Luxuan Responds to ” Two Original Sins When Using a Smartphone “
In terms of traceability, it should be said that it is the essential difference between using RAW or JPG format when taking pictures. Few people should be used to setting the iPhone to RAW format, so the photos taken by the smartphone can be approximately equal to the JPG format photos. Photography enthusiasts are basically accustomed to using the RAW format. Although it takes up a lot of space, this format can keep the original film as lossless as possible and preserve the image information as much as possible. It is the real original film! At the same time, it also means that you get the most possibilities when using Lightroom to enhance photos. This is why I always feel uncomfortable when I take pictures with my mobile phone. The mobile phone photo + filter screenshot mentioned in the reprint is completely recompressed on this basis. It is a fast-food processing of the act of taking pictures. To put it bluntly, the focus is to satisfy the desire to share rather than the photos themselves. Similar to Instagram Stories. And I’m exactly this kind of person: I need to keep all the photos I took in RAW format. It’s a duel between possibilities and one outcome.
@wangooood responded with the same article:
A little bit of elitist thinking, similar to photography in the classical era must only be an elite activity, reflecting the spiritual activities of the elite. But now photography is already a tool for the common people, and it must reflect the “basic” needs and “ordinary” pursuits of the common people. The classic beauty of the main fantasy is probably only available to most common people who have been doing nothing for a living. Only after living a decent life can we have the kind of beauty you mentioned.
There are a few questions:
1. Do professional photographers have no desire to share?
2. Are the photographers in Luxuan’s article elite? How many cameras do you need to own, or what percentage of your income do you need to earn from photography, to be classified as elite in photography?
3. Even non-elite photographers (refer to the definition of the second point) may use the RAW format by default. Is this “meat eating”?
If one really believes that tools have been democratized, then the inevitable result is that many people can afford minced meat. That being the case, is it recommended that people not open their mouths when chewing minced meat means “standing and talking without back pain”?
