Yes!! Good one, Jane! Love this gallery.

Whatever you use that brings this much joy is all right! :)

Good use of the makeshift tripod.

I just had that conversation at a photography club meeting last night - I'm not in that camp yet.

Great candid with wonderful expression. V

It's great that so many people have easy access to photography, with technology improving all the time - encourages creativity.

Sure are handy, and I am continually impressed by results. Still love to play with light and settings.

It's really about what you're capturing, not so much as what took the picture. I just wish people would learn to not jerk their phones when they're trying to capture images. I've seen so many pictures ruined by camera shake. One of the online photographers I follow used to use the most varied and expensive equipment in his travels. Now he only uses an IPhone.

Excellent portrait Jane. You are right about the good quality of photos by some cell phones.

Sorry, Jane, I was influenced by Helen Betts' comments just above the comment block, and called you by the wrong name - I will try to do better next time!
Lamar Nix18-Apr-2018 00:45
Right you are , Helen! I can see the day coming when smartphone camera will be the go-to camera of choice. Your subject surely seems to be enjoying his experience! V

Great candid.

Same here but your Canon did a great job capturing this "sign of the times" candid. Vote.

I agree, cell phones have come a long way! Nice candid, Jane..

Everyone seems to have one of these things (I don't), and use them as cameras all the time.
Tom Beech17-Apr-2018 19:47
He's plenty pleased with what he sees it seems.. caught him just right.

For sure Jane... I had to add a pbase gallery for my cell phone photos because they started being keepers to me.

The photo quality has come a long way in cell phones and it's nice to always have a camera handy- but there's little chance that I'll be ditching my photo gear any time soon to switch over completely.

image quality from phones has clearly taken giant strides forwards, and of course the pix can easily be shared...his gleeful expression is delightful..
Johnny JAG17-Apr-2018 18:43
Nice that he's not doing a selfie!
Helen Betts17-Apr-2018 17:43
Great capture of this sign of the times. I used to always carry a small camera with me, but now I rely only on my iPhone, which generally takes excellent pictures. It's also nice to see how many people are into taking pictures because of the cell phones! V.
