#1315. In defense of the smartphone, again.

By pascaljappy | Opinion

A new perspective on an old question.   Beyond the use as a visual notebook, at which it excels, the smartphone has progressed tremendously to capture more and more of the ‘serious’ photography market.

#1309. A Rose by any other name

By Nancee Rostad | Art & Creativity

Superb performance in appropriate conditions, also. But knowing your pics are being backed-up and organised as you shoot may be the most satisfying of the lot. So much so […]

#789. More Smartphone Fun

By Steve Mallett | Opinion

Pascal’s post #755, “In defence of smartphone photography, again” and more recently Adrian’s  post #786 Am I going Crazy? (Using an inexpensive smartphone), speak of “smartphone fun” and I thought I’d add my two penn’orth. As some of you will know, I belong to a U3A camera group, (University of the Third Age) comprising members of […]
