2.05 - "Needs Work" 

I used the portrait mode on my iPhone 11 Pro to take portraits of each person in our family for our Christmas card, then just stitched them together. People kept asking who I had take our photos, and they were surprised when I told them it was just on the iPhone.

"it was just on the iPhone"

Do you know how many people are killer photographers with just an iPhone? Ok it may not be a huge pool of people, but a respectable number. An iPhone is no different that any other camera; it's merely a tool. Understand it's limitations and uses, and you can do great things. How many terrible pictures are taken by people with to of the line cameras? A Leica does not guarantee a good picture any more than an iPhone a bad picture.

An iPhone is just a fairly wide angle, high depth of field camera (mostly). Light is what matters in photography. The camera is just tool to shape and capture it.
