Do you choose to take photos with your mobile phone or SLR when traveling?

As a photographer, I will travel with my mobile phone and micro-bill. Different people may pursue different image quality. Brother Mustang advocates quality first. When traveling, it is also a process of discovering beauty. It is a great purpose of traveling to record as many beautiful people and scenery as possible with a camera. Therefore, Brother Mustang will sacrifice portability and comfort and bring a heavy camera and lens.

But different people will have different understandings of tourism and photography, and the equipment used will be different! Moreover, Brother Mustang wants to point out that even if you shoot with your mobile phone, you can have a good time, and you don't have to force everyone to treat the shooting activities in travel with the same standard.

Also, Brother Mustang carefully reminds everyone that traveling is not just for taking pictures!

First, the diversity of image recording equipment At present, mobile phones, card machines, micro-singles and SLR can all be used for shooting, but I won't talk about the medium format, because its high price is temporarily used by rich toys or professionals. Let's compare mobile phones, card machines, micro-orders and SLR.

First of all, mobile phones and card machines are photographic equipment that can't change lenses, while micro-single and SLR can change lenses, which is more playable and has a wider shooting range! But this is not an overwhelming advantage. Because interchangeable lenses mean higher budget expenditure, you should know that one lens is often more expensive than the fuselage, and because a fuselage often needs multiple lenses, portability is greatly reduced.

In terms of portability, it is obvious that mobile phones >: card > micro-single > SLR. Bring your cell phone. Everyone has one. Take it with you even if you don't take pictures, so it will hardly increase the burden, unless you concentrate on mobile phone photography, get some mobile phone stabilizers, additional lenses and the like, which will also increase some burdens. The card machine is also light, but under the attack of the same small micro-single and mobile phones with higher and higher image quality, the market share has shrunk rapidly.

In terms of image quality, it is right to say that the bottom layer presses people. Both micro-single and SLR have the highest CMOS spike mobile phone and card machine in Quan Huafu. Due to physical limitations, it is impossible for a mobile phone to greatly increase the area of CMOS and the volume of the lens, and it can only be improved by algorithms. However, it is difficult for the algorithm to make up for the physical gap in a short time. Therefore, from the perspective of image quality, both micro-single and SLR are superior to mobile phones and card machines.

From the convenience of sharing, the mobile phone is undoubtedly the most convenient to share with the camera. Whether it is a card machine, a micro-single or a SLR, it needs to be synchronized with the mobile phone before it can be shared. More importantly, if the photos taken by micro-single or SLR are not post-processed, its advantages will be difficult to show, so the whole sharing rhythm will be much slower. If you want to "show off" in your circle of friends, you must use your mobile phone to broadcast the travel process live!

Second, the diversity of tourism is a kind of physical and mental cultivation. It is also a good form for friends to communicate or family to get together. It is important to record beautiful scenery, but it is more interesting to record some travel experiences. The different purposes of our travel will determine the different ways and rhythms of our travel.

The content of the tour is different.

For example, in some suburban tourism, we may be more relaxed and centripetal activities, paying more attention to the content and communication of activities and less attention to the scenery.

For example, there are some rare scenic spots abroad, which may only be visited once in a lifetime. It is very meaningful to remember and record them.

There are also some tours, which are purely photography tours organized by film friends.

The pace of travel is different.

If you are with a tour group, the pace on the road must be very fast. Many scenic spots count time in minutes, so it is difficult to find a suitable time and place to shoot.

It is better to rent a car by yourself, but if you take care of your family when you are married and have children, you will not be able to shoot happy things, and it is very important to put family first!

Only similar pure photography groups, aiming at photography, will have enough time to shoot at the right time and place.

So different travel rhythms will also determine what kind of equipment you bring. Like a pure photography team, I'm sure I'll bring most of the lenses and fuselage, right?

Third, the fun of traveling is not limited to photography. With the rise of video content, don't forget that when we take pictures, we can also take videos. Video sharing has become a new media and social form.

The creation of the video and the difficulty in the later stage are obviously more difficult than going to the next floor to take pictures. However, the convenience of taking photos on mobile phones and the later period is still outstanding. Now all mobile phones have the shooting ability of 1080p or even 4K, which can be easily done by downloading the app later.

If you shoot with a camera, although the shooting effect will be good, the workload will be relatively large for the later period. Moreover, the processing difficulty of 4K video also puts forward new requirements for computers!

Therefore, for ordinary people, whether it is a souvenir or a short video shooting, mobile phones are a good choice!

In addition, Brother Mustang also reminds everyone that, in fact, he reminds himself that although photography is the top priority for us fans, when you travel with your family, don't patronize yourself and spend more time with your family. After all, travel is a good opportunity for family communication, don't you think?
