On the beach today, I stood near the shore between two photographers. One, standing a few feet away, had a Pentax 645 film camera on a huge tripod. The other had a Nikon Z8. Both spent a lot of time fiddling with their filters and trying to get the right exposure.
While they fiddled, I unwrapped my travel tripod and mounted my iPhone and took about a hundred photos while the sun set. Some are just meh. The tide was going out and there wasn't enough wave action to get good swirls. This came out ok.
