same. It's brilliant and I pay them nothing. I tell friends and family about it all the time, but I can't seem to convince anyone to use for it every subscription like I do.

would be great to block all cookie popups. Pry would need to be a chrome extension

big discussion was had around this a month ago https://candid9.com/phone-camera/

Awesome! It's a very simple workflow, here's another video that I don't have on the website for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OctwOpaNoJQ

Yes one use-case is a gig-economy street photography practice, which does already exist in places like the Brooklyn Bridge, Candid9 makes that easier. Another use-case perhaps in y…

Right but at the same time, Average Joe will take better photos with a digicam because they'll behave exactly like I did and make the same mistakes, so arguably it's very naive but…

I don't really understand the current street photographers as I don't know how they would ever make money. Basically if you're already a street photographer, then you aren't motiva…

It is true that I was standing closer and using a wide-angle lens with the iPhone. But it wasn't on purpose to tip the scales, I was just taking an iPhone photo as I've done many t…

I am the creator of Candid9 and I have taken about 290 photos of strangers and distributed them via candid9 QR codes. Happy to chat about it!

How do you take a 45mm focal length photo with iPhone?

I've had passer-bys take group photos with a real camera, no problem. What issues do you run into?

which lens on my iPhone? Just the camera app like everyone else. For the good photo, it's a 30mm lens on Sony a6400 (45mm equivalent)

the player in green has a substantial lean as well. Download the photo and crop and you can see it.

it seems you accept having your skin color changed by the iPhone algorithm... I do not accept that so was making light of it

sony a6400 with sigma 30mm f/1.4, but then the child one is a 2004 Digicam I think a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W5

you'll have to believe me when I say they are not leaning. They were just standing there posing for the photo. Would love for someone else to get more scientific about it, but I th…

digicams are making a huge comeback among young adults. Even a pocket digicam is a big step up from iPhone imo.

iPhones always take "decent" photos even under tricky conditions, but they never take great photos. I would take 10 great photos over 100 decent photos myself.

The iPhone photo in the blog is iPhone 16 Pro which has the 3 lenses (I am the author).

I was born in 95, so my childhood is well documented by my mothers digicam. When I look back at the photos, it is very obvious they are way better than iPhone photos that many pare…

woah I am the author. I don't even have analytics set up on this site, but hope everyone enjoys it!
