Taffy and I braved the cold and went to do some photography along the lake. I took a pano with my Canon, but the iPhone one turned out pretty good right out of the phone! Sigh. So much for all the heavy camera stuff we carry around.
Fabulous pano Junko!! Both images are great but the iPhone definitely the better one. Yes why do we have all that heavy equipment? I had a shot on TT a couple of weeks ago and it was an iPhone image. I am thinking seriously about my heavy camera and lenses!!
Don't be so quick to dismiss the value of that heavier equipment. "Better" is a somewhat subjective thing. The whole point of a pano is to achieve much higher resolution than could be achieved with a crop of a single wide shot - something that cannot be assessed from the less-than-screen-res images shown here in the 365 project. If all you need is a photo for a website, then iPhones would do for a great many things that we might otherwise demand better resolution and quality for.
To follow the logic of that point through, then a crop of a single photo would probably look better than a pano from any device if all that was needed was screen resolution.
As @mwerner Says, there will be a huge difference in image quality, but the fact that one can take everyday shots with a mobile phone, and get great results has often made me think about the thousands I've spent on cameras and lenses. Good shot BTW.
Superb on both counts -- I'm guessing for enlarging, only the Canon version would work. But for everyday uses, it's incredible how the iPhone makes our big cameras unnecessary!
I've been starting to wonder how long before phone cameras replace 'real' cameras for most people. They're getting better and better. @taffy is right about enlarging, of course, but how many of our shots do we actually enlarge. Mmmm, food for much thought.
Lovely panorama, only the bit of snow (I think it's snow) gives away how cold it is.
Quite amazing how good the images are from phones these days! It's a bit of a secret but one of my best selling images is a phone pic ;)
Hey, gorgeous! Hope you're doing okay. Aware you've just marked a year since the passing of your darling Bill and you've been on my mind. Sending you heaps of love today from my corner of England. On this first day of Spring, may hope and peace be renewed for you. Every good and kind wish to you. Love Casa xx
@casablanca -- You are SO sweet to remember, and to check in on me. I've really had a horrible month, but I feel you have invited me back into the community. Thank you.
