It doesn’t take a lot for me to say sorry tbh; I don’t have a huge wall of ego, and I like to apologise when I’m wrong. I’ve been wrong a lot in my life, but saying sorry isn’t hard, it’s freeing. :) |

In fact the most important bit of photography are the lenses and the post production workflow. Everything else is moot. --- End quote --- Don't forget compromised sensors and image processing aimed at consumer cattle whose discerning abilities are limited to whining about noise... Who painted grey camo patterns on this steel? :P |

Ah yes that’s one reason I bought a mirrorless recently. The processing on the smartphones is quite destructive. Some of that is actually the finish of the metalwork though and some of it is the low quality jpeg I exported but the phone is doing some weird stuff. But quite frankly the image is a pretty good approximation of reality and that’s what matters to most people. I mean if you consider bokeh and grain doesn’t really exist it puts things into perspective. Compromises everywhere and that’s part of the art. |

The "camo" effect is overdone noise reduction. It sees small, low-contrast, pseudo-random details like steel texture, distorted reflection of tree branches, clouds or whatever was there and replaces it with a patch of average color. Once you realize what it is, you will start seeing it everywhere and always recognize phone images from those taken with dedicated cameras. JPEG artifacts are overrated. Lots of people talk about them, much fewer appear to have actually tried saving some images at shit JPEG quality level and seeing how much shit it takes to really become shit. |
