I took this shot a few months ago, did not have my camera with me that night and had just missed most of the sunset as I pulled into the parking lot but as I was walking out along the top of the dam here in Woodstock, Ontario something caught my eye and when I used the phone camera I was able to capture this image, that when I used the DXO software then Affinity Photo on, this is the resulting photo. It is currently setup to print at 14x10.5 at 300dpi and the print that was done came out perfectly fine to frame on the wall. Once again the only good camera is the one you have on you when the ispiration or opportunity arises!
Have a great weekend everyone!

I actually posted in smartphones gallery quite a while ago but it is to prove the point that the only camera that matters is the one in your hand, its the moment that should matter not what captured the photo

Absolutely true. Here is how I look at it, Phone vs Camera, and correct me if you think I'm wrong about this. The output of a tiny sensor in a cell phone is inherently crappy. The advanced software in the newest phones does an amazing job of "decrapifying" the output, and the results are amazing, as shown in the OP's photo. But the output of a large sensor in a "real" camera doesn't need this to produce good or even amazing results. There is no need for extensive processing before the photo comes out of the camera. You can take the output and use third party software to tweak a photo to your heart's desire, but it isn't always necessary.
I like this. If a phone's photos satisfy the user, that's what counts as important!
I'm learning that post processing can do much, even for cellphone photos. This is a perfect example of this truth!
I know my Canon can do things my phone can't, but those things are becoming less and less as time goes by. Even so, I belive there will always be times photographers will choose not to use their phone.
This makes a very strong argument for phones in the phones vs camera argument. It won't be long!
Nice composition--like the angle.

The thing is I always have my phone with me but at least one day a week, usually Sunday I spend the day with my camera because I know on that day I am headed out to hopefully capture a moment. Some times a moment sneaks up on you like this did and the phone was able to give me enough to work with to show me to recreate the moment. My phone will never replace my camera but at least it’s always with me.
The percentage of pictures captured using smartphones is around 93 percent. Only 7 percent of the pictures are taken using a digital camera like an interchangeable lens camera or a point and shoot camera.
That copied from and inet search, I am the other way around. Over 90 % by cameras.
