Negligible
This started off as a photography idea. The shot was all set up nicely, composition, tripod at the right angle, window light. Very happy with the shot. 20 mins total time. That’s including taking the SD card out of the camera and uploading onto the tablet.
As I was editing the shot, I saw that everything was still set up, grabbed the camera phone. 5 mins total time. Editing took an extra minute longer on the camera phone shot. No messing about with SD cards.
Happy with both the shots and for online posting purposes the difference is negligible. It may be noticeable if I were printing A3 size. The compositions are very slightly different and I could have made more of an effort to compose them equally but I think it proves the point.
FYI the second shot is the camera phone
Really into watches and photography. Come say Hi on here or IG: chunghauphoto
They are pretty close aren't they. I would say the lighting is better on the first picture, but maybe that's a function of the window light?
I'm amazed with how well my camera phone does for pictures. I only used my proper camera for macro shots.
What let's my photos down and makes yours look awesome is the composition 👌 It's much harder than it looks!
First shot is noticeably sharper.
i can tell… if you want good shots even on social, having a real camera is still better, although it takes more effort, imho its worth it most of the time ✌️

Yes, composition makes all the difference - trumps all imo.
Thanks for the compliment but most people ‘photo-literate’ nowadays, either consciously or subconsciously, it just takes time and patience to tickle their visual fancies….

It is but if it were just the second one - no one would say ‘it’s not sharp enough’

A real camera is better in terms of image quality but not in terms of convenience imo. I wouldn’t want to carry a camera around everyday (compact, small mirrorless or otherwise). Specific tools for specific jobs, I suppose.
A professional photographer would take an infinitely better photo than me if they had a compact and I had a medium format camera
Yeah phone cameras came a loooong way from before even editing at times or even auto edit like my iPhone does I’m like did I take that shot? Nope my iPhone did and fixed it lol…awesome shot btw. I’m trying to get better at taking photos myself I’m adding a bit of composition to it not just a quick wrist check shot…but I’m still a working progress unfortunately…

Thanks - we can see ourselves as ‘work in progress’ (our watch collections and photography included!). I’m a RAW shooter so I have to edit no matter what
Both are really good shots, bit on my monitor, the first shot comes across as much better - it seems both sharper and more vibrant.
Agree with the composition comment, also sometimes sharp shadows create lots of visual shapes that make the photos look busy and nosiy, that's why photographers like overcast light or diffusers, second one looks better because of the soft light.

Yes - composition always sounds like quite an easy thing to do but it takes a lot of practice. Centre, rule of thirds, leading lines, edge of frame distractions there are so many things to consider. Most things tend to look better with a ‘soft’ / diffused light but hard light has it’s uses too - again, different tools for different applications
