From Some Point On, I Am a Photographer

I, who had absolutely no interest in photos, developed a new hobby when I got a smartphone. Actually, this became serious when I got my second phone, but when I was using the first phone, my eyes were so bad due to cataracts that I didn't take many photos, and even if I did, I was too embarrassed to show them off.

However, as I got my hands on the then flagship phone that I wanted so badly, a new area called smartphone was created in a corner of my life. Not only taking pictures but also having an S Pen built-in, I often drew pictures and diligently played a game called NemoLogic whenever I had a chance.

And the phone I'm using now is my third smartphone, which can be considered as a mid-range model among the Galaxy phones. It's not for professional use like the Ultra, just enough for an ordinary person like me to take photos and get compliments for them on SNS?

Here, I discovered something new. It's not necessarily that the more camera lenses there are, the better, but since the phone I'm using now, which was released 6 years ago, has a quad camera, I often feel that the photos come out really well, both in terms of feeling and experience.

So, since I got this phone, I've been taking landscape photos and sky photos when I go outside, and the photos capture the incredibly clean and beautiful nature without any retouching, so I exclaim every time I take them and see them on my computer.

The two photos at the top of this article change every day, and these photos, which I didn't think much of as a smartphone shooter before, are now starting to catch my eye. No one taught me the composition or color, but as I kept taking pictures, the theories were naturally mastered without me knowing.

So, if someone asks, 'How can you take such good photos?', I can only scratch my head and answer, 'Well, I guess I get the hang of it by taking a lot of photos.' This doesn't seem to be a situation just for me. And because I have a disability in my wrists and arms, I can't really hold a heavy general camera, so smartphone shooting is the best and optimal condition for me.

I mentioned earlier that my current phone is almost 6 years old, but I've actually had this phone for a little over 4 years. I bought it second-hand from Amazon, and since I don't really work or anything with the phone, I've only used a little over half of the storage. The most I do is play the Harry Potter Puzzle and Magic game. The rest is checking SNS notifications, excluding phone calls and texts, which I use simply.

But there are times when this phone freezes up sometimes. So, there is a possibility that I might change my phone as early as next year. I'm roughly expecting what kind of phone to get next in my mind. Instead, since my phone's condition is so-so sometimes, I'm always mentally prepared and ready.

I want to continue to use this computer and this phone for a long time, saving money in the future as well.
