[QUOTE="Tigger, post: 5349, member: 519"] I think it depends on how you answer the question of what is photography? Is it someone taking photos of their friends, food on a plate for Facebook, selfies for Instagram or photos of their children to share with family and friends on WhatsApp. Or, for example, is photography getting up in the middle of the night to visit somewhere you have planned a shot for the sun to emerge in a certain place, that will be visible at a certain angle or emerging through or over a certain bit of the landscape. Where you select the appropriate lens for the desired focal length and depth of field in order to capture what you are seeing in your minds eye. Both these scenarios, although at opposite ends of the spectrum, can be regarded as photography. I think that camera phones will become the dominant medium for photography and will, in the near future or even now, be more than capable of performing the second option. Phone cameras are becoming increasingly powerful. The dynamic range for colour and light will only get better and taking photos of whatever subject with a mobile will become technically easier in the future. As such, in my opinion, photography with specialise dslr/mirrorless or whatever, will become increasingly niche but there will still be a fairly large community, almost as film photography has become a niche within the niche! I use a Nikon D850. I enjoy the process of planning, setting up and taking a picture. I believe that what I consider to be photography will continue for a long time yet. [/QUOTE]
