    No, but Captain Hindsight's argument (here and on other threads) is that you'll take the same photo whatever gear you use ... just as I could make the same phone call using the latest iPhone or my old Nokia 3410.
    Yeah, that as well. Think we should all just ignore him and let him think about what he's done... haha

    Ah yes, I always put my negatives straight into the computer... :borat:

    Not all photography requires a computer, the computer is a pretty recent add-on. Im going to say that out off all the people that have an iPhone there are 100x the amount of people that make money from their top-end camera
    I didn't realise I rated your posts that often...

    I have a feeling that may be some of the people you upset on the 'best photograph' thread...

    Haha, when you make money with your filmstrips, get back to me. Regardless, you're far more likely to make money with mobile phone technology and affiliate marketing/CPA than with a camera. Also, if you want to get really pedantic, there are integrated development environments which you can get on mobile phones, like C# IDE M 9.0, which you can use to make applications. Is that making money with phones? I'll let you get back to your thread.

    And?
    'when you make money with your filmstrips, get back to me.' Read the full conversation for the context behind such a request; or do you want me to now post famous people making mobile applications and their salary? Because that won't prove anything you don't already know.

    Hahaha! Nah I was joking

    Im used to people getting all sensitive on that thread. I manage to maintain a steady level ground even though TSR is kind of like "OMG you dont agree that string theory is a plausible explanation?! **** you and your family you ****ing ****" followed by a sea of negative or positive rep...

    I read the conversation - it wasn't specifically about DanBrwn making money from photography, it was about making money from photography vs. making money from developing mobile phone apps, which then descended into a conversation where he proposed that you don't need a computer to make money from photography and you posted a sarky comment about film photography.

    No.

    It was about making sense of the claim that you 'Cant make money with phones...' which is clearly wrong.

    :rofl: TSR in one eloquent sentence.

    I generally try to avoid that thread, although if I can get some decent weather over the weekend (possible... ), the 5D's outdoors debut might have to make an appearance.

    I must say, you don't do a fantastic job of remaining neutral on it...

    That's what you were saying. However, a conversation needs two people.

    I want you to post famous people who make lots of money by using just mobile phones please. No computers.

    Also, you have missed the point of the whole discussion here. The number of people who make money from their top-end cameras well out weighs the number of people who make money from their top-end phones.

    Lets say out of 1,000,000 iPhones 1 is used specifically for making money
    Out of 100 Leica MP's 70 of those are being used specifically to make money

    Thats the last time Im going to explain it to you. Its like trying to have a conversation with a religions fanatic here, no matter how much I try and help you understand the topic you will just talk over me and continue in your ignorance.

    I see what you did there...

    Hahaha I just find it annoying when people dont follow the simplest rules ever. Post YOUR - BEST - PHOTOGRAPH, easy.

    ...Apparently not.

    Post someone else's best photograph ... post the photograph you just took ... post a piece of digital art ... post a photograph that you think everyone else should love and then get angry when they don't...

    Lol I'll settle for having a Canon EOS 60D.

    Sadly I don't have £850 lying around to just splash out on a DSLR

    Would really be amazing to film with and I wouldn't be stuck using my camcorder.

    And of course how could you forget the latest entry. Post an obviously professional photograph next to a terrible photograph of your own and try to pass the professional one off as your own for +ve rep only to be caught and shamed. Which will inevitably be followed by a bomb on negs.
