Bingo! You say no Facebook, but where do you think the Star Trek memes you post in the joke thread come from? Another forum. And where did they get them from? |

Just a quick bump to say that this week's AP is all about smartphone photography. Once again I am forced to consider if my subscription is worth the cost. However, somebody managed to sneak a few images taken with real cameras past the editorial team, so there is a small sign of hope. More seriously, how many of the target audience for this issue are the type of person who would ever consider paying for AP in any form? If the smartphone manufacturers believed that such people would buy AP they might try advertising in it. My father spent over 30 years in newspaper advertising, and told me that the best way to work out what the readership 'profile' was to look at the advertisements in the publication. For example, my wife occasionally succumbs to some very upmarket gardening porn, and I notice the advertisements for very expensive 4x4s that have little possible use in a garden, but are perfect for running down a dog or a child and not feeling the impact. |

"Real" cameras take wet plates and must be used on a tripod.

I'm still not sure that it was a good idea to pass up the sale prices on the mi site for the 14 Ultra and photo kit. But I do have some big expenses coming in so maybe, dunno.

this bit is copy and pasted from this weekâs issue of and I found the whole article very poignant and informative as to how phones have become an integral part of 21st century life, when Brendan O SĂ© talks about âSense of communityâ it almost brings tears to my eyes Sense of community Brendan O SĂ© is a photographer educator from Cork, Ireland, with over 25 years of experience working in third-level education. Heâs also a multi-award-winning mobile phone photographer â including first place Photographer of the Year in the 10th iPhone Photography Awards, first in the 2016 Street Photography category in the annual Mobile Photography Awards, and 2015 winner at the Mira Mobile Photography Prize. He was part of the original 2015 Apple World Gallery of images shot on iPhone 6. O SĂ© pinpoints the moment the mobile enveloped his craft. âIn 2012 I went on a family holiday to Asia and it coincided with my brother being seriously sick at home. The way that I was able to connect with him was each day, sending him photographs using the phone. I was shooting lots of photos and just loved the whole process, the ease of it, and then kind of fell in with the community on Flickr and other places where there were very active photographers embracing smartphone photography. It really got me on an accelerated path photographically.â The meaning of imag The meaning of images O SĂ© embraced the jumps in innovation of the pre-iPhone 7 era and the aberrations, blur and abstracts he produced. âIt doesnât matter what the image-capture device, a good photograph is a good photograph. Photographs that people treasure can be tattered and torn and discoloured but they mean everything.â The in-your-pocket accessibility catapulted O SĂ© from passive observer to active seeker. Over 15 weekends in 2018, he used his smartphone to capture what hurling means to Irish people through the relationships among fans that form around Irelandâs unique game Thanks for posting that snippet don I like the sound of this guy. |

Even on the old forum you often mentioned cancelling your subscription. Why donât you just do it if youâre not happy? But I get the impression that you are never that happy about anything. |

You say âReal Cameras â as if a camera phone is in some way inferior. To my mind the best camera is the one you have in your hand. Phones take more images daily and are connected with todayâs technology. It is estimated 97% of under thirty year olds own a smartphone, a figure âReal cameraâ manufacturers could only ever dream of. |

Incidentally, the English large format camera company Intrepid is developing a new electronically controlled shutter mechanism. Smaller sizes first, Copal 0 and 1 I think, with larger sizes a possibility in the future. Seems to be a massive shortage of functioning LF shutters these days, so it's a suitably modern solution which the bits of large format internet/social media I frequent are very excited about. |

"In photography, shutter lag is the delay between triggering the shutter and when the photograph is actually recorded."

Exemplary use of a dictionary. But it is irrelevant as it could be the latest greatest digital sensor or a Daguerreotype behind the shutter. |

Well said đâ! I wrote a reply to the post about cancelling his subscription but decided to delete it for fear of it being regarded as rude. I personally have enjoyed this weekâs AP and itâs inclusion of Smartphones in a magazine that many people seem to think can only report on what they consider âworthy camerasâ and anything else isnât noteworthy. |
