It's not the camera, it's the photographer: Photo Assignment

I took this picture with a crappy 5mp camera phone.

Doesn't seem like a crappy cam though.

Well Instagram's filters can make the crappiest cameras look good. Hahahaha.

A hopelessly under exposed photo of an insanely bright sunset over the Western Isles of Scotland taken from Arisaig on my Samsung Galaxy and rescued by Lightroom. I left the grainy noise in the foreground to mimic the gritty nature of the scene.

An edited version of this photo from my $40 Lumia 520 got me to second place in the Minimalism contest back in 2014.

Shot on a canon t3i, sure its not that shitty but I sure have found the limitations of it very fast

This is the definition of crappy phone photo. I was on a rooftop in Brooklyn with this beautiful girl I had just met. I had given her my coat and she was positioned juuuust right in front of this old water tower. I HAD to take a picture. Truth be told, I think the final product looks kind of spooky, but it reminds me of some old film camera. It's underexposed, grainy, and just all around poor quality. But you know exactly what it is, and I think it flows perfectly (rule of thirds, etc.). Goes to show that sometimes you don't need the most clean, detailed shot and the most expensive camera around to make art. I'm actually really proud of this crappy spur-of-the-moment photo I took!

I phone 4 or 5 my 3 yo at the time daughter and her vacation friend. Didn't think the cloud reflection would come out at all when I was trying to snap it.
