AI photography is amazing to me. Currently some photography can be achieved on my iPhone 12 Pro Max that cannot be done with my latest Nikon. This image is an example. It was a dark night, and there was a steady breeze moving the trees somewhat. I first tried this shot with the Nikon Z72 camera mounted on a tripod, but regardless of the settings I tried I could not capture what I was seeing. Out of frustration, I hand held my iPhone up and snapped. The iPhone automatically went into “night mode” and bingo! How ‘bout that. It’s even a raw file that I can send to anywhere in the world immediately. My consideration of the ubiquitous iPhone as a “real” camera has gradually come about in the last couple of versions I have owned. I have come to trust it in certain circumstances when or where a more substantial digital camera is not well suited or available. The real proof came when I was able to make a good quality 17×22 print from a late model iPhone file. Amazing
