Wrong exposure

Edward, 

The truth is that now some smart 'phpnes are capable of taking fine images. I still maintain that people should check their own work and ask themselves, "will others enjoy this picture". POE is not a place for only high end work, but there should be some limits of acceptance by the photographer. 

Rod, It is an inescapable fact that people's awareness of quality is very subjective. This applies to everything artistic, not just photography. 

As for pictures taken on smart phones, they are fine for social purposes but the images often show compression artefacts. Personally, I prefer to use a DSLR and shoot in RAW for maximum quality, but the convenience of a smart phone cannot be denied. 

I agree with you Rod that the end result is the acid test of the merits or otherwise of the image. I have recently posted a few images taken with an i-phone because my mobility has been affected by health issues and I have been less likely to be using a DSLR.

However, I endeavour to apply the same standards of quality and composition to all my output, so within reason, it does not matter which camera is used.
