[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 615843, member: 13090"] I think for many people, and this includes a lot of people who own DSLR's, photography is about one thing: Having fun. They're not Photographers (capital P) and don't aspire to be. They don't care about White Balance, ISO, bokeh, Depth of Field or any of that; they take snapshots because it's FUN and just as soon as it stops being fun, they'll stop taking snapshots. They don't care about improving because they don't care enough about the photos they take. It's about the fun of taking them, in the moment, and sharing them in that same moment. As [USER=42081]@Bikerbrent[/USER] points out: [I]"Then how else do you explain why so many people are abandoning all forms of dedicated cameras to shoot exclusively with their smartphones or tablets? Even with full manual and f1.8, I can't blur the background on a closeup shot of a flower on my wife's LG G4. [B]These people are obviously satisfied with the snapshots they take.[/B]"[/I] Bingo! It's all about the fun factor and phones combine both aspects: easy snapshots and easy access to social media. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
