Hey @marblely, thanks for reading, I'm glad you found it useful. Totally appreciate your thoughts on smartphone vs dedicated camera. Smartphone technology is improving at such a rate that they are really catching up. For now, I think camera tech still has a significant edge on what manufacturers can cram into the tiny cameras on our phones, but it's really interesting to see how companies like Apple are using software to bridge the gap - for example, their portrait mode on the newer iPhones mimics in software what we've been doing using expensive lenses for years!
Maybe some food for thought...I find there are so many reasons for us to be using computers and phones these days that it feels like life gets lived through a phone screen. I think it's nice to have a dedicated camera so that I don't have the distraction of notifications, chat messages, instagram likes etc popping up, and it means we can be that bit more connected with whatever we are photographing. Obviously the trade-off here is that we have to carry something extra, but for me I think it's still worth it. For the time being :)
