Just like every other thing now the issue is what does silverpete's photo say to me? Lots. Life. Vitality. Excitement. Jumanji! It didn't matter what the camera used was but it was a smartphone! Fois gras Vs Fried Chicken! Polo shirt and jeans when you run Apple!!!!
Taking photos of (silver) coins and medals takes quite some time and patience. You need to make photos from different angles. I bought a new phone this year with much better camera than previous one. Making good photo of proof silver coins it's still quite a challenge. Lighting is very important as well.
Yes, Stark....while it is possible to take excellent pictures on a high quality camera Smart Phone, I think few people can actually do it. Pete is one of those people who has the skill to take great shots with a Smart Phone. .
