Having just seen a thread asking if the DSLR is dead, and also a lovely example of what cameras can do now with @the black fox 's focus stacking one (the camera does it all itself is seems), I was just wondering how long it'll be before we have specific apps for such as Landscape Photography?
Imagine the scene - you're thinking of going to Blea Tarn for a photo in Spring
You open the "Joe Cornish APP", or whomever has produced one based on what style of photography you like, you've pre-loaded the info on your camera gear, what processing programs you use. You give it a date, or dates, in April and hit "Tell me"
It immediately gives you the best time to go for a range of sun positions and the exact locations of where "Joe" would choose to take the photo from around the lake, adding to the focal lengths he'd choose and a typical aperture setting too. As it knows you have filters and Joe uses them, it tells you what Grads or NDs to use too for the full "JC" look
You arrive at Blea Tarn and the app directs you to where Joe would stand, suggests the height of the tripod to use, and by moving your phone around with the camera working it locks onto the JC shot to show you the composition he'd use, with the help file also explaining where to focus or if focus stacking is needed (an auto camera feature by then)
As you're not totally convinced of this shot, you hit the Thomas Heaton, Charile Waite etc. variations and begin snapping away
Back home on LR9 you load your photos using the JC Preset and it uses the location data, time & date etc. to process it for you - you adjust to taste - job done
---::---
Weeks later back at the camera club's competition, you'll be sitting with your fellow JC APP users telling funny stories about some pillocks you saw who were doing it the 'old' way and actually doing it all themselves, or with that crap old app the Photographer's Emphmeris; some even daft enough to use something called film that grandad used!
The informed Judge sees your photo and talks about the lighting, perfect time of day, great composition, the clever focusing, super use of focal length and brilliant PP - your heart fills with pride - then he says "Its a JC No:21" and gives it a ZERO - stating "Its not really your photo is it"
---::---
Anyone think that's NOT going to happen at some point ???
