I'll focus (pun intended, of course) on the title: Should near future smartphones replace professional cameras? No. The reason is that a digital camera really has three components: Sensor ...
No. Dirt happens. Phones don't magically get dirty less than lenses of high end cameras. In fact, the opposite is true. Even a semi-serious camera lens has a cap or hood. This is a simple mech...
I never cleaned any lens from any smartphone camera and I hope that future smartphones won't require me to do that. I don't know almost anything about camera technology; I am not familiar with the...
First, let's clear up a misconception. Shadows move faster at the beginning and end of the day This is not true. The angle to the sun changes at a constant rate during the day. That rate is eas...
Shadows move faster at the beginning and end of the day, and so a time-lapse with an interval that would show movement then probably won't at the middle of the day. What should the interval be for...
Sorry but no. Contests are one of the easiest things for new members to join as all one really needs is a camera, and so I deliberately advertise them. I do think the feature request to customize...
I just saw this ad on another Codidact: It gave me a good chuckle, but maybe isn't the clearest messaging for newcomers. My understanding is that moderators can exclude certain categories of que...

If your subjects are privy to what you are doing you could also add a large neutral grey board with a high contrast focus target at the same distance as your subjects that will be cut away from bo...
I have located a source for a development system for the technology that I was seeking. It is not a mature consumer product yet but it looks like the technology has not been forgotten which gives ...
First, one should align the lithophane vertically as that way you have better resolution than printing flat against the bed. Secondly, they need to be aligned with long end in line with the direct...
I am going to print some lithophanes on my Ender 3, which has a moving bed. How should I align the object for the best quality?
Given that the difference between black and white on a 3d printed lithophane is the width of the plastic, the greater the difference between the max and the min-width the more variation of grey the...
Questions that have many answers (4+?) have a table of contents that provides details of every answer: currently, the score and some first words. In the photo contests, wouldn't it be helpful if t...
I have been 3D printing some lithophanes, and so far I have been doing so with pictures that I took a while ago. If I were to go take pictures with the purpose of turning them into lithophanes, ar...
There are a couple of cameras that use either LED or Lasers to flash the object and then build a 3d scan of the object from the return. Garmin LIDAR-Lite Optical Distance LED Sensor - V4 Intel ...

Some time ago I asked a question about photographing flames without them ending up fuzzy and blurry. I took this picture during Chanukah 2020, using manual settings on my cell-phone camera, but ...
It hasn't come up quite yet, but as I was thinking of some FAQs to write, it occurred to me that it would be nice to be able to write formulas in LaTeX. Should we enable MathJax for Photo-Video?

exiftool It's available as a standalone application for Windows, and in package distributions for Linux. You can remove all EXIF data from a JPEG with exiftool -all= path/to/file.jpg or you ca...
Instead of "stripping" EXIF data, think of it as making a copy that doesn't include it. My various image manipulation programs do that by default when writing JPG output files. This may have chan...
I record the GPS locations of my pictures but for privacy and other reasons I would like to strip the EXIF data before I upload them online. Looking for a program that, Will process multiple im...
