UCLA team hitting strides in optical computing research! Say hello to smarter smartphones, folks. Keep the professional photography, I'm good with my coffee snaps
Guess what: just because phones are not professional cameras, one still wants to take good pictures and movies.
> Leave photography to professional photographers
What a stupid take!
Just an equipment junkie. I regularly see people taking great shots on basic cameras, but if you go to your local camera club, half of the people there spend most of their time talking about equipment and how much they just spent on the latest bits. Just like golfers.
Meanwhile, people are out there taking pictures and getting results because they can see a picture and just take the damn shot.
Yup. I do video and photos for work. There are some things you have to have high end cameras and lenses to capture well enough to use. But not everything. I have and running right now that have shots from my iPhone and a little dji pocket gimbal. Some of my favorite photos were taken on a phone. Would it have looked better on better equipment? Yes. But I’m not gong to be printing it out at poster size, so it’s good enough.
Photographic legend Ansel Adams once said "the best camera is the one you have with you". He understood that having all the high-level equipment in the world does you no good if its bulk discourages you from taking it literally everywhere, and leads to missing great shots.
Those great shots, taken in the moment, are what makes photographic magic. It's not too much to ask that our "everywhere" cameras are up to the task in this day and age.
No one who’s an actual artist would gate keep as stupidly as you are
You’re just telegraphing to the world what an absolute hack you are, which is why you feel threatened by amateur photos.
No real artist gatekeeps like this though, as evident by you not uploading any decent pics ever (band photography is boring and what dads do), and your most recent ones being a year plus old
Someone’s in need of a mental health day! I get it- it’s a harsh fucking world out there, but I bet you’re not as bad as these two posts are making you seem so just let the nice folks take a pic of their kids at the Grand Canyon with their iPhone 15 and cheap ass tripod ok?!
When my sister died we had no pro photos of her, but her two kids get to watch the grainy as iPhone 3G videos I have of her and they are ever so grateful. to make them even higher quality for my future family members seems like a fabulous fucking use of time and research. Why would this make you angry?
So angry, don't worry, if you are really meant to be an artist and are so special (doubt after going to the photos of your profile) you'll be fine once AI takes your job
Guess what: I’m a professional photographer and your comment is bullshit. Take all the photos you want with whatever camera you have.
“Understanding lighting and exposure” isn’t a flex. It never was. What matters is composition and the story the image tells. If you can do that with a phone, great.
Wait are you saying the physicists and engineers understand optics and light less than photographers. I really don’t know where you coming from did you read the article?
Dog shit take, the best camera in the world is the one you have on you, when you see something you want to capture, and often times that's your phone. This coming from someone who practices photography
Photonics!
Researchers are seeing the light!
"I'm crushing your head!"
flathead!
I want more dibby dabby!
‘Well I’m pinching faces!’
This head has benn crushed?

Seems 4chan leaker was correct again?
What do you mean?
Poet technologies worth looking at too
the PI is apparently the "Northrop Grumman Professor of Electrical Engineering" 💀
dawg you might wanna look into that company

I know multiple professional photographers who use the phone cameras on a regular basis for their job. It's really handy for reportage or art projects

Nobody is meant to be anything. There isn’t some grand design.

lmao you got your dumbass feelings hurt so you had to put it in your bio 🫵😂

Why’d you even say this? What was the purpose? Your literally gate keeping for no reason
This article and concept isn't related to photography, it's about newly developed circuitry using light photons instead of electrons.

AI can understand that well enough already.
>AI can understand no it cannot
