Very cool blog. I found you through my friend @phorton's blog. You've really risen to the top of all things photography here on hive/steemit. Really impressed. I've been doing "real life captured photos" on my blog. But I'm much more of a professional traveler than photographer.
In fact I just use my Samson phone camera. I don't like carrying a big expensive camera around in public for the photos I like to take. Especially if I'm in some sketchy neighborhood in Mexico or something.
Is there ever a time where a phone Camera can rival a $5,000 Nikon?
Or any tips on how to get the best out of a decent phone camera?
Following and putting you on my auto voter.
Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks Dan. I appreciate the compliments. I know what you mean about not wanting to carry a large camera around with you in certain areas of the world. The cameras on phones nowadays are amazing and I would have to say that it doesn't matter too much about what type of camera you are using if you are able to use all the fundamentals of photography to get a good photo. A lot of it is creativity as well and trying to capture things in a way that are out of the norm so that they will look interesting. It also has a lot to do with your post process and how you edit the images. A lot of people think that editing photos is wrong and you should keep your images as close to what the camera captures it as, but I think that a lot of the magic of photography comes with editing the pictures to make them look like what you saw in your head and not necessarily what the camera sees.
