a real camera wins the quality contest hands down. Also, sensor size is an issue, because the miniature sensor in those mobile devices introduces so much crap into the picture it is usually awful even if the lighting is done right.
(Fixed super-wide + tiny sensor = no no on so many levels...)
I'm planning to buy a real camera in the future because I'm not happy with the phone camera. I want to take better quality shots when I go out into the nature.
Once you do, I suggest you check out Jared Polin (The Fro Knows Photo guy) on YouTube, and his video howtos on Getting out of Auto, and how to understand manual photography. I learned a lot by watching this guy's videos. (I personally binge watched them pretty hard when I first found his channel.)
I will definitely bookmark this channel and subscribe to it! Lot's of valuable information here. Thanks for that :)
I had a great photography teacher at my school. Before meeting him I was never into photography at all but he showed me the awesome point of view towards photography and I was hooked instantly.
I had a similar experience when I was in my artisan studies. We had a photography course, and the teacher pretty much got me hooked. :)
Haha it could take just one lesson to attain a new hobby or passion for life :)
