I was fortunate enough to get up at sunrise to take Zinnia out to the pasture to chase after some balls. She loves our morning ball-retrieval, and I get to see how strong and resilient and well-bred she is.
I also noticed the sunrise coming up behind two of Maria’s quilts, and I ran back into the house to get my iPhone.
I’m visiting an AT&T store this morning to take a look at the new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Professional photographers worldwide are giving up their full-frames (like mine) because of the camera inside.
This phone is expensive, and I’m wary of buying it right now. But I can trade in the one I have for $500, and the monthly payment fees will be quite small with a small cash addition.
This would be a lot cheaper than buying another full-frame camera – $3,000 to $5,000 in a year or sooner. I wear mine out.
Cameras are important to my work, and I want to see what this phone camera can do. If it does what everyone is saying it does, I will have to think about getting it. Photos are such an important of the work I do and my livelihood.
Photos are the images of my life; they complement my words and give them strength and credibility. On the other hand…
My grandmother made me a quilt like the one on the right in the photo you shared. I believe the pattern is called “Flower Garden.” She used materials from dresses that I had worn in my past. It’s special to me.
Don’t even begin to think a phone can ever replace your full frame camera. Professional photographers are not giving up their full frame cameras. Switching to mirrorless yes, for a phone no. I’m not discounting what a phone can do, it’s quite amazing, but with a phone, you can forget about low light work, photographing fast moving subjects and having large files for printing. I couldn’t even dream of doing my work with just a phone. Not in a million years. And how are you wearing out your cameras so quickly? Mine take a beating but they are still fine. For what we pay for them, they better last!
I know lots of pros who are giving up their full frame camera, Dana, including me much of the time..I’ll keep my Canon and keep using it, but I think this camera which I have tried out, does a number of things my Canon cannot do. I’m going to get it.
Let me know when you see a professional photographer shooting a wedding or portrait session with a phone. ? A phone makes a nice addition, but it will not replace.
I’ve done three weddings for friends with my iPhone, and I am a professional photographer. I’m not sure what this argument is about Dana, it feels like a waste of time.Many professional photographers, even filmmakers are using I phones. Some are not. Why do you keep pretending you know what every professional photographer is doing?
Beth, yes, it’s called Grandmother’s Flower Garden,” and it was a popular pattern in the 1930s. It is made of tiny hexagons, usually hand-pieced. Jon, did Maria make it?
What argument? It’s a discussion. I love talking photography. I have no interest in arguing. Of course you should get it if it interests you. It will be discussed in my camera club I’m sure.
Good, let’s move on Dana, thanks.
