Shot on iPhone XR: Real-World Photos and Portraits With Depth Control From New York City

[BvizioN]

Maybe it’s just me, but I always hold my phone in landscape mode when I take a photo or record a video.

A video should always be in landscape mode (and not a fan of the IGTV). As for photography, it all depends what you photographing. Say you wanted to take a portrait or someone, landscape orientation cannot be suitable for that.

800x600?
Seriously?
Even photos of old mobile phones would look nice when reduced to this resolution.
Show us full size.
Otherwise this article makes absolutely no sense.

When I wrote my first article about the mobile camera in 2006 (SonyEricsson K800i), I used the original out of cam photos only.
100% crops are very useful to see the truth.

Most of these look like they were taken by my mother-in-law... They should have sent someone with a talent for, an eye for, good photography, composition. This is why they look so dull. The camera itself seems great, though...

Dunno about the camera, but the shots are as dull as can be indeed. Photographer must have been a vampire, each and every shot is made in the shade.

Have to say, I am still not convinced by the whole fake bokeh effect.

An SLR camera has the ability to set a focal length regardless of subject.

In this article there are two photos, one clearly taken with a DSLR and one with an XR

In this first photo you can see that the primary subject is the girl, but even the post next to her, and the guys hand it more in focus than the background (because they are closer in distance to the focal length).

Same girl looks like she has been superimposed on a blurry photo when shot with the XR. The hydrant and the buildings have an equal level of blur.

It does work well when there is nothing close to the primary focus (as in the picture below), but I think you need to carefully select where to use it.

Wow, some of those are really impressive, especially those evening shots of Time Square(?).

For the consumer this phone is designed for, this is an impressive phone. Apple is definitely putting pressure on the XS models as well as everything else out here.

But I still think that Apple missed out on an opportunity to flood the market if the XR was $50 cheaper. I get margins and ASP but the volume with a massive upgrade cycle and increased services revenue would make up for it. The XR could be Apple's volume play.

Do you think that is what the richiest company on earth wants, do you think they feel they need to flood the market? Do you think flooding the market and making iPhones cheaper in both first and second hand market would make them more money or better products or better user experience? If you think that and have a solid data, then run to sell this info to Apple!

"Freak out"

boudoir photography is a photographic style featuring intimate, romantic, and sometimes erotic images of its subjects in a photographic studio, bedroom or private dressing room environment,[citation needed] primarily intended for the private enjoyment of the subject and his or her romantic partners.[1] It is distinct from glamour and art nudephotography in that it is usually more suggestive rather than explicit in its approach to nudity and sexuality, features subjects who do not regularly model, and produces images that are not intended to be seen by a wide audience, but rather to remain under the control of the subject.

So, MistrSynistr, there is no depth of field on that photo above, it is just smudged bacground except the person but quality bokeh is about depth of field. ... Once again ... DEPTH ... What Xr does in portrait is very fakish and have nothing to do with budoir photography. It just smudged background but bokeh is about space depth.

Here are some wide angle shots with deep depth of field - long story short very odd.

The brenizer method? I created some photos with the brenizer method, but it’s difficult and time consuming. And needs software support.
