I love this video and the concept/rationale of it- I talk about it all the time and reference it all the time.

hi,

I wanted to say excellent work guys, both the video and the shoot.

I know I’m late to the game but recall reading about it last summer.

I recently incurred the wrath of the “gearheads” in dpreview when I had the audacity to suggest that smartphone cameras warrant more attention and it would be very useful to consumers to see them tested and compared with the same test images vs “real” cameras.

OMIGAWD…what a sh*t storm erupted, especially after I linked to your pics as an example of excellent iphone photos. The gear heads actually say they thought the photos were bad..talk about religious prejudice….

Some people are seriously threatened if their toys become irrelevant I gotta say….

keep up the good stuff you guys rock!

Thanks for the fun video Lee. Seems the humor of it all is lost on some and utility of it all is lost on those who lack the imagination.

How about an iPhone 4 shoot?

:-D

I laughed out loud when the off screen gut threw the iPhone at you and you said, dude, this cant even shoot RAW.

I knew right then and there that this was going to be an awesome/funny/cool/informative video and I was right on the money.

Until I saw that video, I’d never heard of your site, but now I’m watching all the videos on your posts and each one of them is magical. And you have no idea how many pal’s I’ve been telling this to.

Thank you for everything, keep up the good work.
You guys rock!

Well, if they did not get it, is because they are not TRUE photographers. Any photograper knows that photography is all about LIGHT. I can’t believe some of the bad comments from other posters. As Vittorio Storaro said “It doesn’t matter if you write it on stone, or film or electronics; what really matters is THE IDEA. Unfurtanelly, these days we have a lot of tech potograpers instead of artist photograpers. They are so focused on the tools that forget the idea. Keep it up, man! Great job!

It’s a good try. Your video is very interesting and fun. I’m agree with the fact everything is about light.

I’m really impatient to see the iPhone shoot in natural light.

I feel like the negative comments were more plentiful than the positive ones, and that’s a shame because so many people appreciated it – myself included. The fact that the video got posted on a few blogs that aren’t photography specific, opened up the gates for everyone with an iPhone thinking you were talking to them.

It’s like me seeing a video of a pitching technique to break that pesky 90mph mark for my fastball. Clearly no tips, or fundamental guidelines for that kind of thing could render me capable of throwing anything faster than I can run.

I however, feel like I’d have the presence of mind to realize that kind of instructional video would never be meant for someone like me (who has no physical ability for anything whatsoever). Therefore, I wouldn’t call bs on something like that.

I kept trying to tell people in all kinds of forums and comment sections (to no avail) who this video was for, and why we understand it. However, the people who don’t play baseball, and don’t make any kind of living off of photography, will often miss the point.

Thank you for doing it. At least you got a ton of hits!

Telling the truth will make you enemies!

Keep on doing it however, not only great fun but a reminder of what photography is all about.

I am an absolute noob in photography, own a really old digital camera that cost about a hundred bucks, I don’t know how to take good pictures and I don’t own an iPhone.

And still I thought the video was great and fun. It demonstrates what’s essential about photography – the skill and knowledge of the photographer. That it is the artist, with his lighting, postprocessing and composition to make pictures that rock. It gives me an insight into how you guys work, and what makes the good photographers so good.

Any artist, or simply anyone with passion for something they create can relate to that. Loved it.

I’m adding this blog to my RSS feed. I like the way you think. :)

I’m really disappointed — there were NO shots of a brick wall! How can I tell the quality of the iPhone lens with NO brick with photos. ;-D

Fun video, keep up the good work!
