Does Pixel Of The DC Stand For Anything? -Talking About The 3m-Pixels-Iphone

Posted by LEON on Nov 17, 2009 in Leon's Photography Works | 1 comment

Well, I’m gonna clarify a question which is very universal in the world of photographia – Does the pixel of our digital camera is the queen of everything? As everyone acknowledged, major amateurs, even some pros concentrate much energy on their camera kinda like the pixels, the lens. This sense of uncertainty are being more and more controversial. I’m there trying to work things out with some picture as usual.

There is some photo from iphone, and of course the girl in here is my bride Amy.

Actually all the user of app iphone already knew this babe. No wonder iphone is the most omnipotent PDA over the world, well, is predicated on its overpriced charge. however, since the advent of iphone, it’s considered there is a huge bug on its photograph function – only 3millions pixels. Compare with others digital products at same price blow, we could know.

Sony Ericsson Satio: 12,000,000 pels
Samsung i8910 Omnia HD: 8,000,000 pels
Nokia N86 8MP: 8,000,000 pels

In the world of technology where moves at such a fast pace, hi-pels digital camera is ubiquitous arrounding us. Even some mini DC already beyond the millions pels, no mention the pro DC, even 120 frame camera. We can see iphone is totally incapable this part.

Anyhow, are you sure your upper-millions-pels camera’s performance is greater than mine? I knew, someone gonna stand out and lay the dogma on me again about vagueness or exposure. well, whatever you said, I’m still mesmerized by them and could not take my eye on them. It’s the same impression of you, am i right?

Well, this is the point. what is the most important thing of a good photo? the exposure, the contrast, or the details? well, i hate them, i physically hate the limitation as same as the examination. Be honest, sometime i even prefer the vague photo which give us more room to imagine, to think, to dig…

As i told to my students, the best photo is the one you truely like.

Pretty simple, yeah? Actually it is. Just like the father of apple- Steve Jobs constantly told us, follow your heart. Yes, FOLLOW YOUR HEART. Please let the defination go, and try to figure what is your origin. i have faith, the inside will put you in an amazing world you had never been. furthermore, We dont need science or language at all.

Turn back, have you reviewed your works before. if not, try it, with your heart but not eye. go through them again, feeling your heartbeats with palm and ask yourself again,

Is the composition important?
Is the colour important?
Is the pixels important?
Is the lens important?
Is the aberrance important?
Is the detail important?
Is the contrast important?
Is the exposure important?
Is the accuracy important?

Whatever you insist, eventually, you gonna figure out, the best photo is just the one touch your inside.

This the advice i sharing with all of you:

FOLLOW YOUR HEART.
